Their BB 1990 will eat most all of it and not notice

...Carl: Did you cut that rad hinge up? How you liking the five-hundo?...

Yeah, I cut my notch perpendicular to the lean of the tree, made the back cut level... oof but inconsequential. The 500 was ported by @huskihl , I’m liking it but I haven’t used it much yet. Throttle response is fantastic, plenty of torque to lean on. Was going to knock down some oak fatties today but that job got moved out 3 months. Nothing particularly sizable the rest of the week. I’ll probably put a 20” bar and 8 pin sprocket on it.

The ugly hinge... pulled over with the RG80 and a 1/2” rope.

View maintenance, cut and dice the offending stems. Awesome diverse mix of mostly low growing shrubs, easy peasy. No good before/ after comparison pictures.

Looking out at Ragged Island, and Ram Island in Casco Bay. Beautiful place to be

 

[Tree09]

Very scenic place to work! I always wondered if you are fighting wind when working that close to water tho, that would almost ruin it lol

 

[Bodean]

Do those view trees bounce back... lime thicken up again?

Here's some pics from work today...

 

[Bodean]

And these bad assed tracked 360 dump trucks...

That tree's pretty cool looking. My client got one of those crawlers for the stream restoration jobs. Used it to shuttle materials along fairly narrow paths. Looked pretty cool to me, but one guy said it was boring to operate.

The Atlantic Cedar... The whole property had about 7 of those monsters.. my hat is in there for reference.. Go Giants!!!

I've been using a stock one lately and it is often a pain to start. All you get is a primer bulb. The more you push it, the more it helps, but half the time it has a few failed starts before it finally keeps going. No quick and easy manual choke. I find the 201tc to act similarly, so I like to reach for a 193/4t because they have a manual fully adjustable choke. Set somewhere between half and full depending on how warm the engine is, and crank at full throttle. If it acts like it is going to die right after starting you can tweak the choke to keep it going. No slow to respond computer chip.

 

[Bodean]

Maximalist.. Love the picture. What are you standing on? and what is your climbing device?

Jed... I'm jealous of what you get to cut on... Big beautiful trees.

 

[Jed]

Carl: Yer a good cutter, man. So... why an 8-pin if you are dropping down in bar size? If I am not wrong (but I am wrong by a dreadful percentage) An 8-pin increases torque, while a seven increases chain speed, no?

Max!!! Dude. Yer the man. Nice to see you sir!

Sean: God’s country. God’s work. Well done man.

Deva: Yeah dude, I’m still INSANE jealous over yer 210 foot triceratops Redpig you slayed all those years ago.😂

Was super psyched today to get my man William up in a biggish Fir. Took him a loooong stinkin time to brush out and top that pig, but he done er. Everybody wasproud of him. I went up after lunch and chunked er down

 

[Bodean]

I miss that stuff... shit brushing out and topping is the warm up for the chunk fest or pull off or false crotch afternoon show... 2 shows a day everyday...

You're in a sweet spot Jed.

Good job William!

You got it backwards, a 7 pin sprocket pulls 7 drive links per engine revolution, an 8 pin pulls 8, or 14% faster chain speed.

Sharpened the chain and knocked down three pines on this job. The 500i is still a ripper!

 

[Burnham]

Pah...my great good friend Jed has gotten so many things backwards, it begins to be far too much to itemize....

Did your hat cover "pine cones"?

I'm standing on a metal wire. Device Petzl Gri-Gri.

 

[treebogan]

I did some "Hobby Logging" in a stand of planted Spruce to allow a neighbor to view the ocean.

I hadn't logged anything with a dozer for over 20 years,I forgot how much fun it was.

The logs are going to be used as firewood.

 

[Bodean]

Thanks Max, I thought i was seeing things w the wire.. I was like that doesn't look natural.

The gri-gri nice... I've never used it... I've seen it used for a flip line or lanyard.. and as a belay device..
There is so much to learn in our work. Thanks for responding.

Here's an old pic from about 15 years ago in Petaluma... So sad I got rid of that truck.... 1969 F-100...

Today's work is solo

 

[lxskllr]

Tight quarters there.

 

[SeanKroll]

Narrowed up this crispy madrone as high as i felt "comfortable", pulled some mature huckleberry to one side, jumped the butt over it, and cleared a large hazelnut/ filbert that i laced up and pulled back with a rope, landing the top 40' into forest brush.

Pull rope in case i wanted speed to tip it. No need.

 

[Mick!]

I never have a clue what you’re talking about Sean, but I enjoy the photos anyway.

 

[BeerGeek]

Mick, what he's saying is that he had to tie back a tree and a bush below the Madrone tree he was dropping, so the top would clear them/cause no damage.

 

[cory]

Agreed.

But the pull rope for speed, who's gonna pull that if you were cutting
