Wouldn't work.
I have 4 extras in the truck.
We burn of more than one on a day of cutting.

 

[Patrick A]

Patrick why didnt you do a reduction trim and cable ??

Stig if you wanted to go home early you could have just said so

I will keep it in mind for the next one. 😀

Nice work. Tight quarters there.

 

[SkwerI]

That was a lot of work!

 

[Bermy]

Before, during, after

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Scott, that was a lot of tree bud. Nice Job!
Brushy bugger Fi.

 

[cory]

Scott that looks like a helluva job. Impressive.

Do you do any crane work? If there was access on that job, you might find that the cost of the crane is more than accounted for in the time and labor savings.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Scott, that is about the only KK devise I've seen besides mine. At least you had that and some good help

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yes, ratcheting. Works a treat when needed.

The trunk closest to the inside corner of the building- was it a pita to fall it and/or keep it from rolling into the building from on top of the 2 adjacent stumps as it hit the ground?

I found this at the dump and couldn't ask the dumper due to them not speaking english. Would there be any other explanation beside the half plung and then go around the log with the top of your bar to pack wood chips in the kerf? To not pinch the bar

 

[gf beranek]

Heck of a job, Scott!

Nice pics. Well done!

 

[Treeaddict]

That’s what it looks like to me Wayne. I’ve done that a few times on large stumps. Mostly when I need to get as close to the ground as possible.

Could be that they didn't have a sharp chain/ bar long enough available,

or

That's what @cory has shared of a magic technique: keep your chain sharp using Pulling chain while the tip is buried, keeping from contaminating the kerf, flicking off dirty bark as you cut.

 

[SkwerI]

Reminds me of a similar method, if you're cutting dirty wood you can plunge cut in the clean area and up cut through the dirty area. This throws the dirt away and off the chain rather than drawing it in and grinding it into the chain teeth. Makes a huge difference keeping your chain sharp.

Tonight I was about to go to bed, but suddenly I received an offer to help the fire department cut down a fallen oak tree -

 

[lxskllr]

Premium pay for the night and short notice?

 

[Maximalist]

Double price tag and money in advance )

Works with pushing chain too of course, just depends on the set up and angles.

What do you do with all of the wood?

 

[Maximalist]

I fixed the problem - I removed the tree from the roof of the transformer substation and cleared the road. The rest is not my job.

Doug-fir with a corkscrew for a top, with heartwood rot, facing the Puget Sound, over the house. Slow to taper.





Controlled speedlined and free-Speedlined most limbs about 50' or so sideways to the landing zone behind the chipper, using a pulley at 15' high, 30' past the drop zone as the low end of the speedline. Everything was lowered to the ground from the belly of the span. Tight squeeze past the house for the low limbs.




Alturnamats tied to trees, with brush as a catcher's mitt for the wood. Most was firewood doubles cut with a 20", until the lowest 15' of chunks before making a wildlife habitat snag.

2nd doug fir with Phellinus pini heartwood rot in the back.

Sean I really sometimes wish I had staid your size business wise. I used to love to climb, now I hate being responsible for so much

today’s job. Big ass oak over busy street. Women didn’t seem “affluent “ so I gave here a deal back in January. She took a bit getting back and I didn’t enjoy the stress today. Million morons day

 

[SeanKroll]

Went back after a late afternoon lunch and coffee break. It's been hailing, raining, cloudy, sunny fir the last two days.
It was dry until i was getting in the truck, at which point it was hailing solidly.


Made hay while the sun shone. Carried the 2nd and 3rd mat down the stairs after moving firewood and stacking logs of the ground for future years' needs.

Steep for moving heavy logs.

 

[flushcut]

I really dig the “catchers mitt” 👍
