The Official Work Pictures Thread

ROW's are ROW's!

I've been chased outta a pine from a redneck wielding a shotgun...fun stuff!

 

[Mick!]

A few people are upset but it's mainly a rural area we are in. This was about 15'-20' wide grass and will be 60' now. The most complaining we get is the lack of firewood we leave. With an 18" and 21" chipper, and tight deadlines there isn't time to cut wood off unless it's to big to chip.

I get that a lot with domestic clients (on a smaller scale obviously) the stock phrase used "if it can go through the chipper, it goes through the chipper"

 

[Limbrat]

Thanks guys, there is a story about the big trees and me where I live and I'm sure that is why I do so many. I'll make a thread.

Looking forward to that.

Rich, what do you have for a 21" chipper, 1990 Bandit?

Nice one Mik, Im going to try that line.

Wrapped up. No employee hassles, but a sore shoulder from doing groundie work. Hopefully, with family matters settled more, I can more easily handle employees making rookie moves and trying to figure things out for themselves, instead of listen to what I figured out at the bid, and have been orchestrating around.

Husband said--Sean I like you and all, but I wouldn't have paid $1000 to remove that tree... But, Yes, Dear. House husband of two years. Wife is a HR VP at a hospital. Good gig for them both.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Me too. I'll be happy with a BMG

Happy is an understatement. BMGs kick ass.

CoolVest!!!

There must be something here that I'm just not seeing!

You bored the hinge on that spar. Cool, I always do that, makes them so much easier to get to fall.
But what the hell is that wedge doing in the facecut????????????????

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Deep cut face, undercutting the COG, felled away from the tree and garden toward 10:00/ 11:00 in the last picture. The back-cut is the small side of the hinge, with the wedge placed by boring out a spot to make sure I could sink the wedge, if needed, and gutting the hinge.

All the rest of the logs were dropped from the spar with "Magic Cut", no pull rope, no hinge to bend.

 

[stig]

Sorry.
Looking at the felled spar, I simply couldn't read that scenario into it.

Looked more like a Murphy micro face.

To be honest I still don't see it.
Isn't the face pointing up and 45 degrees to the right on the felled spar?

 

[stig]

I looked again.

Now I see it.
Your face is up and to the left.

But what the heck is that pointing up and to the right that I mistook for a face?

( A multifaceted face that would have had one of my apprentices in for a severe reaming, but still a face)

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

I hit something, and my chain was cutting sh*tty. Missed a nail on the back cut by 1/4", barely saw the nail head. I grabbed the 20" bar on the 460, and tried to clean up the face from both sides.

I sharpened and bucked the log after the backcut with the 36", in case I hit some more 'something'.

I shaved the bark and a hair of wood on the hinge corners.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

CoolVest!!!

In the fridge, ready to go soon.

 

[stig]

Ok.
Man, that was one of the more difficult logs to do " felling forensics" on.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

I can believe it.


Done with mirrors.

Rich, what do you have for a 21" chipper, 1990 Bandit?

Vermeer BC 2100. Nice machine but has been poorly maintained. That problem will hopefully be remedied now that we actually hired a mechanic. The newer ones come with the modifications that I suggested ( better chute design and drop gate on the bottom roller). Getting things started with Carl on a terex 790 demo.

Edwin loads some of my Cottonpig logs with our Knuckleboom.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Awesome piece of gear to have in your arsenal!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Crispy critter, down a bank, Manuel never broke a sweat.

 

[Jed]

Nice Dingo Stephen. When did you get that pig?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

almost 2.5 years now. Going to pay her off here soon..
That was Willies and then Dave's (thattreeguy).
Just put a brand new motor in her

 

[Bodean]

That's rad Stephen....great lineage.

Some pics of late off the phone...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Gimme sum dat chicken!!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

And now I want chicken... Nasty slimy stump.... I guess you can call that tree poop.

Deva, I love owning things from some of the people in this forum.
They are such treasures to me.
Stehansen made me my first 3 porty lowering devises. I now own (well, making payments on) his old Vermeer 1250 chipper.
I only wish I could buy like Brendon's log trailer or Squishies ghetto truck.
Treasures

 

[Jed]

Nasty sludge! Euc sludge?... Yuck.
