Are the lines just for stabilization, or are you gonna haul with them?

Just to hold it there while we take the top otherwise it would be really on the garage. It didn’t hit the garage hard and got hung up in a maple up hill behind the garage. Take the top, lines hold, take another pick, and one more. I think three picks total. No rigging points or ground to lay it down on. Tight.

Picked up the logs from the Euc I dropped for my buddy. Bucked with 346xp.




@Burnham here’s the beef

Several thousand pounds on it (less than the forklift it hauled to load the logs) and it doesn’t feel it…Has 12,000lbs of tire capacity, ‘boot the same for the suspension and frame. Weighs 4,000.

We’ve been on rather a nice job that we’ll finish tomorrow.
This is rather a good clip.
Blue sky, jet stream, wind, satisfying thud, you know the sort of thing.

Picks

 

[flushcut]

Two picks 900 pounds and 1600 pounds. Cranes are magic!

Craning out in the woods. Killing time more than anything. Last tree at the Y camp. Split co-dom maple threatening two cabins. We will spend the rest of the day hunting mushrooms😎

@flushcut It looks so much better having the saws and gear laid out in a proper row as opposed to a saw on the crane deck, hardhat on the outrigger, saddle on the pad etc. Presentation is everything!

 

[flushcut]

I am glad you enjoyed the pic. We had to unload the truck and park it a block away, saves on walking lol.

 

[treebilly]

I agree. Laid out proper instead of on my deck. Guys are always putting stuff on the outrigger beams too. If I have a flat set up I’ll retract them from the operators cab. Luckily the only things I’ve smashed have been water bottles and coffee cups. Nice job @flushcut

 

[treebilly]

About half of what we gathered. Only two of us eat them so we split the haul. Weather hasn’t been conducive for growth but still a good mix of grays and blondes. Come Sunday the campers should be finding them by the wheel barrel load

Placing/leaning stuff on a vehicle has been a pet peeve of mine for 35 years! Way back to my 20's when I had my lawn business and a new 1988 pickup, it pissed me off when people leaned rakes or shovels on my truck. Just 2 months ago I punctured a tire on a trailer because some moron leaned a pitchfork against it. and when I pulled out it got flipped by the front tire and punctured the back tire. Screwed up a $60 pitchfork as well as a $150 tire.

We hung a Bear Trap doug-fir from two big firs.

Would be good to save some spores on sheets of paper, and send them my way in case I build a Morel patch. I don't know that it would work here, though. I might not have enough shade, rain, fog and the right temps.

That's worthy in the subsistence thread!

I need clear space if you know what I mean. Thou shalt not cluster fudge thy tailgate.

Tall, lightning struck Tulip Poplar from yesterday. Had a pull rope in it but those triple taper wedges lifted the spar off pretty good. No need to stack, but not near the power of a finer taper.

That must have felt good getting some weight out of that tree!

Honestly, I had the wind in my favour the whole job, I just gobbed it, back cut, wait for the wind to pick it up, finish the cut and watch her fly. Nary a butt puckering moment the whole job.
