I think the initial rupture would blow out most simultaneous sources of ignition, such as sparks from metal ripping apart.

Maybe, but the woods will still burn.

I remember an incident in MA.
Place had a gas leak, furnace I believe. Basement.
Guy went down with flash light, cllicked it on. Just enough spark I guess, there was now a hole where the house had been and not much left of the neighbors.

Perfect fuel/air ratio is key. Those new fire suppression screens they put in gas cans now to keep fire from getting inside and blowing them up, in my opinion, will not stop the fire if there's a good fuel/air mix in the can.

It has a chart for working off the tires over the front and 360°. I don’t use it very often, but often it’s a handy option.

It's undoubtedly an amazing machine...but it would appear that a moderately competent faller with a chainsaw could have matched it on that one, in that location .

I'm just giving you a ribbin', Carl . Hat's off, that beast is really something. Congrats.

I'm thinking about the weight on that cracked driveway, plus the weight of the log, plus the rear weight shifted onto the front tires while holding the log.

It’s been a couple months since the bid, I remembered needing the lift.. when I pulled up I told the guy that started the job that I could flop that across the driveway, but I’m already here with the MRT so whatever… then I saw the broken limb in another tree I was supposed to get and it made sense again.

Meh asphalt driveway we’ve worked on for over 20 years, sitting still, and only ~2-2.5klb pieces. Tire pressure is only going to be so much.

I don’t have the lmi readout to calculate the weight on the front axle with that pick. Empty and retracted grapple is 24.5klb.

3 years and a week or two ago. Today’s tree’s tips are just in frame on the right.
