The Official Work Pictures Thread

Wow. Musta seemed kinda weird and cool at the same time. Just being a fly on the wall so to speak.

Mind it was Cottonwood, but the chipper didn't miss a step all day., barely bogged down. Add in the grapple and the winch = money maker.

Justin, It was awesome to watch and not have a care in the world!

 

[squisher]

I bet. Kinda how I feel when I see trees being worked now. I like to stop and point a bit sometimes. Lol.

 

[Levi]

Haha, yep! I haven't done that type of work in years or so, it's quite the ordeal, I don't miss it much.

Any pictures of where they stow the grapple?

 

[Levi]

Yeah, after seeing that it looks like the only way to go. Those guys hardly broke a sweat all day.

It was interesting to watch the kboom work, I'd never seen that before either.

 

[Burnham]

Sweet, Levi. More than, actually. Fine bunch of machines.

 

[flushcut]

Git'er dun!

 

[Sgriff]

No messin around there! Dayum

Couple of Douglas in a garden, went well except the spool valve went on the saw mill guys loader.

29 degrees. Hotting up.

 

[squisher]

Wolfy looking bastards. Nice work.

 

[Raj]

Some serious work!

I just had 17 stumps this morning, between 10 and 18 inches. Custy checking out one of them.

 

[squisher]

You know what he's thinking. Ahhh what do we have here?, let's piss on it.

Decent day. Got 10 of 21 trees out of this back yard. Not tight but tight enough keeping them in the property lines and not damaging the few trees that are being left. Took a pic of each one just because.

I used the one that slid back to make sure the young one understood why I tell him to get away from the tree when it's tipping

 

[treebilly]

That's all ten. Some were floppers, some took a bit of pounding, and most took a rope just to make sure I wouldn't look foolish if they missed the lay. Pics don't show it well but it's a pretty good grade and they really walk out of the back door into a steep bank.

Beer thirty!!!

[cory]

Excellent pics!

I'd love to see some pics of that monster chipper getting stuffed with gigantic tops

 

[pantheraba]

Great pictures...flopping ten trees in one day is unheard of for me. Some fine, artsy hinges there.

[treebilly]

I'll try to get some tomorrow Cory.

 

[squisher]

Cool shots.

I was thinking wow that one really came back aways and then it was awesome to read that the whole thing had been foreseen and used as a teachable moment.

 

[Bodean]

Nice Pics!

Here's my meager stump. It was a dead myoporum tree that took a couple hours to erase.
I was gonna grind it, but just kept finding utilities....so we had to hand dig it for two hours.

Quite the antithesis of Levi's Iron Pics.

Yep. Caught a taller tree and jumped back. I was making room for the struck tree to be felled. The oak would have most likely blasted through that maple but it was on the downhill side. I took the least risk in that situation I feel. Also any tossed limbs would be going away from the house. I did a lot of explaining today. Took a decent side leaner and showed how to quarter cut ( hope I'm using the right word). Cut the compression side first and bang in wedges, then cut the tension side. Made sense to me and it worked like a charm.
