Seasoned Jarrah extremely hard on the gear but wow does it burn hot

Ya I have heard you guys have wood that is a lot harder than our Osage orange(hedge), and I tell ya it's hard.... I would like to try and cut some of that stuff just to see for myself....

And ya I can't imagine how hot that stuff burns.... Do you guys have to use semi- chiesel chain in that stuff...

The 661 is done by Randy wears a 36" bar the wood I chase is always as big as the bar I get on average 7 cuts outa the chain and the edge starts to fade .As Randy puts it it's harder than wood pecker teeth

My friends with the bucket truck came back Friday with a crane. Sure made their lives easy. People who wonder why tree services charge so much for cleanup have obviously never done it. They were there for two hours that day. I have two days in cleanup already. Its almost there, but still not done. Of course it was hot, miserably humid, and once I got to working I got to slacking on the picture taking/documenting. I got a some but failed to get a few shots of the trailer loads of brush that make the job so time consuming. Tree number two... the exceptionally large hollow black gum(black tupelo)

Will you be using the wood for milling or firewood

 

[Rob Stafari]

And of course another dead assh tree while they were here and within reach ...

 

[Rob Stafari]

Not real sure at this point. Tree had a considerable lean and I'm not sure how that would affect milling, but it was a nice and branchless stem. So I left them long to give myself the option. Plus we were fairly well beaten down by that point and it was much easier to roll them over some rigging straps and lift them on and off the trailer with the tractor. There just so happens to be one of these brand new in a box never opened(except to get out the instructions) on site and a 394xp to put it on, just in case I get a wild hair.

To top it off we had a storm roll through and blow the top out of a sugar maple onto the back drive...

 

[Khntr85]

Wow , looks like you have been very busy.... Have you milled much wood before....

 

[Rob Stafari]

Haven't ever milled anything, but there's a first time for everything and I'm looking forwards to it.

I hope you post a few pics of your mill in action
