Removing some burnt pines

[davidwyby]

Customer had his place burn down a couple years ago. Went to look at fixing a backhoe that was tore up at the mount. Asked him about the trees and he said go for it. Nice little job, room to drop them, relatively straight trees, don’t get that much. Used the XS2166 8pin 24” big dogs for the medium sized one. The 8 pin and big dogs don’t get along for felling…bucking is quite nice. 359 for the small one, same deal. Finished up some of the bucking with the XS 7900, thing is a monster…

Beautiful morning.

Dang that second back cut for another wedge is a good idea, easier than doubling up in the same cut ?

I might try some more again…intentionally. The idea is that the dead wood is only going to bend so many degrees before it snaps. Three 30° bends added together…
