do I need a bigger saw?

The "limb wood" on that tree would be split once for my stove!! LOL!

Fire up that 288 and give er hell! But like MustangMike said, keep your head on a swivel and watch for that big mother starting to shift or roll.

Yes Sir.. That tree truelly has the potential of being a widowmaker.
I am amazed that it didnt move an inch while I was on top limbing it..
Gots me a pr of homemade corkers wiff a zillion hexhead screws in da vibram soles. Walked that tree like I was on flat ground. Farmers sons think Im nuckn futz..
Dementia does usually come wiff old age..

Too bad you didn't get to fell that tree. That’s the fun part, the rest is just work.

I think termites ate the root system, plus we have had sum big winds..

Be nice to get some quarter sawn slabs out of that one. Make a draw bridge or giant bar top.

Looks HEAVY!!

 

[sawfun]

That looks like fun!

Wish I had a downed tree that big to play with, but nope - trees that large are rather rare here.

 

[Marshy]

Damn! I'd be milling some slabs from that beotch. Nice tree.

 

[MustangMike]

It is difficult to mill when they are that large. I prefer about 2' diam for milling. 3' + gets tough to manage.

You need a Stihl lol

 

[junkman]

I would cut it up the long way just to show its not the size of your saw but how you use it .

 

[XP_Slinger]

Pr o 288's n a 390 will gitter dun!
Can you say noodle fest!

Hey dall,, I would use a 660 on it if I had one. Make a good block to keep it off da ground while I noodle...

Best answer. Lmao!!!!! 288 FTW!

Yeah buddy

 

[Blackgreyhounds]

Yes and no. As a "man" you always need a bigger saw. However, the 288 is a sweet machine. That said, you ABSOLUTELY need to clean the lens on your cell phone camera. Too bad your picts are so cloudy.
