Everyday day man's tree work and cutting thread

[Basher]

Yeah buddy. Huge trees. Burns fabulous, hot lots of coals. Almost no ash.

I would like to have them here, would make better firewood than most of the stuff that grows naturally around here.

Hell that little Bobcat would be be a dream with a lot of the firewood and small removals I do, plus the smaller dump trailer or an old dump/grain truck (but newer than the '63 F-600 that I sold...

Look up Oakland Hills Fire 1991 and you'll know why ....

That was a nasty fire. I worked in some of the houses after they started to rebuild.

There are too many non native trees to think they can get rid of them and go with native trees is cost prohibitive and really most likely wont change anything unless Oak trees have fireproof leaves now.

Yes, having lived near eucalyptus trees, i definitely understand wanting them gone. They do pretty well take over an area and out compete everything else. They grow to an absurd DBH, like over 10', which makes their eventual removal quite an undertaking, and they are basically standing torches. The oil they produce is extremely flammable. Tossing green branches in a fire is quite exciting. Think pine branches but about 5X more flammable.

Yeah those Eucalyptus trees explode with fire. Had a few giants come down on the county roads. Got a call early one am, to head in early. Call was a tree down chileno valley road. Yeah try 4 giant eucs down. Couldn't even see pickup trucks on the other side. It was like a bad dream. 3120 got here yesterday fellas!

It sure is some good firewood, I look for it all the time.

Had three of these around house - Iron Barks

5' oval at the base
Chain nightmare
The Eucs behind my chimney are about 100 yards away and over a 100'+ tall on Prop line x 12.
Out of the fall line thank god

That 3120 will be a great addition to your fleet, they are only used for chainsaw mills around here and do very well with long time cuts without overheating. Only thing that I wish they had was a fully adjustable carb but the one on them is adequate as long as the oil ratio is kept on the higher side, most run 40:1 around here.

Absolutely agree!

Cool thanks buddy! I agree on fully adjustable carbs. Every saw should have one.
