Everyday day man's tree work and cutting thread

[sawmikaze]

 

[Czed]

After 6 year's my brother finally got around to wanting these 2 dead
maple and a hickory down
All three were hard leaning towards the house
He had to rope them and pull them tight with his truck and
Used a come along to pull them over and away from the house.

My sil hates me so I had my tree climber friend drop them
Those slingshot rope thrower things work great
His little 271 with a 16" bar wasn't having any
So he borrowed my @Stump Shot 268
With a 24" bar
to drop them

He's a stihl guy
But was impressed with the 268

That bar pieced together? Nice work by the way. 268 is a dandy

Another windblown tree cut up in the cut bank. This the majority of my cutting - wind blown/storm blown trees. Used my Walkerized MS261 CM to cut the top up in the bank to unload most of the weight. Mastermind MS462CM for the heavier work in the road.

Looks like some of my days.

Just a cheap lightweight Oregon versacut aluminum core with non replaceable tip.
Someplace had them for 38.00 shipped so I bought 5
Holding up fine for me 3 year's on them now
Other's say tips blow out after bore cutting a lot
I don't bore cut much.

Nice that's a pretty g9od looking bar. I still have a few pro reduced weight. They came a long ways, since the early ones. Then I hear the quit making them

We've had a few of the hamfisted operators separate the laminate at the tail twisting on them.

What are the odds of this ? Wind blown basswood right dead center of a double trunk hickory 8 feet in the air .Took me a while to clear this one out without landing a 1500 pound log on top of myself .

I got it down and fence posted it into the size I can drag away with the tractor .

One of the best 20 inch size saws I ever ran or owned was a51 husky. That 51 and 55 line imo were built pretty solid for a inexpensive saw of the times. And smooth

Yes. I run it more than any other 50cc. I’ve had two 346xp. I still grab that one every time. They’re underrated in my opinion. I’ve got a builder out in the shop. I’ll put it together one day.

I bought 6 of the tsumura lw bars
But they are hardly lighter than the standard bar's
Great long lasting bar's I have about 30 tsumura going bar to the 80s
But their lw offerings didn't save much weight.
They have a new version now
I haven't tried.

Cut in the rain all day
We don't burn wood anymore
But I have a guy who comes and gets tree's as soon as I drop and block them
He has a old 3k square ft 2 story house
He has 2 black Bart wood stoves he runs.

Good to know. I noticed that when I bought a husky light, and was told it's sugi I think right? But noticed the stihl lw and cannon lw are lighter
