Bout to attempt to weld this Linville industries thumb onto the backhoe.
I think they shipped the wrong length brace piece... but I think it'll still grab a log ok....

 

[Semotony]

So, JimBear sent some .050 x 3/8 my way and then auctioneer gave me this cs 305that uses that loop size. $20 is what I gave for both the saws in the pic now to do a test r 2 on the echo since it's light enough for me to handle. Half way thru the 6 weeks of weight restrict

 

[Hedgerow]

Sick of oak tree tops now.

Can’t tell ya how many loads of branches heavy with leaves I’ve hauled off at this point.

Did get a 16’ section of decent trunk out of this one. Bout 30” diameter..

How's the house rebuild coming along Mr. Steve? Everything going to plan so far?

 

[Semotony]

The cs 305 ran on a splash, runs chain at "idle" from tank. L screw not it so prolly throttle wire need of adjust. Went to yard waste dump and used a cs that's not osha approved. 1st in almost a month since all the others are over my lifting limit according to surgeon. lol

The house is totally gutted now except for the wall studs. All insulation is gone. All wiring gone including breaker panel. I’m guessing the next step is get the roof replaced. Hopefully that will start this week.
On another note, got the 4 wheeler running and driving now. It’ll be nice down at the stamp.

Turns out the trip to the big city was totally unnecessary....
Picked up a rig right here in Gainesville yesterday.
It's a '97 with a 5sp manual, and 5.7 gas, 160k and no rust.

That rig is worth keeping and repairing as needed.
Not all can say that.

 

[Hedgerow]

Finally got the top worked up, hauled off, and the stick down..

That’s a 562 with a 24” bar for reference..

Horrible monster....
What vereity of tree is that?
I thought you said it was oak, but it don't look right.....from my easy chair...

Yes, it's definitely a good solid start.
The first thing is the heater/ac fan is getting replaced tomorrow, and then I gotta find out why the ac compressor isn't kicking on, I hot wired it to make sure it's not the clutch.... it's good, so it seems it's a wiring issue farther up stream......dang electrical stuff.
