not so pros

[Coltont]

There's that aspect too, as I do some milling and have made a few boards with the notch on the end. I'm no Pro, make no mistake, more like an orP when it comes to felling, so I try to pay attention when I can. I already learned more from you guys here than I did from reading all of JA's BS, was a bit of a disappointment to say the least. We have a mixed bag as far as timber goes, Norway, White, Tamarack and Jack pines, Red Oak hard and soft maple, birch, poplar and cedar for the most part.

Pretty similar to here. Not much larch or cedar of any size here though.

Keep in mind that on hardwood timber the most valuable wood comes from the first 12 feet. With a Humboldt your going to have a higher stump leaving some (not really that much if you'd take your time and notch low) of the most valuable wood on the ground still. Low stumps are your friend. Skidders are near magnetically drawn to high stumps it seems. This is the result of hot dogging and trying to turn around going to fast and putting the high side tires on the high side of a stump on a slope.

The stump the guy is standing on is the one that rolled him. It's even a low stump.

Good point. In the pastures here we cut them high so we don't rape the bottom out of a truck or tractor. That and having our way with the livestock.

There's only 4 things to do on the weekend up here worth doing:

1-involves someone else, & I'm not going there.

2- Snowmobiling- I left mine at home [emoji849][emoji849]no rentals

3- Copious quantities of alcohol. Not anymore.

4- Ice Fishing. The ice isn't thick enough for me. Others are doing it.

Cedar here pretty small too, usually hollow as well.

I've cut pasture timber quite a bit. I wouldn't be disappointed at all if I never got to again. When there's animals in with trees they stomp all around the trees as pack the bark full of dirt. All you get done doing is filing you chain add chasing cows away.

Not going after #1 either.

I keep reminding myself just because something is easy doesn't mean it's the "best practice."
