Still alive. Couple pics of tree takedown in my yard. MMWS Dolmar 6100

[davidwyby]

Been more work than play lately but did some play work recently. Still have a bunch of saw projects, maybe get to them this summer when it’s too hot to be outside.
Got to use the 6100 at sea level. Below, actually...anyway, it rips! I did the little stuff with the Jred 2050 and then I couldn’t keep up with the saw when I switched to the 6100 .

Will try to actually tune and run it for a video now that I have some logs to play with.

That first pic made me dizzy lol. Good piece of work there

 

[davidwyby]

Not as neat as I wanted but was in a hurry and had it down and gone in like 30 mins. Was fun dropping the logs on the HD steel deck trailer right outside my 14 y/o son's bedroom while he was playing vid games. BOOM! Bwahaha.

Gotta like the duece out there getting it done!

 

[davidwyby]

Almost time to hole up in the AC and put saws together. Got too many. If you see anything in my sig you like, say so.

 

[davidwyby]

Tomorrow early to beat the heat : 6100, 395, 2050 if I can tune the no idle out of it.

At least is not completely on the ground. Hopefully more is repairable, and it wasn’t the house. Same thing happened to me a few years back. No harm on me just extra cleanup.

 

[davidwyby]

Yeah. Shoulda brought the truck in and yanked it down but it would have been a hassle for the lady with the goats and all.

 

[davidwyby]

This one went the right way. Pretty red wood and hard as heck.

 

[davidwyby]

Wrong time of year for this. Dollie is awesome though, I can’t keep up with it.

 

[davidwyby]

All done. Fixed the shade and all. Well I still need to unload the trailer...here’s how I loaded it. Didn’t seem worth it to put the winch and boom on the truck.

 

[davidwyby]

That euc is heavy. I could feel it behind the truck. No wonder I’m tired.

 

[davidwyby]

My buddies tell me I should put more words with my pics.
So the trailer loading splanation. Pulley at the front, cable goes from log to pulley to ratchet strap anchor on the stump. Had my son (15, time goes way too fast) drive the truck back n forth to drag the logs up the trailer while I wrassled ‘em and kept it balanced so it would tilt by adding the smaller logs in the corners...make cents?

Hard to see the tree falling that direction, but not hard to see why the hinge failed, the dutchman .

 

[davidwyby]

Whew I’m beat. Whittled from the bucket today. Need to get back in shape.
That saw is fuuun to cut chunks with, especially after being in the bucket with the 2050 and safety chain

 

[davidwyby]

Hey dork, your chain is loose.

 

[davidwyby]

That euc that went sideways is amusing and embarrassing now. These days I’d have cut the side leaning limb off with the pole saw, gunned more to the left, and not left a Dutchman!

That euc is heavy. I could feel it behind the truck. No wonder I’m tired.

Some of the heaviest toughest wood I've ever handled. When my climber and I do eucalyptus jobs, our rule of thumb is almost double the price. It's heavy, hard cutting, and you always end up with more brush than you think.

Did the goats eat all of the grass?
