Trees you've cut

[CrystalRiver1]

Possibly Pig Nut Hickory???

I'd love that for sure!!

Nice! Most of these are just road side trees. Trying to get em across the road is easiest for us while we are on it. View attachment 323544

Im kinda impressed that you are allowed to fall trees on a blacktop road.

We have to have flaggers and all sorts of fan fair for cutting anywhere near a road. I’ve done work that even mechanically we had to have cutting gates on logging roads and all sorts of stuff.

We climb up on the grapple boom and put a choker on anything that leans too hard to swing away from a field, road, powerline, house, yard gnome.. we avoid throwing a tree in a vacant field even because its faster to rig it and fall it in the brush vs cleaning up a mess. But you have to be on youre A game to keep control

Now that I've sniffed it a time or three...it is rather sour!

My first clearing job back in the late 1970s I blazed through and made a pile of pickup sticks 24-32" Doug firs. When the contractor showed with the cat to skid the logs out I became well educated falling for lead not so politely. I learned to line up my lay.

At some point, I was lucky to get a good primer by a skilled logger, including lead, before I ever set foot on the job: Bore cut, drop & top next to each other in the direction of the skidder road, do not fall in the direction of the high-voltage transmission lines, & keep ahead of the skidder. The logger checked out my stumps and said I was doing OK.

Looks like a good way to bust timber up dropping them straight down off that.

Nah. Just drop a few at the bottom then throw the top ones on, they stay intact. It also saves out the pavement. No damage. A few definitely weren’t worth saving though, borer damage or hollow. Pretty much firewood trees.

I'll pass..

Is that a private road? I'm just trying to picture how that could ever happen here. Is the boundary right above and the road is the only option?

He's a lot of fun. We met up one time, and he told me that I'm ugly enough to "make the clocks run backwards and turn a Bobcat vegan."

Trying to finish up all my wood cutting chores before tax season starts in a week and a half. Went up to about 30 F today and is supposed to turn colder for a while, so figured I get the saw work mostly done.

Went back to the Fish and Game club and finished bucking up the large stem on that Ash tree.

That MOFO Hybrid pulls real nice, even when the 28" bar was fully buried in that crotch. Can't ask for more than that! That saw broke in very nicely!

My 15 year old Grandson came along to help me out (the wood goes to them). I filled the trailer again, and there is one or two more loads still there! I didn't even take the big stuff yet!

Nice Mike!

 

[huskyboy]

Big ugly ash. Big ugly crown in it too.

A little bit of fun from earlier this week stretched out nice but not quite as long as we all like to the top.
