I used a super tall face cut to help with that, but you're right, too much hinge is not a good thing.
I more likely to error the other way and not leave enough hinge.....

Liken that 500 I bet ,

Running a few ported 500i’s for a day or two lately reminds me to appreciate how good I used to feel after running the 394/5’s all weekend

Dead roadside Ash from today. It was more of an ivy tree though, absolutely covered in it.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Sawed down this oak next to a house yesterday.

Two Ash trees I cut for a neighbour. These ones were healthy and had little dieback.










I smashed my saw on this job. Hopefully all that was damaged were the cover, air filter and manifold. I will find out when I have the new parts fitted.

How long is that bar?
Can the 241 handle that?

20"
Yes it does fine, and the extra length really helps my back at the end of the day.

A row of pines on the farm I grew up on were in the way for modern ag equipment. Planted by a great uncle of mine, the largest one was very close the power lines, yet not “close enough” for them to top it or take it down for us. Of course they pointed out that if the lines were to sustain damage as we took the tree down, we would be liable.

Barely visible in the pic is a cable connected to a 70’s White 2-70. The wind picked up just as I prepared to make the cut, blowing toward the power line. I left a fairly thick hinge, maybe more than was needed, then pulled it over with the tractor. It went as planned but I was relieved once it was safely on the ground.

The saw used was an 046 bought from Dick Harry, an iconic Stihl dealer in those years in Alma, WI. A bit after Dick retired, his son Jerry (now also retired) open a Stihl dealership in Nelson. You know, the type of dealership real saw people are drawn to. One where the owner performs all the service work, is highly knowledgeable, actually stocks parts, and has great prices. We miss Jerry and are reminded of that every time we visit the nearest current Stihl dealer, at an Ace Hardware store…….it’s just not the same.

Nice work. You’re not too far from me. I have logged in Buffalo Co, but mostly stay on my side of the river now.

When Jerry retired, that hurt a lot of loggers who relied on his service and good prices. I’m afraid the days of mom’n’pop dealerships are over.. And I agree, the surrounding dealerships leave much to be desired.

When Fred retired the red wing implement it was a sad day as well. He did the work himself and knew his stuff. His last day I went to congratulate him and ended up helping him as customers were lined out the door. I was less helpful then I am now which still isn’t much. However he did take me to lunch after he locked the doors for the last time in business. I still have his number and have reached out for help finding parts as he sold most to a dealer somewhere south of him.

Some trees I cut recently. All Ash. Some heavy leaners along the road that required winching.

This first one went sideways. Perfect cuts but the side lean was too much. The winch got it moving, then it went off to the right once its own weight took it. Tall thin tree, sixty feet high but only ten inches thick. Smothered in ivy.
