Trees you've cut

[Canadian farm boy]

Just a small maple.

One of my most memorable...

First up... the offending walnut trees. The neighborhood had had enough of them dinging cars and heads, so vanquished they were.

 

[Rob Stafari]

Don't you dare look at the fence like that, you dead ash tree.

 

[Rob Stafari]

More dead ash trees...

Dead pine tree leaning over a dear friend's electric main. Group effort that time. I spiked up and limbed with the 200t till it ran out of gas which was just far enough to put a tag line in it and pull it on over. Was nerve racking manning the tag line while someone else notched and fell it. I'll stick to the chainsawing next from now on, safety first...

 

[Rob Stafari]

The most recent offending tree... Punky soft maple that was threatening my good friends stamped concrete patio.

This was technically the most recent I suppose. Little dead magnolia. More of a bush than a tree though.

Great thread .

Red oak, split all the way to the ground.

Strapped it and dropped it as a single trunk. House on right and wires to the left.

I'll have something to add come this weekend. I have a coworker that wants a popular down. He claims its 5' but its really looks more like 3' at DBH. It might be 42" down where it'll be cut. More to come. Nice pics.

I got this to do. Mother nature took it down. I just have to make it disappear. All oak.

Did this today. Just a little guy.....

Its over 9' across the trunk. I still have to flush it and grind it out.
Tree Monkey 660 did the main killing with a helping of TM 461

Wow. Big old dead trees.

Last one here was a dead oak that was dropping limbs on the fence. Fence was fixed by the time I made it there.



One this way.



And #2 the other.

Cut this up the other day. About 100yds away burnt most of it already !!!
I don't usually drop trees. Just scrounge, split, burn repeat.

I'm very fortunate that around here scrounging is very easy as almost no one burns wood for heat so very little competition when the need arises for firewood. But that also makes selling it worthless so I don't sell firewood for that reason.

Done with a 200T, 260 and 044. Will get run through a band mill.



Easy to limb with a grapple...

View attachment 59327 Thought I'd start a thread on trees you've cut and what saw you used to do the job. This was a 3 foot 150+ yr old red maple I cut at my uncles house, it was too close to his fence/house and was pretty easy to drop however. I pre cut a smaller sycamore so it when bigger maple fell it would break out of the way. Used a 576xp and 372 to cut it down.

You sure that is Red Maple? Looks like Norway Maple to me based on the bark. Norway is almost as hard as Sugar Maple and is very hard to split. Red Maple usually has a smoother bark, is softer, and easier to split.
