Yep, Mike is one of the greats. Ironic bringing him into this now, the last 880 he did was nice!

My CFB Hyrbid is Black and bad A$$!!! Nice Saw!

Just a few pictures from the last few days. We are cutting the areas where they are not going to tether with a machine.

Heli logging?

Heli logging?

It is going to be yarder logged. Everything that we don’t hand-fall will be fell using a tethered feller-buncher. They have a winch and cable used to provide traction assist to the buncher basically.

What size trees can the buncher cut? The harvesters they use here dont cut anything bigger than 3 feet. Normally they dont cut anything over 2 feet tbh.

I don’t get to post in here much...don’t take too many trees down. Today we knocked down 2 of these. 1 had another twin growing with it and the other one had 4 that had to be taken separately. Like a slacker I only got the 1 pic. One of the stems was a little bigger than this one. 28” bar on an xS2175

Bottom 10’ or so is hollow. First time I’ve dropped a hollow tree. A bit unnerving when you bore through 6” of tree followed by 2’ of black dirt

It really depends on the felling head, the operator, overall height and weight of the tree, and of course slope and terrain. I’ve seen them cut some good sized trees, but their safe, productive limit would probably be not much more than the machines in your area.

I have seen videos of harvesters cutting bigger trees in Scandinavia but tbh it looked like you could do it as fast with a saw.

Some very intense falling...not

I'm sure glad @CLEARCUT fell this.
Several gallons of pitch oozed out of the face cut (it is the pitch burning off the exhaust)

 

[CLEARCUT]

Yeah, I took the saw home and cleaned it a bit. It got a bunch of pitch in the flywheel. It was just a slurry at one point coming out of the kerf. The saw didn’t want to restart very well after that tree. It got all over the ignition area, and I believe that is why it was hard starting. We’ll found out today.

Oh, and the starter was sticking after that “sticky” situation.
