Trees you've cut

[sawmikaze]

I always figured if I did this I would start some sort of 100 year underground fire like Centralia, PA

I took a ride there a few years ago, it's wild.

This one didn't ignite.
Climbed it and rigged out the tops to avoid damaging a copper beech that the landowner said was sentimental to her. Apparently she scattered her father's and her dead dogs ashes over it.
There were also 10-20 lines I didn't want to hit. I flattened an abc cable last week, didn't want a repeat performance.

We did a big enough job this week clearing up 3 or 4 storm blown spruce trees and felling another 13.
We were averaging 20 minutes a tree between felling, cutting into firewood and chipping. Some of the bigger ones took longer.






This one was about the biggest






This was the area of ground where the trees were after we were done.





The big pile of firewood the customer is left with.






There was a strong side wind on the last day, maybe 30mph with stronger gusts at times. It made felling the last couple of trees a bit awkward but they didn't fall too far from where I aimed them. Spruce is such a strong, flexible timber. If it had been beech or sycamore I wouldn't have stood a chance of getting them to fall where I wanted in that wind.

Didn’t think it would be too bad, half a day. Haven’t done a thing since.

They always build the fence THEN want rid of the tree.

Yeah but I think in this case the tree got sickly

What mac is that? Love those old saws

That is a pro mac 800 cylinder wearing a super pro 81 tank, clutch cover and handle. Just got it working right as it had a slowly failing coil that had me confused for a while.

Took down this big ugly cypress tree if some description last week.
Someone said it could be an oversize Italian cypress, any ideas?






Anyway, 394xp got to stretch its legs a bit.






We moved all the timber into a little garden shed for them. There's not much room left in there now.

Big decayed ash this morning. Bad case of ash die back. Right beside a main road.
Got the pull rope into the tree yesterday evening and felled it this morning at 0600 before any traffic was on the road.





394xp made mince meat of it.





Used this old deutz 120 to pull it. Serious bit of kit.






Fcuk ton of timber in this tree. We got done chipping and cutting firewood at 1200

Interesting heartwood on that one, we rarely see that in white ash here.
Also, glad to see the Deutz in the 3rd pic, saw the smallish van and rope in the 1st one and thought you were being perhaps a bit optimistic!
Pretty work
