    I want to be on Axe-men!

    Your already too smart. Those PNW guys cut down trees with outdated methods like they are still using crosscut saws and axes not chainsaws. And "good" TV only wants us to see the dumbest of the dumb so you have no chance with being from the NE and having a CA and actually knowing how to cut...

    clearing?

    Whole tree chipper or if it's piled ( which is stupid and a waste of time and fuel) I use a 65K# Link Belt excavator with a hyd thumb or rotating grapple to load a 14' Morbark tub grinder. Chips get blown into a 53' walking floor trailer. Then stumps get loaded into grinder and do the same...

    The GOL Video

    In "theory" it will not chair because it was borecut. Sometimes trees do what trees do. Borecut certainly minimizes chairs. He cut his way around the sides starting on the leaning side first, the safer side second. He made his step, release cut, trigger cut, whatever you want to call it last...

    Anyone set a tree down slowly with a rigging line and porta-wrap?

    I've done it a few times and it worked good. I've seen vids of Mark Chisolm do something similar with a GRCS but with a twist. He tensioned it, cut it off at the butt and it hung there, backed a tractor 3PTH under the butt and tied it fast, then drove the tracotor away to the chipper while...

    Wood lot management- ideas and suggestions needed.

    ANd don't forget the other 4 letter word "deer". If you got them in any sizeable population they are great at screwing up a perfectly good forest manegement plan. Local Forester is def the place to startas they will often have a good idea on DPSM and how that will effect future regen. PA is...

    Firewood Hauler Power Boost

    Not sure whats so funny or where your question is then? If it runs fine why do you need to mod it? You won't get that much for $250 to make a difference especially if your motors last tune up was 30K +miles ago or so. Be better off buyin beer and a cheap armchair and benchrace your mods. At...

    Firewood Hauler Power Boost

    Before you throw alot of effort and money into a tuner I hope you have considered the obvious stuff first like1) A full on tune up with OEM and not aftermarket parts,2) 60 psi doesn't nessescarily mean that a motor with 290K and ??? hours on it is prime for a tuner/ chip. You may be better...

    Who is responsible 4 tree?

    SO to clarify this.. If you still have 3 feet to get back to the trunk, then you have to leave 3 foot stubs because the property line is 3 feet from the trunk?

    Bucket Truck as a Crane ?

    The rope broke or didn't you read that? That was the action. And this was not 3rd hand info. The owner wasn't saying why it broke whether is was worn, kinked, underrated etc... and I wasn't asking.
