No I didnt buy one of there rifles. I thought the bore on my 50 bmg I had was big. I dont know what the balistics on the bulelt in the video are but it dont look like it has much room for alot of powder. I am thinking its a pretty slow round.

he said 2100 ftps

 

[2treeornot2tree]

I didnt watch it with the sound on it. 2100 fps isnt that fast. Might get 500 yds outta it. I am sure the BC isnt that great. I have my 1000 yd f class 6.5x284 norma screaming at 3300 fps. I had to call sierra and get the max do not exceed loads from them to get it there.

Got my package this am instead of afternoon. Its cold out and suppose to be mid 50 the next two days so gonna post pone the fenders. I have been playing with whipping my rope splices. Here is the first one I did. What you think.

 

[TreeAce]

I think the whipping looks good. But that video gave me an idea. I need to bust out some guns and go shooting. I have been in a really bad mood lately and I bet a couple hundred rounds through the AK and maybe 100 through my HK USP for good measure would be just the ticket. I did get a call today for an estimate. Except its 50 minutes away. guy wants a price to trim his silver maple. I am sure its not worth looking at. I have work right here but its still so dam wet......Every where I go people are saying how great the weather is, OH BOY ITS SO WARM YYAAAAAA!!!, personally I wish it would freeze up (or dry out) Did I mention I have been in a terrible mood lately?.....:msp_mad:

 

[superjunior]

man your getting really good at that. looks awesome

 

[tree MDS]

Back at it finally today after 3 weeks off to nurse the problem I've had with my knee... seems pretty good so far, but I've just been doing bucket work. It's not right yet, but I'm not gonna rush it, so still going easy on it.

Nice gig tomorrow and the next day, all bucket takedowns off a dirt driveway right here in town, wood stays. should be a fun one, a couple decent sized trees in the mix too. Good way to get back into it!

 

[tree md]

C60. No power steering. Heater works all the time.

Yeah, mine was a C65. Power steering worked and the heater worked all the time as well. Had a 454, Holley 4 barrel in it. Gas hog. I think I got 6-8 MPG with it... Maybe less pulling the Bandit 90.

Missed judged on this bid

Man this tree was tall. A young Cottonwood, one of 4 I have to remove. Looked pretty easy on the ground judging the small diameter and not many branches but when I got fully extended I was only just past half. They built the house in a woods so there were no limbs for the first 40'. Needless to say I was right on the tree, fully extended cutting out of the bucket with my powered pole pruner fully extended cutting[] above me. I was scared S***LESS. Took my time and thought everything out 4X and would look again. Everything went as planned but I will never take a small diameter tree for granted again! This tree was on a fence and 20' from house so had to be on my game. Tomorrow will be much easier, can get them from the drive and really no obstacles. Maybe I should go to climbing school, would not have been as hard to reach!

Maybe you should spend a bit of time in the 101 forum and you can figure out how to get that bad mamma jamma down. Owning a bucket is no excuse for not knowing how to climb. And not knowing how to rig from a bucket is not knowing how to run one. Polesawing above the front of your truck?!?, you wouldn't last a day on my crew with yo flip floppin branches falling inches from MY headlights.

 

[superjunior]

Got my custom made exhaust welded together and mounted. Back into the trees tomorrow, got a whole day of trimming and the weather is gonna be nice

I absolutely love doing trees like that. You can tip tie one whole fork and lower the whole thing off of the other one. Those are the fun ones. Can't say I've ever done one like that in a bucket tho. My bucket experience is limited.

Agreed, Quit my fulltime job an hour ago. For the past five years climbed five days a week with three sick days and about 3 weeks of vaca in that time. Looking forward to getting my post count in thousands, a beer gut, and an even bigger ego. I figure tree mds is about to be perma banned ,someones gotta fill his litttle shoes.

Can't see the rigging very well, everything was lowered about 10' in front of truck, no flipping, no damage, tree is in my pile and I made it to my daughters first Jr. High b-ball game on time. Took 4 hrs. To put tree on the truck but thought I would have 2 trees done today. Lady would not let me start till 10am, loading logs by 2.
