Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[Stihlman441]

Yep still cutting wood,this is the end of that large tree from Monday we ended up with 16 mtrs from it.Finished today blocking,noodling,splitting and delivering.:smile2:
Using the 880 to noodle 2 foot thick blocks,:msp_thumbup:

On the move

Big piles of Redgum woodchips kick ass.

 

[Stihlman441]

MAAATTEE, come on, just chuck a few chunks of dead logs at the base, light er up like some of your other photos and Bobs yer uncle, she will be dead in no time, or look like it.
Then get the 880 into it.
No probs , just think outside the square mate

There is some truth in that.
I have seen around here in the crop paddocks they push all the fallen branches up under the trees,then when they burn the stubble yep the tree catches fire and thats it.Next year they dont have to go around it with boom sprays or seeders,ect.:msp_sad:

Before and after pics or stump after 4 days of burning.

Just means you're not trying hard enough

One set of tyres I run are Simex centipedes.... Aka nature rapers. They are very agricultural if you haven't seen them, and even locked, I dropped them to about 14psi to get up a black soil hill towing a good ton and a bit of wood in the rain. Wasn't looking forward to a recovery if I didn't make it, as my mate in his defender chewed it up going first.

She'd be right up at maximum capacity, (legal), wouldn't she?

Sometimes a little bit over.

Sometimes a little bit over.

I had a feeling that may be the case

 

[Rudolf73]

I had a feeling that may be the case

But its a toyota so no worries :biggrin:

Nope, and I wasn't the first owner of this set of 35" either....

They'd look funny on a falcoon too. But saying that I know of a bloke who fitted some 29" dia centipedes to a iO Pajero.... With a lift. That looked funny

Actually here's some pics from the trip: just pick through the report or read it all.... Osterley – Sep 2012 | 4WD'ing – The family way

 

[Stihlman441]

Nice pics in there,i think the rum helped ya get up that hill.

 

[deepsouth]

Rum? What rum?

I only see the word run in that trip report, nor any black cans

I can say that both of us are big bundy drinkers..... And there would of been cans consumed with lunch, but not prior...... Too busy, then working too hard to get back to gravel led roads.
All this was on private property too....

 

[Stihlman441]

I saw bundy rum can.
