[LonestarStihl]

He is fun to watch. And makes his job look fun. I wouldn't mind doing it on the side some. I have helped some friends of ours take down some trees

 

[Boomer 87]

I want to get into that, starting with firewood selling. I need to learn more about felling.

 

[Boomer 87]

Anybody got anything on the bench or under the knife?

I've been getting decent at my felling but don't want to get too proud. I put a tree in my back yard area right through an open gate. It was beautiful. But don't ask me to do it again lol.

Planning on putting some money down hopefully on a saw that'll be next on the bench this week hopefully. Near the end or beginning of next [emoji56]

I love this story, and my newest axe just went under the knife some what, epoxies the head and put a wrist strap on it as this one is gonna get used and abused

..........Well first i was out cutting alone, nobody do that please. I was using my 028 super to fall a tree in a low area, tried to make it fall a certain direction. It heeled back and pinched my saw. So i took the powerhead off and left the bar in the tree. Grabbed the poulan pro 375 to free it and got it pinched, i have no wedges mind you. So i grabbed a third saw and felled it thinking when it falls ill reach down and grab the 375..... stuff happens way to fast i saw the trunk bounce up and land right on top of the 375. And bent the stihl bar that was in the tree already. However i fixed the Poulan up for less than the cost of a replacement stihl bar.

Wow a three saw tree! That's impressive! So it only came down to one bar at least right?
