660+36"+oak tree+PICS=good times!!

cut this Pin oak today..i looked at it in the dark one night...and really couldn't remember how big it was...cut i knew it was decent. i could have cut it with a 24" but then i knew i wouldn't have been able to block it up...so on went the 36" the last time i ran this bar it was on my ported BB..but the one isn't performing up to snuff right now..so it went on the mostly stock 660..and i was really surpised at how well this thing pulled it..and now for the pics

the gf was behind the camera...she really gets into this picture thing!!

As usual, great pics! Thanks for sharing. Those pin oaks always scare me because they are usually rotten in the middle. Great work getting that big beast down safely.

wow...didnt' realize there were that many pics...im sure that might cause a problem for the dial-uppers

yea..this one was a little a shade under 5' on the stump...but it would have been around another foot bigger if the outside hadn't been rotten..as you can see there was a railroad track not to far way(closer than what it looks) and then there were some other trees that i didn't wanna hurt...wasn't bad....had quite a bit of room actually..this one had a limb hung-up in the top(widowmaker if you wish) that was prolly 12' long and 10" in diameter....that would have been a headache!!

no offense taken...what do you mean by missed my stumpshot and took the back cut in a little low? i cut the face...bored in(on the far side from where teh pics were taken and left the "ear" and motored all the way around the tree..to swing it away from the railroad track where it wanted to go....if you looked at the stump it was level flat....there isn't any good pics that show it as level...the angles aren't right. the second from last pic kinda shows it...the facecut and backcut were level to eachother.

well it is kind of a bore cut..the tree wanted to go for the railroad tracks...so i cut the face and bored in to and left the "ear" so that the tree wouldn't set down on the saw...and then just walked around the tree so that it would swing it next to the tracks...

h*ll there aint to need for apoligizing!!!! need somebody looking out for my hide sometimes
