I decided to have two 129' cedar trees removed as they have been dropping huge branches onto my cabin's rooftop. Tree guys (all climbers) charged me $1400 and had both trees down by the end of the day. Lots of rigging and climbing work on their part. No bucket truck was used due to proximity to power line and closeness of cabin and neighboring cabin. I can't say enough about the respect I have for their work ethic, skills and abilities. It was truly a sight to behold. It took me 5 solid days to buck and split the rounds. I still have a day or two left to finish up the larger limbs.
Ran about 6 tanks through the MS440 and it's a beast! The 039 left me disappointed, as it was bogging down terribly in only 12" cedar w / 25" bar. I just couldn't get the dang thing to tune right. I'm getting a tach from Bailey's after the holiday. I think I'm just too worried about burning it up and kept it too "fat". Didn't have a single problem tuning the 440. Ripped through rounds even without "ripping" chain. Noodles everywhere!Grinned ear to ear the entire time, even after 5 days of humping really heavy, large rounds and split wood.
The only tree left standing when I arrived.
My log splitting rig.
A pic of the "landing", urban style.
Stump pic with my MS440 w/ 32" bar.
About 1/4 of the wood stacked against side fence.
