These posts can last 20-30yrs, and heard of some lasting 70+ yrs.
What species of timber were you using, if you don't mind me asking? Bloody impressive effort to knock the posts out in 5 minutes. Respect!
Thanks mate, these guys have been racing for years and it has been a privledge to race against them.
The posts are Narrowleaf Ironbark, it is the species of choice in SE qld.

Nice to see some big Huskies getting a run. Is there anything like a 'standard' setup these guys are using? The bars look pretty short for the size of the powerhead, but I can understand why.

I'm wonderin' about the abbrieviations. NSW QLD what is all that? What are the organizations?
And big Stihls. And they seem like they have some older saws in there , too.
Hey Man, tell Charlie Watkins we are luvin' it here in the USA. I had no idea there was so many guys from Australia on ArboristSite. We don't get to learn that much about Australia where I'm from. So we really appreciate you guys dropping in. Post any thing you have here on the sport or chainsaws or you can even put pictures of your sister. We're flexible.
