Got one down the other day saved out to 200’ but was pretty much all junk thanks to rot and stain. We’re getting down there on the big oversized with the age it’s getting past it’s prime.

I was too worried about not getting my nephew killed, or taking out the power to 1/4 of the county.

Just a slight technicality...
First tree with the new 390?
Got a new saw, eh?
Is the bar getting smaller these days? ...thinking like a 28..32?
Very nice to see you younger man.
How's tricks, my friend?

Haha...I'd bet you can "book it" hard, if need be.
the problem is once all this himbo is moving... getting it stopped without running into a stump... usually involves aiming for a soft spot and trying to roll gracefully.
Me: I guess I can leave this hoe here the tree has plenty of lean in the opposite direction I'm sure this will go fine
Wind: Hold my beer...
No damage done except a smashed handrail that was already smashed. Extremely irresponsible mistake on my part, definitely a major ego check

Glad you didn't get hurt. Ron
**** happens, it’s no big deal. Iron can get fixed, when you’re Flat Stanleyd is NFG. Those big deciduous trees catch wind like no other too.
Some maple and more Ash, felling with 500i and bucking with 2171. 500 square and 2171 took the rakers down lots. Need to get the saw up to speed before hitting the wood, hold on tight it pulls like a freight train. Used a piece of the face cut in the right side of the notch to swing the las tree hard to keep it out of the maple.
Left handed saw or you flipped the picture?
selfie mode, broke my normal camera a few months ago, haven't had time to get it fixed/replaced
that tis a goofy lookin pic innit
Congrats. I would have to stack two to make that length. Diameter is big even for our huge oaks. 85’ to 100’ and 30” are whoopers to me.
Yesterday, I was drooling over Logger Nate’s video.

This has some good old time stuff that still applies today. Check about 14:25 for a big snag shedding it's bark. I've seen that happen and if you're double jacking get it clear with your partner which way you're both going to run. That way you don't run into each other, fall down, and wind up wearing the tree.
That bark shedding was a sight to behold.

Watching video like that makes me appreciate breaking in when I did even more. Damn impressive wood, and more impressive effort put forth.
