Hey dumb questionfor ya guys.....anybody swinging through eastern Nebraska on the way down?

I'll be there. Only a 30 min drive for me, so really no excuse not to come.

For all not aware, there is a very controversial speed trap in Oak Ridge to be aware of. It's a camera setup on Hwy 62 (N. Illinois at Robertsville Rd), between Oak Ridge and Oliver Springs. Especially be cautious going back down the long hill to Oak Ridge from Oliver Springs, or you will be contributing to Oak Ridge's cash cow.

They must have cameras all over the place since they have taken in millions of dollars with their cameras. The Oak Ridge residents haven't been able to get the cameras out despite strenuous efforts. The camera companies kick back something like 20% to the city. The camera contract must be as lucrative as a casino license. The contract must be for the lifetime of the city, since they seem to be stuck with it. The Tennessee legislature reined in the companies by limiting some of their abusive practices, and the company in Knoxville filed a lawsuit against the city because something like 70% of their "shakedown" revenue stream was trimmed.

An onery kid with a pellet gun would come in handy.

Yeah Will, they are a little loud in stock form as well. Same for the 555

 

[Hedgerow]

The saw was good and all...
But that tree was awesome!!!
Just bustin yer nutz Terry... I just wish I had trees like that around here...
All I got is junk...:msp_thumbdn:
The 562 is a freaking sweet saw....
Fuel economy update???

 

[tlandrum]

hedgerow that saw gets about 8 trees that size dropped and topped. that red oak was a good tie log size tree but is too small for me to send as a grade log. trees that size just arent worth much right now. ties are about all thats moving good. when you have really nice grade timber you dont get paid what its worth right now.

Thanks for the reply Paul, I've never run one, just looked at one at the saw shop. The saw looks pretty sweet though!!

When I see that tree, I see a hundred dollars worth of easy splitting firewood!!!
Not sure what the ties are worth...
More per hour, I'm sure...

Can we lay hands on that saw at the GTG? If so, I have to bring my bone stock 440 to go back and forth with it. I am scared of what the results will be though. :msp_mad: Lets see, it's lighter, faster, gets better economy......but dang it's ugly, reminds me of something a junior high kid would draw for a space ship.

Just wondering, but what does a single axle load of hardwood logs(similar in type to what you cut) go for in your area? ALL of those type of logs go to the mill around here, firewood loads have low grade sections, but more than adequate for what they are used for.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think you guys were a bunch of gay, Brokeback Mountain loggers:msp_ohmy:
