North East Tennessee MAC Report
Beautiful evening in North East Tennessee, especially nice when there is a little MAC action for Blind Squirrel Falling. I cut for a little over an hour with an off-brand before I reached a MAC worthy tree. Little free advice, when you tell yourself a chain is sharp enough to do, it probably isn't. PM800 literally chewed it way through the red oak below. The root pull is one consequence of not cutting fast enough; fortunately, it didn't take my MAC for a ride.
The MAC tree is the larger red oak in the center - about 40" dbh. Several 18" to 24" red oaks put on the ground with the off-brand. The 30" red oak in the foreground I cut some weeks ago with the 800.
The MAC tree - it will make a lot of firewood.
Saw was moved - so don't scratch a hole in your head trying to fit the above picture with this one.
There is no way my little Deere is going to pick up log lengths of this tree.
About six or so this size left to be cut. I will take care of that chain in the meantime.
Be safe,
Ron
