LOL, I beginning to believe that. I would have got all the limbs on the elm tree if the 250 would have run. I was too sore to limb with the 460. As you seen they all have to be cut overhead. Also you remember that lady that ask me to cut a tree in her yard yesterday. Well her son ask me again today, It was right behind where we were. It was only a trunk about ten feet long. I cut it today too. Not a big tree either.
So that's what was wrong with everything.:hmm3grin2orange:Didn't you know it's International Jonsered Day.

There's nothing that sucks more than when you just want to get the job done at hand and the darn machinery just wants to cause trouble. Especially on certain jobs.:bang:
Went back for the elm today, Got one and a half load of limbs. Had to think about each limb as it was entangled in another tree and think about which way it was gonna go.

What it looks like now, I knew the stump was gonna set back up from the massive root ball, So i cut it back close so i wouldn't have to fell it again. Sure enough it set up and throwed stinky water 50 feet. The trunk also landed kinda in the ditch. I will winch it out but not today. Both saws got dull and i was ready to come home.lol
That elm looks like it's almost certainly gonna stand back up, right, after you cut a bit more off the trunk.
Don't get hurt dude.
Nice way to spend a day off, even if you did work like a dog.
Nevermind, you put up the pics while I was typing...lol

What the pile looks like now, I need to split it.
It stood up, and fast too.lol It was funny to watch the water fly. The root hole was full of water.That elm looks like it's almost certainly gonna stand back up, right, after you cut a bit more off the trunk.

Darn nice stack there.That oak is heavy like stump wood and should burn a long time. I wonder if its because of the massive weight of that monster. Hope you can let it season untill 12-13 or at least some of it. Anyway, nice score on the elm today.What the pile looks like now, I need to split it.

You need a grinder. So do I. Was just looking on amazon, and for some reason you can't have tools shipped to canada ??
I just want a cheap one for when I really mess up a chain. I sort of enjoy hand filing.
I have one i won at the first GTG. Think i'll get that dude out and use it tommorrow. I keep thinking i'm gonna build a stand for it but haven't yet. Now is the time to use it.
