LOL, the only football team I watch is these guys

I'd rather chew nails and watch paint dry than watch the Dallas Cowboys.

Not to many years I get to say this, but GO pokes,

You have absolutely NO reason to appologize. If those were available in the US (and specifically California), then that's what I'd be driving. REAL diesel. Solid axles. Manual transmission. A compact pickup built like a real truck. You have to go with a full size to get anywhere near that here.........dammit...

There is some ####head that drives by my place that has 4" straight pipes on his dodge. Bet it the only time it gets on the gravel.

Wanna bet he has a BIG cowboy hat as well?

And probably has a set of those fake bull nuts hanging from the trailer hitch.

I always kind of feel bad when I start this in front of the motel in the morning. I don't wear a cowboy hat.....and it does go off pavement a bit........not by choice either.

I'm going to guess there are glasspacks on that.

I bet it still isn't as loud as junior's 4" straight pipe off the Cummins.

Those cummins are a tad noisy if you get rid of the cat......one of my cutting partners runs that set-up......my wife hates it when he picks me up at the house in the morning.

Sam, How do you have those saws locked up? I've seen pics of your truck like that many times, just wondering...

The minute I put the name of my buisness on the side of my truck, I pictured my saw box being brutally ravaged. I've got two padlocks on it to make the ####ers work at it.

I copied mine from Sam's, it's a little different tho, basically a Spruce log sandwiched between 2 peices of angle iron with the chain lag bolted through the angle into the log and the corners of the bolts ground off and a padlock connection

My spare is wrapped to the saw rack with a log chain, I run a high end bike cable through the saws and use a masterlock commercial grade to lock the cable through both sides of the log chain. They'll have to work for them. And the dog will let me know shortly.

I hear ya on putting your biz name on the truck. Between the saw rack and the MLA plates, I get plenty of nasty notes. No vandalisim yet, but the last two pickups took some depreciation from "enlightened (uneducated/ignorant/hippie pieces of ####) do-gooders". I am fairly carefull of where I park this one. I've grown kind of partial to it.

This is why despite the #### i get from industry folks around here, living in town is way quieter than where I was in the "country" before. 499 of the 500 ####ers living furtherupthatholler ran #### like that and/or mudders that you could hear coming for 1 1/2 miles. bear at the house too, believe it or not. Stars aren't as good, but my little one can sleep through light pollution, not sound pollution. Course I was on the main road. Sam, loud is one thing, built to be loud a bit of another.

wife drives a tdi. I said "runs" but I don't think she "runs" it, I think she"drives" it.

 

[bitzer]

Thats a good idea. The box I built forces me to break my saws down at the end of the day. A compartment for each head and a narrow long one for bars. The rest of the box holds my tools and the rest of the #### I drag around.

I've gotten some looks from hippie types, but nothing serious. I think the "timber harvesting specialist," as my company's description might throw em off a bit. One lady stopped and looked at my "timber a renewable resource," sticker on my bumper for a while when I was parked at walmart. She defenitely stunk of patchoulie. Hopefully got her to think a little. Thanks Bob!

The funny thing is when you mention logging around here (that is if they can differentiate that from a tree service) I hear, "slective cutting right?" and then "good, thats good!" One of these times I'm just going to tell em all I do is clear cut in order to make way for the strip mine thats coming in.

Sam- you got those whiskies ready yet?

Sadly, mine was built to be loud. The way it came as I bought it. Still, quiet by Montana standards.

Those TDI's are nice little rigs. The wife's Suby is ####ting the bed.....

If the coffee's not on, the whiskey is. Been doing a cutter select deal for a while. They want lots of leave trees. Ground is steep and frozen. Wind blows hard up the hill. Cut trees skip down the hill upright, untill they hit a leave tree and swap ends on you. No footing, just gotta run at them when they end swap and pick a side to dodge it on.

Good ground for a clearcut.

My buddy the up the road has one damn similar to yours. Was a fire chief's truck, still has the hidden lights in the grill, flashers all around. so driving home after one too many you have to chose slow and careful, or full light system and hit it hard. Heck of a nice truck.

We don't mind the noise if its ours or a friend's anyhow, biased that way.

Bob, I got a huge banged to #### keep the honest honest box from tractor supply, no way it'd ever fit cross ways on anything but a flatbed. I think I paid about $120 for it, but not till I made them let me take it to the back of the store and beat the #### out of it to see if I'd be able to get it to work from the not square shape it was in- damaged unloading I guess. WOrks like a champ now. I'll post some pics. 3 powerheads, one I keep the 34" bar on (my daily saw), a box of saw parts, a box of chains, my tool belt, a box of bs I don't know why I haul around, everthing but the clothes and petrol products.

Thats one thing we need to discuss. EVERYTHING to save a minute here and there (i.e disassembling saws needlessly) Thats logging.

I'd take 42 mpg for another 1/4" of ground clearance! That'd make a whole inch.

 

[OregonSawyer]

Having owned two Cummins' previously I can really appreciate the rattle and snarl of a nicely built 24V as well as the power of the newer 5.9 common rail's. Now being the poor, commuting, diesel loving college student that I am I can appreciate the 45 mpg that I now get with my VW Golf TDI. :msp_thumbsup:

I get what you mean by every minute. Thats what it is. A race against time. The money is just standing there its a matter of how long its going to take to get it out. Anything I can do in the dark I do. Daylight is go time. Parts on hand. Downtime is a killer. The saw I've used for the day doesn't get broken down until after all the kids are in bed and its time to sharpen. You're right though. Every minute. Saving time... I've kind of flip flopped on bar length lately. I used to run longer, but am now tending shorter. The rest of the stand I'm in is little ####. Next week I'll be in some better timber. I'll have to run a 32" all day and see how it feels. Makin all the felling cuts from one kneeling postion sounds pretty good to me.
