I always like to see a tidy falling job. This was one of those. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Yeah yeah I know its just a chipper and saws are more interesting and whatnot. I was more or less married to 3 of these things for 2 and half years, and still helping with this one. I wont go all geeky I promise...

Yup. The good ones always make it look easy.

View attachment 305144 This has been the bane of my existence since I have been down here, and the problem is still not resolved (which makes it not my problem once I leave here tomorrow). The knives are sharpened at different angles.. which is no good... And they are babbited at different heights, which is also no good. When dealing with tight tolerances (0.050) between the knives and whats called the anvil..... height differences between the knives can make things go *****BANG**** and lots of metal bits all over the place..... Sorry I'll shut up now....

Nicely done. When you have a gentle slope and long ground sometimes you can lay 'em out like that.

 

[HuskStihl]

part of the joy of private work is having the HO say yeah I could do it but...
or the misguided advice... can be entertaining at times... or just down right annoying and dangerous

Annoying and dangerous are both my middle names!:spiderman:

 

[HuskStihl]

randy tested my 660 against a 461 he did ,they were about neck and neck ,461 like 1 sec faster ,but he said could lean on the 660 more without a bog ,there's a thread somewhere with vid

It was good that it was neatly done and on fairly flat ground. It was part of the sale where the court decided on the logging system, and judges don't understand such things as lift and roman nosed ground. It had to be skyline logged. One day I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of tree scarring going on--the rigging crew had changed over due to jail time and attrition. THEY claimed it was the fallers who were scarring up the leave trees. I knew better but had to put on the appearance of checking it out so I had to wander out and about in the brush. Having it done so neatly just made the wallowing a bit easier to do.

Then I went back to the boss and had a talk...things got better on the yarding end.

the stuff i cut ,the fiber's aren't as hard as that stuff ,doug fir and cedar and alder mostly , the saw doesn't bog down as bad like that hard stuff Randy was cutting on ,he ported that 660 for tourque for milling ,so some rpm may have been sacrificed for pull,if you tell your builder how you are going to use your saw ,they can adjust the power in the timing #'s to do different things ,not all ported saws run the same when done
