Here's the largest we ever did... Giant Sequoia Mid 2010. 158' tall, 32'6" ft at the ground in girth, 70 or more yards of chips, a whole bunch of branch wood that we chipped the next day, 6 man crew day one, prolly 3 on crane day. $5500 crane bill for about 5 picks, plus helping load the...

Do an all posts search for "Clearwater Revival" Ignore the first few pages about the great band CCR.... The early AS days were awesome, and the Revivals were super! I was there both years. I don't think the 2004 event happened, but there are some posts about it. Oldtimers will remember, and you...

A good neighbor just handed me a nice, almost like new Stihl 015 AVE. If there's any interest, I'll take pics and list it. Thought I would mention it here first, though. Old timers will remember me from the good old days. I know that I joined AS in 2001, so within a year of its inception, methinx.

Removal of two large poplar, plus a few "sprouts", which ranged from 10 inches in diameter to 20 and up to 70 feet tall or so. Day one produced two full loads of chips--about 36 yards... We will have Marilyn's Recycle pick the junky wood with their grapple truck.. and they can grab the butts, so...

Craning of a cedar, tall but small fir, and a behemoth--150 feet tall, which produced over 2600 board feet! About 1000 board feet more than I guessed. We dropped the butt log, with the self loader nudging it, to save crane time and due to the weight, which had to have been close to 10000 lb. It...

The Lake Quinault Redcedar, the world's largest, and the largest tree outside of California, has fallen. I visited it June 5 and it appears to have failed--to a 20 foot tall stump, sometime after July 7. See http://northcoastnews.com/…/quinault-big-cedar-has-fallen-t… It's failure has been...

Be sure to read the description, and look closely for the dicey parts, which actually were near disasters. Comments, ideas, questions are welcome.... But may I suggest that any cracks or unfounded criticism will not be ....in part because I doubt if anyone here has been working aloft for 41...

Apparently one of the parts I need isn't available from Stihl? Weird.... So, if anyone has a whole starter assembly, or just some parts, let me know...

The job was removing about 6 hazard Lombardy Poplars, after one had failed in a storm, 100-125 feet tall...and a birch, 80% dead of bronze birch borer, plus removal of the dead tops of two more birch. Crew of 4 plus Catrina for 5-6 hours.... we put in 10-12 hours on day one, and got the work 95%...

Partially uprooted, actually--a perfect fit for the GRCS --and chipper winch. I love hanging trees and cutting them off at the butt. This one was only about 18 inches on the butt and 60 feet tall.... And the Wraptor powered ascender made for an effortless ascent into the ivy covered cottonwood...

Redneck Loggin' in Shoreline, Wa. 3rd windstorm in less than 3 weeks.... Now maybe if it had been a Ford 4x4, it could have been driven off to the mill with the log...Ya think?? View on YT, HD and full screen

We (Westside Tree Care and Barnett Tree Care) had removed several pine above this spruce, that also were weak rooted. This changed the water runoff patterns, and had caused some minor flooding. Anyhow, before yesterday's storm, Pat was called out to look at the tree, which exhibited some minor...

But $3700 AUD? No thanks....Hey, it includes the GST!! http://www.hurseirons.com/iron-maintenance

Had a log roll over onto my 357 today. Need the trigger and all parts as well. Not sure the handle which was deformed a bit and weakened, will hold the parts and be workabe.....

Track hoe smashed a nice 660 yesterday. My fault for leaving it in bad place. Need clutch side crankcase, tank assembly, top handle, starter cover. And maybe a whole crankcase for another 660 that has bad bearings. Oiler and clutch parts for a 460....

With lots of cool trunk character, and big knots, the slabs will make for some nice live edge furniture. I'll probably have the new sawyer for www.urbanhardwoods.com make me a table, in trade for most of the slabs.... or sell some of them. Will sticker them and air dry for a couple years.... or...

They took up most of my Friday. I'd not be surprised if, between my Okatsune hand pruners, Corona loppers, Silky Zubat hand saw and pole saw, and Marvin pole pruner, I made over 1000 cuts---per tree...what a job! But they now look great. though almost totally lacking any interior foliage. I've...

These two Lombardy poplars were ~100-110 feet tall, and ~3 feet in diameter, so not overly huge,. But they were in a small back yard and over three other yards, so rigging was required. We were able to tip tie and lower the larger lower limbs and leads,, which is much easier than butt lowering...

Thanks, Mitch. Love the saw. I expect it will pick up a little more as it breaks in. We've only run about four tanks through it so far.

or parts saw, but only need the case.
