RPM where is that operation that logging truck looks familliar it looks like a Radar truck.

Bunchers and Processors won't completely eliminate handfalling,limbing and bucking. The terrian and size of wood limits what a buncher can chop down and what a dangle head can process. The HTH 626 can handle up to a 34 inch diameter tree the other popular HTH 624 can handle a 30 inch diameter...

Couldn't you have taken a Madill Buncher to drop that tree and brought in the Waratah 628 tree processor to limb it and chunk it :laugh: You don't see many fir that size anymore your going to have the tree huggers mad at you :cry: What are or were they hauling with ? HDX off highways ...

Pretty well 440 Stilhl 372XP Husky is the smallest saw that skip tooth chain is used as both these saws rarely run a bar shorter than a 28 you may see a 24 on a 440 but that is fairly odd. When your cutting soft wood the full skip works the best. Some bigger saws used for shake block cutting...

I have 460 Dogs on my little 260 :laugh: You need Dogs when your cutting and falling Fir trees even Western Red Cedars it helps. The my old mans 051 with a 30 inch bar and 404 Chain bucking into a 48 inch diameter fir log you need good Dogs. You lean into it the old saw throws the chips...

Radient floor heat is supposed to be really nice.

Like they say firewood warms you up 4 times cutting it, splitting it,stacking it and burning it.

High pressurized water can cut anything but a saw still cuts wood better :cheers:

Most people have a small generator it will run the feeder and it also runs some lights in the house but won't run the electric baseboards. Its easier to walk over to the wall and turn up the thermostat the electricity is cheap :D

The 044-440 was never really a big seller in my community which is mostly forestry town. When the 046-460 came out the loggers and fallers bought them and still buy them for the lighter jobs and the 066-660 are used for production falling. You don't find anything less than a 28" bar on a saw...

At the one sawmill I worked at all the logs were powerwashed. If its sand your dealing with then a powerwasher will work but if its embedded stones you can see then you need to use a axe and chop off the bark. Allot of work and usually not worth it. For me if the wood has been skidded I won't...

When I was in the wood business it was back in close to the spot I can and dump it off. No stacking firewood for me you can't pay me enough to stack firewood. I don't even bother selling wood anymore its not worth it. For the amount of work involved and the gov't wants their stumpage fee's off...

Without pictures to see what you got to deal with its hard to give a answer. It sounds like a job for a crane and take it down in pieces its the safest way. You can use a hoe to pull but you still have no real controll over the tree. My parents neighbours property had a couple 36" at the butt...

If your going to use the hemlock paint it good with a oil base paint because just like the tree you chopped down Hemlock rots.

A regular 1 ton has a payload capacity max 5000lbs and thats pushing your luck. With a chip box I would say your capacity will be no more than 4000lbs. A 1 ton has no braking power you get them loaded up they can't stop. I have had regular 1 tons you can beef the springs up to carry a good...

Find a truck with L-10 or M-11 Cummins power then you never have to worry about lack of power plus you can get a JAKE brake to assist in braking as single axle dump trucks lack braking power. The 7.8 Ford is only good for 240hp push them more than that they don't like it. A 8.3 Cummins is a...

I have cut enough hemlock and let me tell you I hate it :bang: With Hemlock you gotta sticker it right away or it does twist also Hemlock molds up fast so never leave cut wet boards together. Your stickers should be dry too. Sticker'd a bunch of hemlock 2x4s for a guy I told him to use...

I didn't think it was that much to be a certified faller now :jawdrop: Myself I only fall for my own use I don't think I would want to be a faller even if the money is good. I know a few fallers and the stories of living in camps. West Coast Fallers have always been paid good.

Holy crap thats the cleanest Kenworth logger I have ever seen :laugh: The safety rules now for logging is so strict here in B.C. guys have to go for training and certification courses on a regular basis. West Coast Fallers have to be certified and pass a exam. Would I want a job in the...

I'am on the Coast :) The pictures are from a webite they are close to my area they are West Coast Logging.
