Iowa Fall 2012 GTG

[ancy]

Don't dump it on Nathans drive way. It will take out the house. All down hill. If you wait till Sunday afternoon I can take it to Nathans. I am 15 to 20 miles east of Redfield. I can trailer about 4 of those big logs.

Wished it was in Redfield but it is in Caroll:msp_sad:

Some logs are loaded.

Well I got 2 big locust for the Dolmars, 2 medium soft maples for the Stihls, 2 small ash limbs for the Huskys, and 1 red cedar for smells. Figured this should level the playing field a bit for the 6th!

Turn it, roll it down the hill, and hope it hits the ramp on Nathan's trailer! Might be hard to stop once it starts moving?

I needed a new tandem axle trailer anyway... :hmm3grin2orange:

Seriously though the plan is to trade my single axle 3500# doolittle trailer for his tandem in Redfield and then he'll bring my doolittle back with the oak log on it... Who thinks the doolittle 3500# trailer will handle the load of that OAK???

I'm working on a local farmer to let me get some 20in-30in (ish) logs from his place... That should cover the medium ground.

I just found this log calculator online. I used 54in, 54in, 5ft and got around 5K lbs... looks like a no go to me...

The correct math equation was used but you used the diameter not radious squared. Its 3.1416*27(2)*60= your answer is in inches divide it down to get your answer in feet.

This is what i used with the diameter and length ancy provided us...

I think I am in to make it to the GTG. I just picked up a Jonsered 2150 and it is all good but has the muffler falls off issue. I have not found dealers in this area that know anything and I am looking for someone that will be at the GTG that may have the best inserts for fixing the threads on this jug. I am sure after seeing the other saws of this type run all modified i will have to pull the jug and do something to this one. The MM of the muffler falling off is not quite what I have in mind. That open exhaust does really help it breath thou...

Give mike (homelite410) a shout... He has been doing some inserts that have lasted. He'll be able to tell ya what insert to use.

Bump

 

[ancy]

Well I got the logs to Nathan with a few bumps along the way, but soulds like they made it safe! What are we thinking for milling? I had a straight piece of red cedar and real nice straight piece of locust(anyone ever seen milled locust?).. Nathan did one hell of a job out at Redfield, cleaning up a little brush covered white pine while the wives, kids, and me watched!! We might have to pitch in for a new pair of shorts though...LOL!

I got it right here... I even have a new fuel line for it since mitch told me it needed one! :msp_thumbsup:

Yes the logs made it here safe and Doug said he has a few more for me too... Just need to figure a way to load those trucks now... I suppose I could load it like Andy was going to load that oak chunk... Push it down a hill and hope it hits the trailer...

Spent the majority of the last few weekends cleaning up the acreage and making room for the GTG... Mike is already counting down the days...??? Don't know if that makes me worried or excited... :msp_confused: Speaking of which I might want to reserve a porta potty!

You got a ATV and a winch?

If you look at my trailer there is a spot up front to clevis a snatch block and winch them up from the side. I could draw a picture if you want?
