Never knocked one down, but I've tipped a few over In Alaska once or twice.

Up here we call them Kings because in Alaska. They are the are the Kings of all salmon.
I've caught a few myself.

Now your saying I'm not a conservative!!! What exactly is it? That makes you think you know me???

Keep your political BS out of this thread! Take it to P&R and take your weak a** sauce with it! 🤣🤣

Now, before you go any further.
You sure you wanna to ride this train?
Looks great!. It is funny how we all use a bit of different terminology. David made mentioned of "knocking one down". Here that term has zero to do with a saw. It means you knock it down with the crawler or EX and pile it up.

As for Salmon we theoretically have them in Illinois but not really as they are in Lake Michigan.
 
pix likes those confirm i do need a King AKA vaca and soon... lol 👍

whacked on some stumps myself other day, as a matter of fact. tree felling. banana trees! real POS, PITA SOBS at times. especially when 9-10" trunks are stuck between structures. full of sauce! they suck up water, fill those big cells... then whence it gets cold and freezes... all he** breaks loose on the thaw! (break up)

last pix is stump that had to be taken out in sev chunks and 1/2x 2/3" slices at a time. eventually, i won!!! :numberone:

cold :givebeer: FTW!~

Now that's some serious timber right there now!
 
Is this one big enough?
The tree that came off this stump. I tipped over last night after supper. Then had the family pose on it for a photo.View attachment 1060952
My Squaw didn't want me to cut it down but she said it was blocking the sun from her rock garden. Heck I don't.🤷 I just do what I'm told. Arguing with my Squaw is a fools errand.

Now, let me make this clear, so next time you show someone that picture of your friends "Staub". It will at least sound like you have a half ass clue as to what you are referencing. 🙄Even though you don't.
When a cut or sheared off trunk protrudes that far up out of the ground. It is no longer a tree nor is it a stump. It is a "Staub". A staub can be either sound or a rotten Snag.

Now, do you understand what a staub is?

P.S. Nice King you have there, because any King is a nice King!🤣


Nice family.

Bit of an over-reaction but what the heck.

Come visit in August and I'll take you out for a shot at a Tyee.

Just a hint though, don't use the word "Squaw" around here or you might get tuned up fairly quickly.

Only conservatives and anal orifices use that name these days,
Your choice as to what you identify as though, so feel free.


Take care.

There you go again. Acting like you know me or something. Good thing I have your permission to "feel free" to call my better half whatever you think I want to!🤣
If I myself call her anything but "My Squaw"? She herself tunes me up! That's our relationship. No matter anyway. I've been "tuned up" before. 😉

Over reacting? 🤣🤣🤣 I'd probably say that too after getting shut down hard.

Now then,
Im just gonna have to toss you back little fish. You ain't quite big enough fir the frying pan yet. Its a good thing too, because its obvious your gonna take the next train and pass on this one. Smart choice! A few other wolves ride this one as well.😉


Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!👍

I'm not sure if you're an Aspie, or you're intentionally being difficult?
 
Hows that cannon light bar?
I really like it. Definitely harder steel than Oregon. The aluminum insert is smaller than a STIHL light so its a little heavier vs a STIHL light of the same length. The one you see in the picture is a 28", but has the balance and feel really close to a STIHL 32" light bar if that makes any sense. I personally dont like too light of bar on a 90cc power saw. I've had to many close calls with the power to weight ratio working against me with to light of a bar and to much power, but that's just me and my opinion bud.
I ordered it out of Madsen's. Had I known there was going to be a saw bar shortage pandemic. 🤣 I would have bought two. Last I asked Madsen's They were out of stock. I have the oilers on all my 90's cranked open to full flow. Plus Im anal about keeping my rails clean on any of my bars, so ware on the Cannon has been very minimal. Its a great bar. Probably my favorite 28" I've ever owned.👍 Hope this helps MS.

Do you clean the rails often or every use?

So, I grind my chains. In a production setting. I swap out about three chains a day in a six hour work day. Every time I swap a chain out or any other time I take the bar off the head. I clear the rails. Been doing it fir so long, it's like second nature to me. Take the bar off. Clear the rails. Take the bar off. Clear the rails. If I'm hand filling and not swaping dull ground chains to fresh. The chain seldom needs to come off other than to clear the waste build up in the rails. Under these circumstances. I clear the rails once a day at the end of every six hour work day. Dose this all make any sense LW? I try to explain things best I can bud.

Thanks that does help, I'm also pretty religious about cleaning the rails.

Roger that. It's better for everything in my opinion. Bar, chain and head. If the oil can't flow down the bar. Then not only are you not getting lubricant to your metal on metal. Your whole assembly under the cover plate gets saturated in oil and then caked in waste. It can eventually lead to restricted or abnormal waste flow. The cover plate already needs often cleaning without getting saturated in oil!
