tulip is pullin bad now, it slicker than wet ice. i let this weeks lay 5 days before topping, it helps alot but still must handle gently. of course they are not pulp lol.That's nice stuff! The bark is slipping pretty bad now though. Watch your step.
Popple and basswood tops stay in the woods. The firewood guys don't want it and the pulp mill won't take it.bitz i thought you pulped out the tops?
Yeah I could see that in thick bark. Our thick bark trees like bur oak don't seem to slip so bad. About half the logs I have on the landing right now are peeled. I should get extra for that!Come out here when the Doug fir bark starts slipping even with corks on the big 2nd growth you go for a ride.

Good machine, I'm sure it doesn't owe you anything. My stand here is 50% white popular. Was thinking of making a cabin out of some of them. Some are 18" DBH. Should get at it while bark is loose, but alas I have to peel some Alaska Sitka for a house. Big wood, 20" tips at 40'.My little 440 b. That's bout all she can handle!! Ha
It seems when it's flatter than piss on a plate and dry you don't need chain as long as you have a bit of tread.I'm surprised you don't run chains. I grew up in Maine and until recently I thought all skidders had chains on them!
That happen during one of your blackouts?It seems when it's flatter than piss on a plate and dry you don't need chain as long as you have a bit of tread.
Chains make a lot of difference in every situation. They are pita to move around and install . I had some ring chain when I had a 540a. Talk about climb.
