Nice work again Tramp!


One of the last decent ash left in this swamp. I'm damn near out of the jungle now.

Trimmin up at the end of the day.

A good lookin sight!

So much talk of the Coos a week or two back. Here is the version I use and variations thereof. Its amazing how much you can get away with if the saw is sharp and you don't mind a little pull. This one didn't much at all. If its going to be really nice wood then I will take the time to bore a leaner or if it doesn't give me any other choice. The face is key regardless.

Man ; that is a nice looking sight. Good work! ! Looks like the dry weather has helped your access. Tho the grass looks green still. Its been raining here. Got everything ready to start brushing under powerlines tomorrow doing the high hard and dangerous stuff ahead of the Fecon head track machine. Cutting around the poles and guylines.
I use a Polaris 6x6 to go from pole to pole.

Thanks! Yeah we may be at normal rainfall totals for August but we went for nearly two months with no rain between May, June, and July. That along with little snow fall last winter its still pretty dry everywhere. Crops did bounce back though. That landing is in a hay field that got cut yesterday. When I got there it didn't look like much. Sounds like you're havin fun!

Those are some fine loads bitzer! I hope you start buying timber like that and sending the kids to camp and ####. Could be 5500' or more on each of those.

Not casting aspersions , but he should have quartered it down the hill more. Would have pushed the break another log toward the top. But he may not have had the room.

Who's he cutting for, Crown?

Glen, he had to miss a tail hold and a few other things. . . Not the ideal lay, but worked good in the end.

They're cutting on P.O.W, I can't recall the name of the outfit.

 

[tramp bushler]

OK. I figured there was something. .

you be the judge.:msp_rolleyes:[video=youtube;uZjzg5ibs3o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZjzg5ibs3o&feature=player_embedded#t=0s[/video]

paccity, I'm a little woozy from the video but my first thought was this is going to be good as the cut is being started on the wrong side for the tree to fall in the direction of the little orange arrow painted on the ground. Finally got my eyes focused to realize that that was just a pile of wedges. Keep posting the pictures and videos as I enjoy them. Ron

don't take anything to heart on that last vid. most of the f&l reg's will no who and what was going on.:hmm3grin2orange: a little blast from the past.

To be candid, I was thinking what the heck slowp now has to mark on the ground the intended lay for every tree she marks for cutting - no wonder she retired. Ron

Filmed in genuine Lurch-A-Vision!

 

[tramp bushler]

I liked when the camera man dropped the camera to set the wedges. With that single Jack I thot we were gonna see some driving steel. :msp_rolleyes::msp_wink:

Holy motion sickness. For a minute there I had a flash back when I was 15 and eating mushrooms. On a side note. Did any of yall see big foot running around in the background with all that shaking?
