The 4BT that came out of my Bandit 250 has a bad #1 hole: enter the back up block.

Fingers Crossed.

You guys can have the Cummins especially on slopes they don't have the oiling of a Deere.

this was next to the previous picture, one my older stumps, 6 or more years now? I've cut on this piece I think 5 times now, this is the first time I've done all the logging though. Owner would call me in for the big sketchy stuff, then skid and stack it himself... too old for that now though.

Phellinus a hard one to avoid in trees 50-80 years of age. Catch 'em younger (the Weyerhaeuser way) or wait 'til the victims shake out, and you can avoid it. Fortunately, it seldom makes it more than a few feet up the butt... though I've seen a few blow up 20 feet off the ground following windstorms. The stain will "develop" over about 24 hrs and should be bright and obvious by morning. I can see the delamination near the pith for an ID; if I could crumble it in my hands the setal hyphae and intracellular pitting would be positive ID.

Only one so far on this project.

Though I'm getting closer to the road in the next week or so, that one was leaning slightly towards said road, and power lines.

Bucked off a good 10' still a little bit of stain, but I'll ship and and see what happens.

Stain's hardly a thing if the wood is sound. It's all in the timing.

It's depends on the mill and how bad they want wood, I've had a sound stain log hit reman before.

Making some progress now that good weather is here

 

[northmanlogging]

Lets see you you folks can piece together what happened here. Only hint I'll give is notice the position of the axe, I put it there before falling this tree.

 

[northmanlogging]

Oh and does this count as 6 points or 3?

 

[KiwiBro]

she got a bit sideways, twisted/drove that axe that was resting in the kerf into the bark as if leaving a calling card? I've got an ex that did crazy shite like that.
