Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[dancan]

The little area that I hauled my last trailer load of hardwood has a few stems of softwood to cut and haul out but today was tied up with work and a church picnic
Around 3:30 this afternoon I got everything finished so ,,,

I got a bunch of stems cut just before supper

 

[dancan]

Well since I ate a light supper ....

Since I had to work around the root balls of all these leaners I figured it was an opportunity to use the self releasing pulley to pull to the tractor .

It worked great
This was it the top of a spruce .

I'm not sure if he was there when I yanked that one out and it didn't like the ride LOL

I did break a little bit of stuff as well but it's an easy fix .

It'll be grade 70 rated chain from now on .

Damn nice 440 !! Did you cut the boards with the 440! I thought you had a 576 xp at husky, Does it still do ok? Not had time to run mine much yet.

Did you fell that tree with the porky in it or skid it across him?

Thanks, no actually I used my sons 661 to cut the boards, I did have a 576 xp at, I traded it for the 440, the 576 was a nice saw the auto tune just seemed to have a hard time getting it to run right at higher ellevation (6500') and when milling.

No, Panther Mill
