So whadja do today?

[MasterBlaster]

It seems like pine trees are all I'm doing lately. These two were my project for this morning. I did the biggest, green one first. The dead one was last.

Here's the top of the first one, thrown at 36 feet.

Well, what's up with that???

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, that sucks. I wonder what I'm doing wrong now?

Both "played" fine here, except for "physical" dimensions.  What are you seeing on your end?

Poured rain here this morning so I drove to Toronto and played hooky/hockey for a couple of hours. Actually the excuse was I had to check up on my parents' house as they are away. Had a great game and will do likewise again tomorrow before driving back to the country.

I TD the biggest freaking sweetgum today, with power lines on one side just to make it interesting. I had most of the lower limbs out by the time my photographer took some shots.

And it was a GREAT weather day!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I could see the storm damage in Fla from up there!

After 5 hours in this tree, I was ready to hit the ground. So to speak.

This guy runs 36" bars on both his 046 and 066. I keep telling him to put a 24" on the 046, but he likes to see me slinging a danged three foot bar!

great pics MB! i've never seen a sweetgum near that size. i guess we really don't have any old ones around here.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That bar was way-stoopid long. I think I'll beech at him more about it. He loves to hear me beech!

Uh-oh!!!

SAW FIGHT!!!

Long bars have their place. I have one saw with a 34" bar-ready when needed. The day in and day out stuff can be cut better, faster and more safely with 20-24 inch bars. As Butch said-36" on the 046 when he also has an 066 with a 36incher is "way stoopid long". I got a 28" bar on my PP7900. The jury is still out-I'm not sure whether I prefer a 24" or the 28".

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think one saw with a 36, and another with a 24 is purrfect! :angel:

Lightning!

Hey Butch
Was that Sweet Gum struck by lighting?
