oh I see suckers on poplar all the time but I looks like that tree came right up in the middle of that stump.

That' pretty cool Brian...what is the notch you zoomed in on? I guess spring board?

Looks much better for the tasks you have planned. The other one would have split wood decently.

I nailed the **** out of the skidder today with a pine! I'm sitting there fighting the wind with 10ft top rotations, I was cutting a 2ft + 120 ft pine...wind would set the tree back on my bar...I'd wait...finally got my break and hammered into it...yep, her goes the skidder Op looking right at me, directly through my drop zone! WHAM! Right across the roof! I just looked at him like what the Hell are you doing driving under me while I'm fighting big wind! I kinda smashed the box where the exhaust comes out on the roof! I don't feel a bit responsible either! I should have had "the right of way"! Such a frustrating day..just borders on senseless to cut in wind like that. Hell I even had a load and a half on the ground and was willing to pull chokers instead of cut this morning...Oh no...so I had to cut a whole new strip in order to get 2 loads hauled today...I think I sprouted at least 20 new grey hairs today!

Shouldn't be too hard to find! They are good saws for sure! Crap I figured with your line-up you'd have (3) or 4 of them.

Nope, don't have one yet. Soon maybe. Local dealer had or maybe still has a brand new 460 still sitting in stock never fueled. Price was right too and I should have bought it.

Pftt! I figure the tree did all the talking! I was about 100 ft above him! I got to see the look on his face as it smashed over the roof...it was a combination of "Oh ****, and damn I hope this cab holds up"! LOL!

i have one but i stole the jug and piston off it for one of my 440 saws ,put that 66 big bore kit you got on it
Tagged a garage today if that makes you feel a little better... only dinged a little of the tin roof... no one would have even noticed if I hadn't said anything.

Had it been the tweeker skidder OP....YES most definitely! However is was an older fella that I get along with pretty good. All he said was he should have stopped...he watched the tree start committing and I guess it was just like watching a train wreck and never let up on the gas pedal. All I could do is shake my head...good thing was the crash topped my tree for me! WINNING! LOL!

What do you want for the remains?

That is why I only cut trees in the middle of the woods and park my truck very, very far away, lol.
Perfect.

That has been thought about. Do you think there is enough case volume to make it work or would it be a lazy turd?
a 460
