whadja do today?

[dave ensign]

Rebuilt one of my one- owner 49sp. Parts and pieces but now it is all but NEW! Not much left from the origional saw but it runs primo.

 

[JimR]

Had to clean up a pile of trees I dropped last Spring before I had my knee replaced. Mostly dead Ash from an Ash blight. Just the logs on the right.

I used one of my Wheelhorse tractors to plow some climate change. Had about 10”.

 

[Rabid K9]

I dunno, man… at the end of the day it’s just a chainsaw. Let’s not get too hot in the britches over it. Lol. Just saying.

Yes, it's a nice workhorse.

Light & predictable, reliable, probably foreign words to a Husky proprietor....

Certainly easier on the body for blocking off than the MS661.

You've got me looking at second hand Omme's now, a nice 27.5 unit, something similar to what you are running. Some way off, but a good spider has been in thoughts for a while. Plenty of stuff it would be damn useful for. And a twenty tonne version of the Giant!!

Is that Toro a lawn mower in the 'green' season?

I like your gaffs with the silky. What setup is that? It looks fairly comfortable.

Just don't cut you head off with that bad boy!!

Yeah, but I leave the dozer blade on into spring. I grade yards for lawns and drag a weighted chain drag. Truly amazing what a real garden tractor can do. 12hp cast iron kohler, 4 speed with a lo range all steel and cast iron. I also added the swept front axle with 1” shafts and reduction steering off a 5/20. I’m looking for a loader for it.

Impressive on twelve horses.

Al-fresco air con as well. Good feature.

Yep. Head to a county fair that has the GT pulls as well as the big ones. Guys weigh them down just the same. And they pull well over 2000lbs on the skid. In grannny lo the reduction is significant

I got rid of tapatalk so I haven’t checked out this thread in a while. Hope everyone is doing well. Ordered a 70’ rear mount from one source so I guess I’ll be styling AND profiling next year. Also got a couple new harnesses.

 

[sand sock]

this is about 3 weeks ago. i simply forgot. a buddy passed and his wifes alone now and she had a tree monkey and a crane come out and remove a few large maples. i asked and in the contract it was significantly cheaper, for them to chip the brush and leave teh main logs on a log deck. i scored and removed them for her and landed about 1 1/3 cords of free maple.. 3 hours had it all cut loaded and split and stacked, cutting off a log deck is flat out cheating

What exactly is a "log deck" ? Pictures ?
If it makes us able to cut without bending over I'm in !

 

[sand sock]

i dont have any pics. but the crane stacks and piles them on top of each other. it maybe 5 feet tall and how ever longxwide . its pure cut and run. cutem 16 to 18 inches, rol as many into the truck as you can. when it rolls off the truck, split it and immediately stack it in a ibc crate. who ever buys it, is responcable for loading an hauling them.. i only pick them up 1 time, versus 3 or 4

 

[Silent Matt]

I’ve had a nice view for the past couple days.

 

[erictree]

not today, but last week we experimented with remote control crane operation with our buddy.
its actually not as scary as it looks, operator gets much more visibility when using the remote its awesome!

 

[mikewhite85]

Pretty slick! No more blind picks.

 

[pdqdl]

So does anyone know what has actually happened to Treevet?

Nothing bad I hope, but certainly quiet? Is it paint rollering season over there?

Last post that cleared moderation was in December, last year. He made a comment Oct 15 that was a bit too offensive to survive.

I think it's a simple case of him having other things he'd rather be doing.

his local Sherwin-Williams had a sale on orange latex paint so he's keeping busy painting stuff

I bet his new potty lift is bright orange now!

Was that that silly little post directed at me in the new thread? I thought that was a little too much with the moderating on that one, personally. I read it and was almost more bored afterwards lol.
