BIG SAW cut BIG TREE

[Dan_IN_MN]

Do you have a video of it coming down? I'd like to have seen that.

Good thread.

That would have been a good idea.....everyone was waiting with their saw to get cutting.

Being rotton in the center...it didn't take much cutting on the back cut for it to go over. IMO....I think it went sooner than andydodgegeek expected it to do. Interesting on the face cut. Not knowing where the rot was in the center, he cut right up to the rot. Probably not the best....material for a hinge but it went very well.

Nice pics, keep 'em coming!

It's stuff like this that makes me regret selling off my big saws, even though they were so seldom put to any productive use. Might need to get a 2100 or another 075/076 one of these days...

I'm glad you did!

I might try to get a pic of your old 076 with it's 42" bar on an oak that needed it.

Here's an interesting read,

Most think Indiana is just one big corn field. There are over 4.5 million acres of Forest land in the State.

We don't have the species like the West Coast. Still you have to wonder how big they would get if they were native here?

Pretty impressive White Oak eh?


(He he, it's on my property)

 

[andydodgegeek]

Looks like a dandy. Probably heat the house for a few days.

Not big trees, but they were oak and that's what we cut mostly when we can get it for free. This is the obligatory MS290 pic for those of us who cut mostly firewood with this saw. From the foothills of Cali and wearing PPE. Yup, those are Husqvarna chaps.
