Does size really matter?

[redprospector]

Hahaha. Did you watch him bucking that log?
Maybe I shouldn't laugh, for all I know it was full of snakes. That's the only reason I can think of to jump around like that.

Haha. You didn't go far enough, it's just after the 7th shot.

I'm sorry but...
This is a loaded question.

Great replies. Imagine a pro 60cc saw with 20" bar and a 36" tree with a little back lean. Could it be done reliably and safely? I don't think I would be comfortable with it but the guy in the video might fly through it. The off-center holding wood does have some appeal to me because it allows the wedge to be in the back cut center but I may be all wet.

36" tree and a 20" bar? Face it and quarter cut it, with a wedge in the back

Can't watch the vid, guess it is my phone or something. Sounds fun though haha.

 

[flyboy553]

Yup, you're all wet. Good of you to realize it before you copy the idiot in the video.

He does a lot of unnecessary cutting, snipping away at that tree like he was pruning a rose bush. That tree didn't get cut down...it fell over in shame and embarrassment.

The guy is unskilled and dangerous. He shouldn't be a role model for someone wanting to learn falling.

Bob, that line is sig-worthy! I stole it and put it in mine!

Good news, I found another one of their vids...very informative.....

I ended up with a stump just like that once after trying to put out a forest fire with a screwdriver.

 

[Joe46]

Not sure how long it took Randy to down those 6 shots, but I was done at 1:15 mark. Could bear to watch any more.:msp_thumbdn:

Oh, come on. I can't believe you guys don't know if you buy one of them screened hardhats, a pair of high dollar kevlar boots, and some fancy chainsaw pants and you are automatically transformed into "Super Logger"!! And thus makes you qualified to post your exploits for the general public's education er, I mean amusement!

Sorry I just couldn't help it

If you want some real logging then check out his thinning operation. Forestry in Sweden 1 - YouTube Gas must be cheap in Sweden or pulp extremely valuable. If you can hang in there long enough he fells a small tree in the end and then applies his unique bucking approach. And again if you are still sober at this point then go to his final video which starts out appropriately with the Hallelujah Chorus. Forestry in Sweden 5 - YouTube Ron

 

[rwoods]

Maybe some Swede logger will speak up and enlighten us. I was looking for a Swedish video of a logging operation and came across this more conventional cutter but it looks like he whittled the tree down as well. pine felling in a thinning in sweden, fäller en tall i gallring - YouTube I also couldn't help but note the irony of all the safety gear and yet he pops the chain back in place with his left hand while his right is still at the trigger. I guess they really aren't that much different than some of us. Ron

Comon guys. It's not how big it is... it's how ya use your tool!













Seriously, L& I would have a field day with those guys. Plus I'm with hatte. What they are doing silviculturally wise makes no sense. Sillyculture at it's finest....

 

[madhatte]

I wonder how many processor-hours it would take to break even, cost-wise, over manually snedding 10-inch poles? I can't imagine too many. Slam! Zoop! Nyoink-nyoink! ...and the log is cut, de-limbed, bucked, and stacked for loading.

Hmm must be why all those hippie chick try and save the trees....

 

[northmanlogging]

now if only we can get more of em to start hugging loggers... then all the skinny hippie boys will be lonely... and have to learn how to pick up heavy things like chainsaws and snatch blocks to try and win back the hippie gurlz... (hmm maybe I do need to see a shrink...)
