Does size really matter?

Actually, I like the smell of diesel, saw exhaust and all the other stuff...up to a point. I sat behind a faller who came to a meeting right after work and it was much more pleasant than a crowd at say, a chili cookoff in confined quarters. :laugh:

The Larch....

OK, I watched the movie. The cutter has a nice behind...as for the rest of the film, well, it is a good example of a jack strawed mess. Directional falling is a good thing.

I liked the music used for the first part.

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

I'm no Swedish logger, but I know their tree growing schemes. After watching the thinning video, anyone shouldn't worry about the guy spending too much time on the stump. His "logging" maneuver is either 15 years late or 20 years too early. Waste of both time and fuel.

After all its his own land and everyone has right to do whatever he pleases with his own property. I just wonder what makes him upload his folly on the tube? Well, there is also vids of people running head first to the wall and other things.
 
True that. Big supporter of do that ya want on your own property. Just sayin it makes no sense. Hell cut em all down. But like you say why post em...

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.

Sweet sound effects :rock:

That's true, there is.

I know you didn't just say "yo" !?!?!?!?! LOL

Ok guys, from now on I am take a video of every tree I whack. All of em' even all the little 3" stuff I drop when swamping around the big un's:msp_tongue:

Maybe then I will finally get the worldwide fame that this renowned logger deserves! Hell, I don't even have to fire up a saw, when I show up with my tin lid, grimy chaps, even grimier (is that a word?) hickory shirt, and my clod hoppers laced up the trees just commit arboreal suicide and jump off the stumps in fear (I will be sure to post a video of this amazing feat soon!)

If you get them to jump, make sure you video it. I wanna see where a tree's knees are :hmm3grin2orange:
 
Apparently not always. I stumbled across this instructional video of a Swedish logger cutting rather small logs with an even smaller saw, the famous 346XP and what appears to be a 14" bar. I don't know enough to critique this method so I will default to say it is "interesting". What do you think? For instance, how about a tree twice that size and a saw that could muscle a 20" bar etc?

Can't believe it took this long. She says it's not the size of the ship but the motion of the ocean. I don't know, maybe she wants to go on a cruise.
 
I'm glad it wasn't me that brought up this part of the conversation. But hey, she might not be able to catch a whale in the ocean. But by damned, she can sure land a gold fish in a mud puddle. :jester:
