They were made with roominess in mind.

We're fixing to gear up to make more -- Stihl's at first, other manufacturers later.

When he's ready, my buddy's going to sponsor here to sell them.

Glad ya like it Tramp!

Tofay eas the first day I've used the handlebar.
All around superior to any other handlebar I've used on a Stihl. . The only things I would change would be to use a greater diameter tubeing . But they r grrat the way they are !!!!!!

Headed to my buddies shop in a few to help him setup a couple things, he's making a run of 40. We talked last night about having the coating thicker, and plan on talking to our guy to see what he can do.

If he can't uniformly make the coating thicker, stepping up tubing size may be an option.

Yup, they're 044/046, then some 066.

Sure thang, cut the other stuff off and it can be sprayed.

Nice pics Tramp!

Well, just got off of a 2 week unpaid vacation. Spring came early. Its been in the 70s and 80s here. Just fricken crazy for this time of year. Records that aren't even on the books. Anyway things are startin to dry up. Not able to skid yet, but cuttin a few days a few week. 150 mile round tripper to the job.

Second stump of the day last Friday. I cut it pretty low to get one nice 8fter below the first crotch. Got a couple of logs after that. Yep, an ugly pig.

Coffee break. Its a 10 minute pack in so I've been dragging a lot of stuff in with me.

Already into the 2 gallon of water days. Too Early for that. Man, I got fat in two weeks.

Bitzer, do you walk into where you have to cut or ride an ATV?

Took me a minute to figure out why u had 2 gal of gas with u . Your running your 395 . Judgeing from the size of the stump compared to that 15" bananna that was around 4' on the stump wasn't it . How will u log that . Back or drive the forwarder lengthwise along the tree or can u reach all the logs from 1 end ?? . Looks good .

Beginning to wonder if there's a vast underground movement afoot that's promoting this stuff or is it just a fad that will go the way of the beanie-baby junk ?

:monkey: Be on the look-out for an old ratty pickup with Oregon license plates. If you find him, keep him.

Natural selection, hopefully!

Heres a pic from tday

And heres a butt log where u can see the siswheel and my facing cuts

 

[tramp bushler]

Obviously the swirly buckskin isn't the tree I put the siswheel in .

The one I swung you can see the holding wood line .
Can see where I gunned and took the face out . And if you look close can see the compression line from the step in the kerf dutchmen .

I had plowed out a short spur road to get to this tree . Had a screen of healthy understory between spur and tree . I wanted to grab a couple saplings with the tree as it fell so I wouldn't break it on the snow bank
The tree leaned about 100 degrees from my chosen lay . Didn't have any wedges on me .

A few cuts , aroubd she comes and down she goes

 

[tramp bushler]

I know it's not timber on the ground . But late winter sure is pretty here. Especially after a hard cold winter
