Whats a limbing saw?

LOL...a luxury we all wish we could afford. That, and someone to pack it around for us. :msp_biggrin:




Ron...just picking on you a little. The tree looks good.

Did you drop that oak in it or did it roll over it? Don't feel bad the basket case has a very similar looking aircleaner cover and a slightly bent handle bar... all from before me of course...

Whats a limbing saw?

another word for bucking chock

 

[RandyMac]

066s make dandy limbing saws and probably wheel chocks too.

 

[hammerlogging]

sometimes I wonder why another saw was ever made.

"Limbing" saw

Candidly, I didn't know what else to call my backup saw so I borrowed the term from the chainsaw forum. Since I can usually drive to the site, I take backup saws - usually to back me up when I'm too pooped to wrangle anything heavier. And to cut me out of a pinch. In this case I cut the "limbing" saw out of a pinch, grabbed it before it fell, sat it behind me, and then removed the 125 from the cut; when I did the sections rolled on the poor little Stihl. I'm glad it was the saw and not me. I had to go get the guy with the tractor to save the saw - my Landcrusier let me down as it was unable to push-roll the section far enough. Ron

I work alone about 50% of the time, so having a back up saw in the crummy is a must have, most times I'll have the wifey or a homeowner around in case something really bad happens...

Private 5 acre remediation for Spruce Budworm and Tussock Moth.

Ron's gotta haul butt, supposed to be in the 50°'s next week, and we only have 2" of frost this year.

Won't take much to have breakup on top him quick.

All is hand felled, then the processor is crawled up to process and bunch for the Kubota and Farmi setup. It's pretty quick that way.

I get to go have more fun this week. :msp_thumbup: BTW John, you have to go up that driveway to see what's happening. . . Swing in this week sometime. :smile2:

How the hell did you manage to get on that flat ground? Somebody forget their clipper??!!

I'm telling ya, Ron's got a sweet thing going. I think Cody might could look into expanding into something like this along with his special tree work.

A Kubota around 30 horse, make some guarding for it, and slap on a Farmi.

This job is 5 acres of creamy fir -- Ron gets all the timber and some grant money for slash.

You sure won't get rich doing it, but it's about as much fun logging as you can have. No Bullbuck barking at you, no yarder horn running ya ragged. It's amazing how much funner logging is if you're not pushed for a deadline or some of the other things that come with bigger shows.

 

[tramp bushler]

Wow, a Roller nose bar. I'm guessing 071 . And a 6 point. Good pic. Also looks like that was the first tree of the day.

Looks like the Bullbuck came over t help with this one.

Or an American Track Loader on rubber with a snorkle like LP had at Coffman Cove. For loading out the right of way logs . The swing friction on it sounded like a Fallers whistle. And it was so loud we couldn't hear the guy next to us. I wish I could LIKE your post about 50 times. !!

Logging fun Nate? I thought I must have commited some horrible crime to wind up where I'm at!

I sawed for a guy over in Helena for a while that had a Kubota with a Farmi, they are a pretty slick, low impact setup. It was a lot more fun too......just didn't pay worth a ####.

Got that 117 you gave me running -- used it up on the job today (Haywire showed up for a bit too ). She's a little chip maker for 61cc. . . Although, my port job may have contributed. :msp_biggrin:

24" bar and full comp Stihl square chisel. The chain cut like Fito's ass out'a the box, I need to give it a little loving before I video it. LOL

and the chain rash on the shoulder and bar oil stains down the back.

Nice! Those are really nifty little saws, glad you've been able to make some use of it.

Seems like no matter what chain you buy anymore does need a bit of work to be made to cut worth a damn. I just switched from the Oregon CL to CK. Speeds up the process a bit and seems to cut just as nicely on the bars I run.
