Falling pics 11/25/09

Just some junky elm. Nothing special. No pic of the tree falling though, cause the cameraman took a forward tumbling roll just as the tree headed for the lay

Can I ask did ya take a limb of the backside before ya faced it up. I may not be seeing the pic right but if ya did it shows that ya worked things out really well (ya even got your camera man rolling lol) which I think shows skill and knowledge

Thought you were in ID J.C., I know for a fact they've got better timber than that

Glad you're keeping busy, you still in ID? Sounds like I'll be over that way for the better part of the next year.....Catch up with ya sometime if you're still in that neck of the weeds.

Take care - Sam

Yep. It would have smacked a storage shed after hitting the lay and rolling to my right as I guessed.

Working in the Midwest for now, Sam. I'll have to come up for a burger and a beer this summer.

I don't know exactly what it is but with that long bar, I have been throwing some big kerfs. I pre-viewed 2 vids I shot today and was like Holy ####! I actually don't even know how I got away with it. The odd thing was while I was cutting everything seemed right, but when I watched on the vids...there it was, bigger than ####!

I thought they were shallow and kinda flat:msp_biggrin:

 

[roberte]

i bet you had to use a springboard on that tree

Springboard, lmbfao, good come back Brian

yes sir, just a little high

 

[paccity]

Only cedar I've cut were yard trees and I might be wrong but they seemed to behave a little better if they were cut just a bit high.

Flip side of that though is up in N. Idaho they cut those cedars off at ground level, like just a few inches of stump. I was told it has something to do with the way mills pay for the logs they want every inch possible for cedar. So I guess I dunno, but yeah, those seemed a little on the tall side.

around here they pay by the small end of the log ,if you have butt swell its all waste ,plus they don't stack nice on the truck

That is pretty standard.

The job I saw was going for shakes and they were moving logs with huge butt swell. It was a little out of the ordinary. I'd ask the guy I knew that was working that job but since he stole a chainsaw from my friend we're not on talking terms.

I wasn't there and I wasn't on the saw, so I don't know what the conditions were

Here's one from Sunday. I hope I'm not boring everybody with these vids. I have 2 that I am going to cut out the limbing if I can figure out how to edit! :hmm3grin2orange:

The 2nd and 3rd pine in the vid were leaning up the hill and were going to swamp the skid trail, so I side hilled them and manipulated the hinge to make the swing. I brought them around I figure 90*...for as bad as they were leaning, I was fairly pleased.
