Got one down the other day saved out to 200’ but was pretty much all junk thanks to rot and stain. We’re getting down there on the big oversized with the age it’s getting past it’s prime.

working a 6 acre hardwood job... bunch of chair prone nasty leaners... more then welcome to come out and party lol

One just about got me today, I can still run pretty fast for a 300# gimpy fat kid.
 
Some maple and more Ash, felling with 500i and bucking with 2171. 500 square and 2171 took the rakers down lots. Need to get the saw up to speed before hitting the wood, hold on tight it pulls like a freight train. Used a piece of the face cut in the right side of the notch to swing the las tree hard to keep it out of the maple.4B5D2131-1BB7-46FF-80B5-14A84863C7B8.jpegFD3CF52D-6F2A-4609-BD88-BF4454497903.jpeg25B37407-FB3E-48AD-BFB0-FEC68E614E89.jpeg89932B20-E3F4-418A-9E6B-889C178640AF.jpegC9FFA4DA-303C-42C3-A034-A599CF0AEDD5.jpeg6D3984C3-FD24-40E2-86BC-18F061AEF3FC.jpegC8AE65E8-36F4-4BD6-B31D-CBB16D19D643.jpegD3B9F99D-C6DC-49C1-BB09-82A896F6D996.jpeg36EA2BA9-E2CC-4EDA-9E70-DC427A41B96E.jpeg
 
This has some good old time stuff that still applies today. Check about 14:25 for a big snag shedding it's bark. I've seen that happen and if you're double jacking get it clear with your partner which way you're both going to run. That way you don't run into each other, fall down, and wind up wearing the tree.
