oh, he worked his arse off, and finished pretty.....

Hell, I tell myself I am done everyday, tell my wife I am gonna kill her first too. That don't mean its true.
My advice to Prentice would have been to chill out and eat a little shrooms if he really wanted to make the jump but I could see he was stuck in a rut for a spell.
Yeah, I'll quit tommorow.

Funny that you say that, did that 2 Fridays back, been a long time, and it wasnt a little. Ended up paralized on the floor for 2 an a half hours. I might a seen God but he wasnt pissed this time. Oh the sights! Woo! I am not young any more.

We let the young-uns hold the saws and look cocky for doing such a good job.
If I put my other bar on that saw, It'd be taller than him, those were 2 of the best working 18yo's Ive ever seen, and I swore off workin with kids that age years ago. We got a piss poor labor pool in this area, BELIEVE ME! Everyone wants/needs a job, but NOBODY WORKS!!! Slayer, hold on to those 2 as long as you can!

DAN, I dont know ya , but I love ya! and to the rest of ya'll, when was the last time you drove half way thru the country, stayin in high end hotels on rich arse mommy and daddy $ gettin cow and reveverse cowgirl from a smokin hot 23yo? I was stuck in a #### movie this summer! Who would want that to end? In the end I got used, she was slummin. She'd pick me up in mommies brand new mecedes and i 'd say, 'im to dirty to get in this car' and she'd say, ' no baby your just dirty enuff'. Look up tara tashjian on facebook. Yeah, you'll see.

Nice photo

Hey I'm just a newby on this site but I ain't new to killing trees that there cottonwood those boys are standing on wood be a sucker up here in the Shuswap and what's with the huge saws for such a small tree if some ones working too hard that's why. When I first started killin' as a sapling I too thought bigger was better. But smarter is gooder.

Every tree in the PNW is taller, wider and fatter; and the groundies have to go up hill to the chipper...both ways.

 

[DangerTree]

yeah both ways like the time we had to clear a ridge line for a cell shot only one way to haul -up! But seriously here at the Adams river basin we have true monsters in the rottonwood department. Some are 200' + and D8s are needed to safely pull em' over. These are true house crusher 9000 trees, full of water you need rain gear to cut em' down, and they are some heavy!! They exist on Indian land that was diverted swamp so they could lease the land along the lake to non natives.We have also taken down some monster Bull pine in the 5' + range due to beetle kill. Sad to see them fall they were heritage trees. I have pics when I find em' I'll post em". I'll send photos of the rottonwoods asswell when I find em'. I know what you mean though my saws bigger than yours na na na na na.

I have a 385 for stumps and bucking but-logs. anything bigger than 36 inches is a waste, and that gets in the way more often then not.

I do have some picts from this summer of me up in a willow, chunking limbs out with it for us that 8ft but was a monster.

Sounds like a good time

and where are these big trees of yours, in the woods? or over houses and power lines like ours.

of course they're bigger there. that 44" saw was for 1 stump cut, I do all my felling with a 460 and a 28" bar.

post some pics, I'd like to see (but not cut) some monster cottonwoods. they suck to rig out.

Yeah! Slayer jumped in! Maybe this could get good. Big trees? Who got big tree's? Hahaha.

Yeah no problem be glad too I have to go down to Scotch Creek in the next couple days to increment bore a few so I'll take some photos and post em'. We may or may not cut these down depending on their health. But most are only taken down around homes and power lines. I have dismantled a few but if we can lower power lines it is generally easier. Fortunately the power smart program by BC Hydro works with us to make things safer and easier for everybody. We don't need heroes, we just need our safety and continued employment. And by the way good lob guys.

I still get fooled by big cottonwoods sometime . They grow alot between bidding and doing . IDK...somthin bout cottonwoods that they are just alot bigger when u get up there then u think . I learned to add atleast a few hundred to whatever I think the price of removal should be. $1000 removal....cottonwood...better make it $1400..

You got that right, Swamp monsters are very difficult to bid. I did an assessment of a 5 acre +/- lot on the waterfront not far from here. It was mostly dead and dying birch in a mixed stand of fir cedar and AC's- Big ass swamp monsters. That was two years ago they of course did not heed my advice and built a 2 million dollar house on the lot before doing the snagging. Ironically a wind storm came through this summer and grabbed onto a swampy and crushed the neighbors house! but good. I am now just about done clearing out the lot I need to take photos for billing as the clients live in Alberta. I will post a couple of those too should be funny!!! Dinners up chow

 

[DangerTree]

I found a pic of a couple bull pine we just took down now I must figure out how to post em' never done it before.

The saws for show, climb for the dough!

I own that saw mostly for the firewood pile. I dont like makin' cookies on a 36"+ Oak with a mid range. I pull it out every now an then to run some fresh gas thru it. It does not like sitting in the shed.
