That competition is more represenative of the timber carnivals I remember here as a kid. Yah, the hotsaw stuff is fun, but I remember the events that seems to have gotten lost over the years- choker setting races, the "rigging pull", high climb + set a block and tackle, plus the event Jack Lalanne was working on- the "bore and block" while doing a handstand.

Dolmar PS7900RS.

Silver parts ( bucking spikes, muffler, top handle ) are all black. Also it has a black stripe below the airfilter cover.

Come to Butthead!

Check out this notch from the Dolmar website.

 

[sedanman]

Rich, I don't think that's the notch. The tree flairs out a lot at the base. He's making it round so he can get the fell it with a "normal" notch.

 

[Hemlock]

Looks like a Polish lumbermill to me. Thought yer supposed to make cants out of horizontal wood!

 

[Gypo Logger]

I think buddy was trying to reduce the flair so as to get more volume on the logging truck, but this is best accomplished when the tree is horizontal. He was just doing it to make the casual observer believe he knew what he was doing.

It looks like the man in the Dolmar picture is from my area. The first thing the locals do, is remove the outside bucking spike. The Germans must also remove them.

Looks like he's ripped and fallen a double-trunked tree to me...

If he hadn't of removed the outer bucking spike, he wouldn't hafta trim the flares.
