Im thinkin' of cutting this one down. Does you guys think that I can put a
120" bar on my MS290 (muffler mod).

i can't see anything. I think you posted it worng. Just copy/paste it straight to the page there.

Neither, it is definitely oak.

Sure, I bet that your saw will be able to pull some serious chips with that bar.

Post picks when you cut it down and split the rounds by hand. Nice score!

For a 290 modded my max bar is 119". 120 might be pushing it.

 

[procarbine2k1]

I fixed, I tried to enlarge it and the link got weird on me.

 

[Anthony_Va.]

I dunno what that is. Don't look like any ashe I've seen though. I think if all you had was a 120" bar, you may as well head to the house;

I know one thing, It's BIG.
I don't think it's Ash but i'm
not an expert on species.

Use race fuel with Amsoil Sabre at 100:1 and you should be fine.
Don't forget to bring a rope to pull it down with your car.

You will definetly need a 361 to mill that beast though. maybe a auxillary oiler, not sure though.

My cousin Billy has a couple saws, them pro ones they use out west I think. Purple and green is all I can remember. I think were gonna do something about this one this weekend. I figger if we can get 100 cords out of it, and sell them for 100 a piece. We will be millionaires.

Some of those you tube vids show large smooth bark trees they claim are beech. REJ2

Baobab tree, they don't use it for building or firewood.

Anemone and Scott Beaulier standing at the base of what is said to be Africa's largest tree. The tree is called a baobab tree, and it is approximately 5,000 years old. It's located in northern Botswana near the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.

The way it loaded for me was about one branch. I was like, OK, Beech, not ash.
Followed by HOLY SH*T, that's a big tree. Take it down and take picks or vid.
Thanks for the pics.

And to think that I don't even have an MS290 either, shucks. In African folklore, the Baobab tree was planted by the hiena- and which it was also planted "upside down." Some estimate this tree to be closer to 6,000 years old if memory serves me correctly.
Hope you guys enjoy, I love seeing the "big timber" trees such as this.

Tree off of the net, only thought I would add some humor. There isnt a saw made that would tackle this tree, without some serious heavy equipment assitance and who knows what else.

I think they should call it a "boyoboy!"
