It's a Pacific Northwest thing... you wouldn't understand!

The son in law dropping a big pine last fire season

Gotta bump this pic again. Great pic of faller cleaning up a mess.

That is a great shot, I can smell the chips.

Nice one. Dont have anything that big here. Dang it!

We've got quite a few that size, but they're all off-limits for harvest and fireproof. They pretty much come down when they want to. 120" DF fell 2 years ago, and a 90" Ponderosa fell last winter.

Yes, that's right -- Ponderosa. We have pretty much the ONLY P Pine population in W WA. We have a few champions, I think -- I've measured RA over 160' and BC over 120", as well as PM ~35"/80', and those aren't even the biggest, just the biggest that I'VE measured.

When that PP fell, it blocked a road 100' from the butt. It took me about 4 hrs to buck it up into rounds and slabs with a 044/25"/RSC on account of being >60" all the way across and me being alone with one helper with a 361.

As if to add insult to injury, the next day we got first a dozer and later a grader in there. If I'd known that was how we were gonna roll, I'd have made about three cuts and let the diesels do the rest!

Just a quick question for my PNW buds. What brand of filters do you prefer for velocity stacks?

And where do get the correct size filters?

 

[Cedarkerf]

I dont run velocity stacks but Madsens sells K&N, Uni and green weenies

 

[madhatte]

I have a K&N on my 036. It works great. I got both stack and filter at Madsens.

 

[little possum]

Thanks Brian. I just know that Ric has one somewhere on a big Jred, and figured ya'll would have the answers.

Hmm, 1 vote for K&N, and that is a great looking saw Madhatte!

I got mine direct from the K&N website. I could not find the exact filter as my original was
a rubber top and the replacment had a CHROME top. Added about one extra HP with the chrome.:hmm3grin2orange:

To me its more amazing what Bones can do with anything that has a motor.

 

[little possum]

Thanks Ric, I think that may be a little too big for my application though. Just 70ccs

hate to be nearby when that one comes down... wow

 

[mdavlee]

Wow that's a big cedar. I'd like to have been there to hear the boom when it hit.

If you were listening you prolly could have heard it in TN

They must be East coasters. No humboldt

A great example of why we need deep bark dogs here.

These are the new ones I just got mounted.

They must be East coasters. No humboldt

I think the main focus is to get that very expensive tree down safely.
If it breaks it means thousands of dollars lost for 20 foot of splinters.

The cedar has a bell at the bottom and once its down they cut the bell off
and because its not straight it may go to shake mill.

Around here many loggers just leave the bells in the woods. Some go for firewood.

The old loggers with hand saws just climbed up above the bell and made their cut.
You can see 4 of the springboard notches in this stump.
This one sits in my yard and was about 8' at the cut line.

Sick lookin' saw mang!

Jeepers mang, that's a mighty big tree. I bet it went KABOOOM when it landed. Whose them fellars in the base notch? Your kin folks I reckon? :jawdrop:
