How much was that job???

 

[Pelorus]

Curious why you pieced it down in small chunks, instead of yanking off longer sections?
Your drop zone looked large enough.
If you had not had the luxury of a bucket truck, could you imagine doing that job on spurs the same way?

Yeah, I guess it would not have been able to hold a notch with it split like that although I think I would have tried when it got to about roof level. I would say about half that 4k went into 2stroke mix and bar oil.

Now just give Tom a few more minutes and he will have all that split up into firewood.

How many hundreds of cords of beautiful firewood from that thing? And who got it?

I imagine because; Its good firewood so its going to be cut and ready for splitting. Its easier on chains to cut aloft, I piece my firewood on way down alot.
Now pine or junk 8 to 10 feet if there's room then load with the skid.

 

[Pelorus]

I'd rather go harder on chains and spare my skeleton (getting those cut blocks pushed off the spar).
I think it is more productive and easier to just buck up firewood on the ground than aloft.
To each his own. No biggie.

its nice having a 75' bucket

No doubt. We run a 55' + height of truck. (11' ish?) Pretty rare around here anything warrants jumping the bucket at that height. Good way to get fat.
