Logging pictures of my father and me

[traktorist2222]

Nice that you like my pictures! There will be more pictures this fall and winter, I am sure...

I will look what the gas cans cost and how much shipping to overseas will be and let you know in a separate thread.

No, I don't have a MS 441. It's my uncle's saw.

As I said, in Germany 1 m is a standard length to store and/or sell firewood. Most people cut it at 50, 33 or 25 cm at home - depending on the size of their wood heating.

And thank you Metals406 for the star!

Yesterday I felled a big spruce with a hydraulic lift work platform. It had in 5 meters still over 50 cm diameter.

I used my Dolmar 7900 in the lift and the Stihl MS 660 to fell the remain of the tree.

Today I made a bit chainsaw carving. I carved a hedgehog family.

After carving with chainsaw:

At home I grinded a bit with angle grinder and used a propane heater to give the incite dress a bit more colour ... and I painted the faces:

And because we are in a chainsaw forum... I used MS 211 and 346 XPG:

WOW! Just went through the whole thread!! Very nice Martin! Thank you for sharing. Oh and the country side is beautiful.

You have very nice equipment also, looks well maintained, and I like the outer "pre" screen on the 7900!!

Two weeks ago we milled a cherry tree log with Alaskan Saw Mill and Stihl MS 660.

Just went back through the entire thread. Thanks for giving us a look at life
outside this country. It's stuff like that, that we don't see or hear about,
just folks similar to us doing some of the same things we might be doing over
here. I really appreciate you letting us see a side of Germany we know very
little about.

I really like that International tractor, I believe you said it was an 833 made in
Germany. I'd like to get my hands on one of those with the 4WD like yours.
We have two Internationals with German engines, a 574 and a 686 with a
M&W Turbo add on. Not sure if they were completely assembled in Germany
but they have good string engines.

Great pics as always!
One question: If I am not mistaken You sold Your MS362 on eBay.de. Why so?

Was over in Germany and Austria last year, not too far from you. Was there for work, but got some play time too...

I was in Munchen for opening day of Octoberfest. I must say, everything they say about Octoberfest is true, especially on opening day.

I was in the HB tent when the mayor tapped the keg (the famous saying "it is tapped"...maybe you can help me with the German). Oh my, that was some party. I've never seen so many people get so drunk so fast!!

After that, my memory is not so reliable...I had many of those fine liters of beer. Mostly HB and Spatenbrau...I lost count.

Beautiful country out there...great place to be a chainsaw guy! I met a lot of really nice people from all over Germany. I really felt at home, despite speaking little German.

Hallo Martin

Ich freue mich dass Du hier wieder ein paar Bilder hereingestellt hast. Generiert bei mir immer wieder den Neidfaktor!
Freue mich schon auf die nächsten.
