What goin on guys
I'm trying to,... If the d@mn Air Force would let me,... LMAO. I understand what you ean about the Dolmar,... I'd love to have a 6400 or 7900 some day. Those things are amzingly smooth AND powerful.:msp_w00t:If you'd git yer butt to a GTG, you could run all the above! Used the 7900 all day Saturday in a little berg east of Joplin that got whacked by the same tornado, just too small to get any press. You know Dolmar isn't getting the job done as far as marketing when an old boy walks up to me after making the last cut on a big ash stump, and says "Damn!" That thing's an animal! Is it European???
Hell if the Gov of KS would have let us go on activation (ANG), I'd have brought the 55, 346, 039, and 660 out to play and help clean up. Wouldn't be the first rodeo,....:bang:Now THAT'S funny!!! Boy Stephen, I could have used that 066 of yours with about a 36" bar Saturday... A lot of big trees layin' around down there... Healthy ones just up-rooted...:msp_sad:
I know what you mean. There's a Man that I've been friends with and ranched for, for the last 14 years. We had a little EF0 or 1, that went through one of his pastures awhile back,... I've been cleaning up dead-fall Blackjack Oak since I got back from my deployment. he lost about 30 trees, (barely a dent in this river-bottom pasture) all between 29" and 50" thick. When the tractor's not handy, there's A LOT of noodling going on to get the wood in a trailer w/o causing a hernia. I've cut about (3) 20' trailer loads and you can barely tell that any progress has been made at all. Not to mention all of the other various hardwoods that I have free access and pick of the litter to. He especially despises Locust and Hedge,... LMAO I love it. I help him work cattle, keep the fence up and throw him about a cord every other year and he's happy as a clam. Now if it was just a bit closer than a 1.5 hr round-trip from my house,... Now I've just gotta decide if the next truck wil be a 4x4 3500 dually Dodge Cummins Manual, OR and Int'l 4300/4700/4900 manual crewcab, (plus about a 30' GN trailer),.... Decisions, decisions,.....:bang::msp_unsure::censored:Man I hate the big trees going down, the last 5 years we have lost a few in the 32" to 36" and one 42" tree.
Post them up. Quit holding out lets go...
Now that pic does look wrong :msp_ohmy:
But if I remember right Stephen was gigglin the whole time.
Stephen was trying to eat and at the same time trying to get away from Stumpy.
The Stump got him though...:hmm3grin2orange:
Can't beat the sideways photos. :msp_thumbup:

I know this will sound like Tri995 but the bigger saws will be on hold. I just broke my right hand, hit it with a big hammer driving a bearing and hub off a 48" fan. Man I hate typing one handed, I think Stump has more practice at that than me. :msp_ohmy:
Sorry to here Steve how long are you going to be gimped up?
Not long I'm still working, I climed up in the tractor and mowed hay the rest of the day. I just got in tired and hurting. I think I can still throtle saws with this hand? I'll let you know after hay is put up.
Try this...
you still got one good hand don't ya? so why can't you hold yer saw? musta been holding your mouth wrong when you didn't miss your hand. sorry to hear it.
