I can't trust people that don't keep at least one stick of butter out at room temperature.

Agreed!

On all of it!

Are you asking for pictures of what I have done in the area of creating stumps?

Seems a rather strange request, although when I worked power saw spacing plantations back in the 70's I made thousands of stumps, all between four and eight inches in diameter, and none with any laterals left on them.

Didn't think to take pictures of them in case someone wanted to see them 47 years later.

Interesting that you and Kodiak Kid both seem to have taken issue with my joking reference to "cute little stumps" while showing a photo of a rather large one.

My belief that "conservatives" have zero sense of humour remains intact, as well as noting you will try anything to start something.

Troll much??



Take care.

you ask him if hes trolling,,and you do it all the time

Been so busy bucking, gathering, and loading that I have cut very few trees lately. In fact, three weekends of a single tree each - all danger trees at the county shooting range. Some ugly stumps.

Dead ash with rotten base.

Live red oak with a rotten base and solid stem and top. After stem bucked and removed.


Live beech with rotten base and rotten top sections.



Be safe,

"Social justice warrior"! That's to funny! LMAO! Never heard that one before!

You live on an island or something .
Stumps, and yes they are/were mine .

Couple from last April. I’m drying the cookies out to make some tables

 

[chipper1]

Few more.
Making at least a few small ones today, maybe one larger one, we'll see as I need to rope it off and winch it.

What stumps do you speak of? I don't see any in the picture. Only up rooted timber.

Yep, gotta get that out of there as it's right at the edge of where the pond will be. Once I get everything cleared, a few stumps ground, and then the dirt moved, I'll line it with clay, I don't want anything rotting right at the edge and then causing leak .
Here's that cherry I just dropped.
I cut way above(6-7") the metal and had hoped to miss it, you can see where I got it, the rest of that back cut sure was slow .
At least it was "soft wood" .

So here’s my weekend warrior action haha.

I know this is a really ugly cut. The lean was enough that I thought about boring the back cut but I figured it could only go one way and a barber chair didn’t seem likely.

Here’s a big water oak with a heavy lean. Fell the tree all at once and cleaned it up in a day. Used an Echo CS-8000 to fell the tree, then had problems with the chain brake, brought out a Stihl 044 Magnum that still needs work to finish bucking it. I want this one to be my favorite saw but I’m not there yet lol.

Then finally cleaned up the stump this morning with a Husky 394XP that I can’t praise enough! Starts easy and runs strong, what more could I ask for? I just got it yesterday, traded for a bullpup 12G.

Yes I can see the chain is loose in the picture.

Right now, the Echo CS-8000 and particularly the Stihl 044 are more work to start than they are to run. Hopefully I can find help for that here on this forum.

Relatively small as compared to some of the monsters in this thread, but these were cut with a Ego 56V 18" bar.

 

[user 189850]

One more batch

 

[user 189850]

11' circumference; yes, 18" Ego 56v. Of course I should have used a gas saw, with a MUCH longer bar, but what's the fun in that?

 

[user 189850]

Dropping those two giant ones, probably 100 feet tall, really changed the skyline.

The notch of the tree wasn’t great. But, I was happy with this guy. One of the bigger trees I’ve cut, for sure. Wish I could’ve seen it come down, and figure out how it leapt from the stump 4.5’.
