Looking good Paccity. I'll try and get some pics of the little job I do on the weekends. Cutting on 40 acres thats getting cat logged.

 

[slowp]

[paccity]

Cutting a corridor for the crap tube. This morning's job was to open a branch to the cabin on left. Doesn't show that well in the daybreak light... A tight place.

The guy wearing a pair of dish washing gloves came by to lower the wire. He did all the climbing. I just dropped the trees. There was 9 standing trees on the property, which had no room to fall. The local power company drops their wires down free of charge. Makes it kinda tempting to use their services.

Way is open and power is back on. I had to an extra hour dismantling piece of that rail fence. Otherwise, a quickie small job.

Werked out pretty slick, bit of a guessing game on choker placement at first but once it got rolling only took about 45 minutes to load that trailer. would have been faster with tongs (but tongs scare me:msp_scared that and if the dammed gypo yarder would actually idle and quit braking pull start cords... got two loads out today though!

From the spring GTG here. . . Cody whipped a nice Sisweel on this fir.

If you use tongs, a guy needs to fab a spreader bar for them -- then it's nice.

 

[northmanlogging]

Spreader bar's not the issue its the whole failing to grab the log and slipping while squirshing the second loader (i.e. the wife) but maybe I'm paranoid.

A spreader bar makes it a whole lot easier to find the sweet spot too. . . I reckon you could use a choker on each end rather than a tong.

Yeah, ya don't want to squish the wife, that'd really make her mad! :msp_biggrin:

 

[northmanlogging]

most of what I got for logging is salvaged equipment, so coming up with a spreader bar shouldn't be too hard. got another gypo cedar job to clean up in a few weeks probably need to build a boom to mount to the truck for loading them since they are a residential danger tree job, the gypo yarder takes a day or two to get set up and I'm just sure the neighbors at that sight would not be pleased to have guy lines running through their front yard :rolleyes2:

 

[northmanlogging]

I guess we could hook the guys to one their priuseeses? knaw taint heavy enough...

 

[Metals406]

Showed a buddy how far a Sisweel can pull even a dead Fir away from the gun. Also, not often a guy can cut firewood on flat ground and you can drive right to it -- in these parts anyway.

Rubbish small diameter timber I cut last June at the wasteland. Now that its seasoned in the bush over summer, forwarded and piled on the roadside. Waiting for a chipper.
