Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[Alex D]

Very nice pics!! Im just wondering how bad are the critters?? Eg spiders, snakes etc... and other poisonous things that could fall on you??

Plenty of spiders when felling,they are in the bark a lot of huntsman spiders,they are hamless but made ya take a deep breath when they crawl up ya arm.

Been at it again today,at 1 pm was 37.2 deg C not very nice for working.
Got there early and dropped that big pine i put pic up the other day,all went well it even when where i wonted it to.Used the ported 660 with a 36'' ES Light bar and a semi chisel skip chain.
This pic was early morning as you can see by the shadows.

Oh no. The dreaded Casuarina undercut I've only seen, awe, maybe a few hundred of those!

Keep the updates coming mate, I've been slack on my thread and haven't been doing stuff all cutting.
You're right about the heat too. Has been strangely consistent temperatures across a wide part of Vic and SA. Even Mount Gambier, the coldest most miserable place in the state was the same temp as up here today.

It's interesting how the more cutting you do the more trees you find to cut

Got these and more to do on Friday,going to put one of those 100 ltr tank frames on the forks to trim from.

These Sugar gums will be felled,blocked and split on Saturday for firewood.

Small tree 9-15 m tall, diameter 29-44 cm

I don't have any idea what it is

 

[Stihlman441]

There is a lot of strange trees there, very old and past there prime the homestead was a display garden back in the 70s and open to the public.

[Stihlman441]

Had the excavator give me a hand with a push on a couple around the house.

Them zero tail swing 200 size excavators is sweet, especially in the woods!!

It just needs a harvester head and it would be the perfect firewood machine.

 

[Stihlman441]

This after about 12 tanks of fuel.
I have a pre filter over the HD2 filter that helps a bit.

 

[deye223]

think i'll leave the 461 to those that don't know any better, i get that on me 460 after 10 min

 

[Stihlman441]

One day people will work out just how good these new style saws are.
