Bahahaha



No need to score that one old son. She's just about spot on mate
However you certainly get bonus points for bloody stalling a ported 441 M-Tronic. I thought it was an impossibility until your felling video

The only reason it stalled Matt is thats that full chisel skip chain you sent me,or and the rackers are a bit low,i only use it for this soft stuff.

I thought it may have been because your arms are like hydraulic rams and you pushed too hard

Found this was a very large Redgum today,im 6"2 so that will give you an idear how big it is.

 

[Bigdgb]

That would have been a ripper when it was solid, are you going to cut it up?
BTW Andrew I think the planking fad thas gone out long ago

Thats an interesting looking stump you're standing on

 

[Stihlman441]

No cuttin that thing up mate to old and wise for that,i will find some green stuff.:msp_smile:
I was getting a bit sleepy needed a spell.

 

[Stihlman441]

Having a look at that stump,the bloke that did that had no idear and a small saw.:rolleyes2:

lots of angals on that one for sure, do you think it was rotton in the gut when he cut it?

Nice work on the pine Andrew. What is the deal with the tree, do you have to cut it up and remove it all, or just cut it up , or just drop it and leave it for the owner to take care of ?
Nice size Redgum but as was posted, shame it was hollow.
The guy probably did'nt know how to cut and as you say had a small chainsaw , but he got it down though.
Have a look under the trunk for any boots sticking out. :msp_thumbup

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya Wayne i was employed to fell it,cut it up into lenghts so the farmer can lift them with the trackter onto a bon fire.
The go is they are making a larger flash entrance to the place and this tree was in the way.

 

[sun64]

Well, lets hope he has a decent tractor as that is a reasonable stump to remov for his grand enterance.
I noticed the name on the gate, Shelburn, so when he lights up his Bon fire , lets hope Shelburn.:msp_ohmy:

 

[Stihlman441]

You make funny joke there mate

 

[Stihlman441]

A blokes,been workin again this time felling dead Wattle trees,these thing are a pian in the a_s i dont know why i do it to myself but i suppose it pays the bills.These dry trees are very Hard and its even hard to get to the buts got to cut your way in before starting.
Sorry about the crap vids they were takin on my dog and bone (phone) so not the best.I got heaps of these to do,not much fun really after three days of it.:msp_unsure:

That wattle makes some good bbq firewood Andrew. Take a steak with next time and light a fire :msp_wink:

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya allright last one.
If your wondering why the stumps are so high,the farmer wonts them like that so they are easyer to get out with the excervator.

[deye223]

mate i use that crap as fire wood bloody good stuff a lot better than stringy and easy'er to split it just stinks like hair when burning
but i'm not outside when the fire is going so don't care about the smell

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya i have afew people ask for it to use in pizza ovens,i dont bother with it most of the time its to hard to cut.Its allways full of grub holes,i suppose thats what kills um.

 

[deye223]

good to see you took the 460 for a walk

 

[Stihlman441]

Thats the only time the 460 comes out these days for the crap jobs,he wasnt running to good today for some reason,started off with a fast idle had to adjust it,differant fuel maybe i mixed this morning ?.
