If i was to get (if) some of them orange coloured saws how much more wood i could get cut with them.:msp_scared:

Depends if they come with extra arms and hands so that is a variable question Andrew.
How many arms can you fit on your 6'2 body ???

Lets hope he does stay at Ford. Imagine the global warming if he got let loose with his chainsaws FULL TIME

Nah Matt, it will neveer happen . The carbon tax on his fuel and oil bill would kill him .
How is he gunna offset that with carbon credits in some forrest area when he is cuting the bloody thing down ? :chainsawguy:

 

[Stihlman441]

Like i said most of the ones i cut grow back.

MATE, are you serious. Why would they want to work their asses off picking up firewood when they will probably get paid twice as much SITTING on their asses by the federal goverment ?:msp_w00t:

Nice work pulling them over,, hey not telling, nor asking, just sayin tis wise to get a lid on yer noggin with them big old canopy tasks lad :msp_wink:

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya i got a stack hat but we dont get along very well.

 

[MCW]

Nice work but you really should wear that hardhat mate. Gums are notorious for dropping limbs out as they fall. I'm not the PPE police but a hardhat is probably the most important thing you can wear under any tree but especially a eucalypt. You've got a fair few branches above your head. I've had a few near misses myself and that was while wearing a helmet

agree gotta luv hate affair with my lid as well, I like to think i can tell when its needed or not. I never took a limb to the head which just means the odds on are stacking up against me.

Big old canopy euc will have good odds for your cranium, but an't it the way yer do the right thing till job done, take off yer lid n walk ya scone into the truck tipper door. :bang:

 

[MCW]

My melon hates the Stihl helmets. The Husky ones fit well though and they have a good set of muffs too
I was running a Jakmax helmet for a while but changed the muffs to a set of Peltors. Ported saws really show up poorer quality hearing protection.

Actually not true, I tool a chunk to the face head when I was 40 foot above in a bucket, dead section felled away and I watched like slow mo a 3 foot bit flying backwards up at me like a boomerang, it was so amazing i took no action till it smacked me a perfect hit.

Then what?

Hardhats are dangerous, only been hit while wearin' one.

I have to wear a hard hat at work most of the time is it is no bother to me.
I have an old 80 hp Massey at home, no cab or roll bar on it. I have pushed over a few dead trees and the branches have come flicking back down on me.
Now I wear my hard hat for that purpose. I use it on some trees if I am not sure of them.
