[treeslayer2003]

[twochains]

Yep, the bad fire ring on the bigger stuff has been running really sand filled. like the burn pulled sand and dirt up with it.

that's our truck. load grossed 83,600 a little heavy. don't know how much longer pop can drive, his eyes are goin. he afraid he can't pass the eye test next time.

 

[twochains]

Those trees are whoppers for sure! I would like to set in on a some timber like those! Good looking rig ya got there also!

the white oak in this block has some punky in the butt, but I think it will clear up in a foot or two. buyer prefers to trim so I leave it on now.

 

[twochains]

If it punky, I butt off till good. I had to butt every one of the oaks but 2. If a white oak has a hard heart hole I leave it if smaller than a inch er two.

 

[twochains]

Gonna grab some vittles, hollar at ya later

Skidding sounds fun. You gonna run a grapple skidder? How is yer terrain up there?

Hilly terrain ... nope grapple is down for the count she only running on 5 cyls. 5.9 cummins dont do so hot unless bangin on all 6. So we are usung his dozer which is a 450 G JD wide track with a carco on it.

If it punky, I butt off till good. I had to butt every one of the oaks but 2. If a white oak has a hard heart hole I leave it if smaller than a inch er two.

I learned not to clean up unti the day te truck is comin ... this time of year the oak and ash will pop like $%^tard. and it makes veneer or grade 1 saw logs into grade 3 blockin logs.

 

[treeslayer2003]

yup, that's why the buyer does it. that way he can wax the end as soon as its trimmed.

 

[tramp bushler]

Yup. I'm the cutter. But I'm also the guy with the camera fon so you won't see a lot of action shots of me. Till I get one uploaded. And I have to modify it.

 

[jrcat]

Im off to get my dozer moved home I'll snap some pics .. Be back in an hour or so ..

 

[twochains]

Yum!
