The "Not So Pro" discussion thread...of course Pros are welcome!

I was setting in the woods this morning waiting for daylight to break, trying to figure out how to record forest noises! LOL! No really though, the birds start waking up, critters rustling in the leaves...hope it ain't snakes! :hmm3grin2orange: Believe me when I say I was sitting on cleared dirt...already killed too many damn copperheads to be sitting in leaf litter! Does everybody have "whipper-whills" or Night Hawks? I been running up on them in the day time sitting on the ground. Heck they will let you get like 10ft from them and then just fly 10 ft away.

At that rate of fuel burn, it wouldn't take too many minutes to make chips non profitable it seems. How long to fill a trailer? 45 mins?

At a rate of 400 tons an hour it doesn't take long to stuff 32 ton in a 48' walking floor. Fastest time we had was 7 minutes flat with the wood staged properly. That 0.63. Gallons per minute and 6.66 tons per minute that's very efficient in my book.

 

[twochains]

Yeh, that's jamming some material through there for sure!

 

[treeslayer2003]

yes, whiporwills here. that's a big chipper. great i'm hungry again.

 

[jrcat]

Why is there always someone wanting to show pictures of food lol. Damn TC that looks good. I'll have mine on the rare side, 2 of the wrapped jalepeno's and a side of mac salad.. oh and a baked potato.

 

[jrcat]

Yeah slayer that is a big chipper it wieghs in at 82,000 by itself. It sounds like a helicopter when chipping.

And I'm sure a lot of "problems" can be solved in the chute of that thing too.

I'll take mine without the sides, instead a couple corn tortillas and some jw coffee.

Hahahhaaa that's awesome.It always seemed to be the joke.

Howdy men! Damn what a good day it was today! :msp_thumbup:

jrcat- years ago the cedar mill I worked for had a shavings planer with big rotating planer blades. Well there was an evening shift and an old man worked it along with who ever wanted extra money. One evening there was a woman working the other planer and I guess the old man was looking at her instead of paying attention to where he was sticking his hand... well his hand got chewed off passed his wrist! So next morning me and the rest of the sawmill crew showed up and the boss came down and told us what had happened. Then we were instructed to go into the hopper bin and search for pieces of his hand! The shavings were for turkey houses and the boss didn't want to risk the growers seeing a turkey running through the house with a finger sticking out it's mouth! LOL! Fortunately we didn't find anything more than just chunks! LOL!

Well boys, I got my first "paying" falling gig coming up next week. My neighbor has all sorts of ugly beetle killed pine on his property helping the infestation kill my trees. I'm gonna fall 'em and buck 'em up into 6' lengths, and he promises to pile them with his grapple and burn them. Case of Shiner Bock is the agreed price. No, Busted, I am not going to be careful, and I am not going to wear chaps:biggrin:. I would also never do any work that would potentially take food off the table of any real tree guys. I just know my neighbor is way too cheap to ever, in a million years, in any parallel universe, hire somebody to clean up the mess in his back acreage. He also didn't know chainsaw bars could be interchanged for different lengths, so it's actually probably safer if I do it:hmm3grin2orange:

Hope it gets better soon!

 

[twochains]

Hey Husk, my vid got kicked and my Ol' lady had to restart uploading. Should be up later this evening I hope!

Wearing or not wearing chaps is a different forum.
