It was an interesting storm filled night. Woke up 4 times from lightening and thunder. The last time it was an extremely loud CRACK. I swear I could feel some static lol. I get up this morning and doing my usual thing and I hear chainsaws running so I go out to see my neighbor cutting up a lightening struck soft maple about 36" dbh. What a mangled mess. Im glad it wasnt the tree in my yard.

I heard them KMC tracked skidders where a maintenance nightmare... havn't seen one working in the woods in ages. I suppose the Canadians still use em up in the muck between permafrost and hard ground though?

It looks like a maintenance nightmare. Any thing on tracks is maintenance intensive imo.

I wonder if its mostly undercarriage parts that cost the most on those. But as you said no sense in workin just for repairs.

I can't verify he's a "hippie" ( modern reference) but if husk wants me I'm hiding in plain sight.
And I'm very careful , I always cut with a Sharp "blade".
