That did look like a biggun.

I get this job I priced out yesterday I'm gonna have some record sized hunks of wood for me. Giant old norways and silvers. Its at that same place where i rented the 20 yard dumpster last time. Gonna have to go with two thirty yarders this time, and I might still be hauling quite a bit. Probably have to buy a bar bigger than the 36" that I can usually get away with on the 395. It amazes me that each year I still seem to find bigger trees/treejobs. :cheers:

BTW: whats the biggest bar you think you could run on a 395 (and still have some nut)?? not what the book says, but your opinion.

I am running an eight pin and 36" ok but would not go bigger without mods but that is me!
 
No tree work today but I am getting paid good money to go watch the Sugarland concert tonight. Already warned my wife that if I dont come home it means I left town with Jennifer Nettles.

Yeah, I tend to agree with you. I hate to see a saw trying to wear too big of a bar, with the nose all tilting down when set on the ground. It may be 3120 time if I get that one.. just dont really want to spend the money on a saw that I'll probably hardy ever use. maybe I'll just get a bigger bar and deal with it being a bit of a dog for that one (if I get it). I'm really trying to save for a big truck this year is the deal - no more payments!

I would think it would pull 50"with the 7 pin but would be little more sluggish. After my ported 372 all stockers seem slow. I will be getting the 395 ported when it gets more hours on it!

Had to start the day by making another dump. Since I haven't been able to get in to my regular dump I have been having to deal with the city Green Waste and the bankers house they work (3:45 is last call at gate and they are closed Sunday).

Anyway, I was in the tree by 10 AM after making my dump and fighting traffic through all the road construction. Had to lower every piece of this Silver maple over the house. Lots of block work. I took some good sized pieces. Took about a 20' section of one fork that was around 2 foot. I tip tied it and hung it out of a natural fork in the other side. I figured it at just under 3000#. I also butt hitched a 16 foot piece that was around 18". Is that what they call negative blocking??? I'm not sure about all the terminology, I just know how to do it. I figured that one at just under 1300 but it took me for a pretty good ride. Been awhile since I have taken a ride like that. It didn't slam me or anything but it was a pretty good ride. I also butt hitched a 6 footer that was right around 30". Not much of a ride on that one because I was into the big wood at that point. I figured that one a just over 1300. I dropped about a 15' pole just perfect in the postage stamp drop zone. Landed it on two logs to absorb the shock and I could saw the logs easier with minimal rolling. One of those days where everything goes perfect...
