Variation is the spice of life! Saturday we did that shitty hedge job. Then I got a call; a harvester needed help with some big Grand fir. So today we strapped on the caulk boots and went logging in the fine spring weather. Drove home early. Happy and smelling strongly of Grand fir sap.

Do a horizontal cut from the side you want it to go to. Cut untill the cut starts closing on the bar. Turn that into a Humbold, then fell it from behind, making sure your felling cut is level with the face. That way gravity will make it go over. Make sense? If not I'll try to explain it...

Nope. Just about killed my shoulders, though. Should have put that bar on a lighter saw.

Had a shit job today. A privet hedge to cut back severely. These days I pass jobs like that on to my subs, but I've had the client, a 92 year old lady, since 08. 661 with 36" bar. Only threw the chain 8 times.

Not very old. I think from 1950 or so.

Jægerspris castle, my main employer these days. Fine pollarding work by the castle gardeners.

It was pollinating like mad, there was a cloud around the chipper and the brush monkey's shoes turned yellow.

This one was in way better shape, that is my female apprentice climbing.

So what was the armalaria thing about. I thought only conifers were affected by Phellinus weirii?.

I think he meant Armillaria. As in Armillaria mellea. Google it and I'll bet the russin name is something with honey.

Dropping big tops is the most fun!

Nope, couldn't handle the Cyrillic letters. I mean, I can read them but it takes effort.

No, had 2 years of it in college. Why?

He was being sarcastic/ironic. Hard to get across via GoogleTranslate. The smiley should have told you, he was actually showing respect for you working under such difficult circumstances.

Still at it with the grapple saw. 2 hours with clean-up.

5 minutes. We have 500 ancient linden in alleys that need the tops taken out, in order to wind firm them. He'll work as a feller buncher on those. We'll have another forwarder move the material for chipping. Chip prices are so high, the biomass will more than pay for the job. Pictures will follow.

Took out an Ivy covered Maple between 2 houses. 20 min. Clean-up included.

Out working with the grapple saw forwarder at Jægerspris castle today. Retopping Linden trees. 15 minutes per tree, clean-up included. Eradicated some Birch trees, too.

What kind of pine is that? It doesn't look familiar.

Talk about a win-win! Plenty of hunters, but trophy hunters the lot of them. Shooting the bucks with the biggest racks doesn't do much to thin the population.
