    The Humboldt is primarily for speed of production

    I do use some Humboldts Logging and Felling , maybe thirty percent of the time. Climbing work that bumps up to about almost fifty percent , a real friend when piecing top , limbs , chunking stem down ... like you guys said , the way the wok comes off the cut

    The Humboldt is primarily for speed of production

    Another East West difference , here the money is in the Butts so ... West many times Butt Logs aren't as valuable even Culls. Think Gerry schooled us on that.

    Mulberry, Osage orange, a black locust all are fluorescent under a uv light. I think they share other properties as well.

    I discovered that mulberry is related to Osage Orange. That told me a lot. Their roots are both orange. That's what gave me cause to research.

    We have lots of fruitless that get hard pollarded to the same place every year, ugly while pollarded. Get all hollow and rotten and nasty and will never die. I tried to rip some small ones out with 12,000lb winch and they gave me quite the trouble.

    That tree was leaning pretty hard to the fence and $$$$ house on the right. Tethered with my new cable to the left.

    I’m pretty chill but that makes me feel very un-chill.

    I agree. I will put a new eye on it and use it for an extension or something. The new cable is not galv, (oily messy) and much nicer and more supple. Longer too,

    I hit a nail on the last cut and it broke the chain. Just a stock Echo 490 pulling it.

    I haven't gotten them home yet, but I've been gifted 24, 12volt batteries grim an off grid solar system. They upgraded to lithium. Researching grid tied backup. Keep it topped off on the grid, then have backup during an outage. A day or two with no power would be very unusual. I have a propane...

    I like how shutting down the machine was the last priority. I'd still like to know how these kinds of folks can be successful, while I'm eating ramen. Maybe because I'm risk adverse, I don't know.

    I can't decide if that one is sad, or funny. Both, I guess.

    I actually would feel much better about that failure, knowing it was not bad material, but rather bad installation of the swage. Poor quality cable you cannot fix...poor quality assembly, you can.

    Looks like a bad swage from here...lolz

    Properly kept, mulberry (especially the fruitless) can be lovely trees. Being from the desert, I've never seen one produce pollards that size in a single year, it's pretty impressive. Stephen's photos kinda make it hard to grasp the scale, but I know just how big that black trailer is. Lots of...
