The Dane has a 500i, I'm sure of it... then again that saw is nose heavy with most long-ish bars because it's so light. Off early today, and I have tomorrow off. Trimmed some willows at the RV park. Were almost done with that job, just a few trees left. The girls will be out of town, so I'm...

@stig, I'm pretty sure you won "Shit Job of the Week" with that one! Why did you use 660? Seems a bit masochistic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria_root_rot

I was referring to the fairly common ailment of laminated root rot.

Quaking Aspen. They smell sweet, and leave a white dust on everything that touches them. When they get Armalaria, they smell like cow piss. You can tell the health of one by the smell of your first cut. Which is why I plunge cut low on the stump before anything.

It's weird being a groundie again, but I like it. A day of tree work is the best medicine.

Don't give them any ideas... The state is always watching. His screen name sure fits him, guy is a monster. I wish we could bottle his work ethic, then put it in the water supply like chlorine.

Is that Lightning mitigation or a flag pole there, @Maximalist?

@SeanKroll does not fear the skinny wood! A hat tip, to you sir, since I'm off the drink.

Free hand or Granberg for the slab, Mr. Patrick? Either way very nice. Most of my customers just want the wood to dissappear, it's nice when someone appreciates their trees enough to want to keep them around, even if only in part.

So far above my pay grade, I'd have to remind myself to close my mouth... Took forever for the pics to load with the weather we've had lolz. That's quite the machine indeed! Sometimes, I just like to watch equipment at work, especially with a skilled operator in control... guess the nine year...

Oh Sean, you so majestic! Looka dat face! Rugged masculinity right thar!

Elk and deer rubbing their antlers is a pretty common cause of death to our young Ponderosas. They usually attack the larger ones though, typically 2-3 inch DBH, and they THRASH them, rip all the bark and branches off as high as 8ft sometimes! This obviously girdles the tree and kills it.

Extrapolate. You ain't using terms a Kaveman can understand. Are you blunting a tooth for raker type purposes?

Yikes! What a swamp! You can plant when it's like that?

Pics please Sir David...

Ha! I've thought about that a bunch! I always wondered how well it would work, reckoned the vibrations would make it useless, so I never tried it. I'm pretty good at getting them where I want em, but it'd be nice to KNOW. Not to mention it would be a useful training aid for newbies.

What's that there behind you?

It's good to have laurels, it's better not to sit on them. Despite the challenges and difficulties, isn't it nice to know you've still got it? Damn handsome Dane in that first photo...

I fully agree with @Burnham. You make that log dolly earn its keep for sure! Got two questions for you @flushcut. 1) is box elder good firewood? I think I remember hearing that it is. 2) Would a larger, maybe heavier duty log dolly be worth the time and effort? I'm just thinking a slightly...
