*if a chain is not aggressive enough in dry hard (brittle) euc, it will skate and the saw will scream unless you dog hard, and then get the bar hot. Too much bite is bad as well obviously…

More of the story. I wished I’d brought my 36” bar with a less aggressive 3/8” chain. You can hear the grabbiness in the saw. Watching this again, I think I answered my question…the elms had to go. The pine went once the left elm went. The pine had two large limbs right in the vee of...

A big question I will always have if if we could have just cut the pine and if it would have come down without cutting the elms (ashes?). One (on the right side) was already mostly dead and the center one was right under multiple limbs on the pine, so it would have gotten wrecked. Could have...

I think I also thought that a trigger would make things happen very quickly and I didn’t want to be close when they did. With so much tension on it, I’d be afraid the back strap might explode off the tree before I was ready….it was starting to before I ever started cutting. As it was, it was...

@Tree09 only some places. Many are too soft. Homeowner got it stuck in the alkali off the road. @SeanKroll @Burnham I wasn’t about to try to bore cut that thing with an aggressive 36” .404 chain on the ported 395 I use for firewooding dry Euc. I chained it to prevent barberchairing, and I...

346 by @huskihl is a bad mamma jamma. I wish I had hung a 24” on it and done the whole tree with it just to say I did. Lots of cleanup. 4 trees, Two 28’ trailer loads of logs, one more today plus more limb cleanup.

That hinge is about 12” thick. I might should have cut more but I didn’t want to hang around. The popping and cracking shook the ground.

I wonder if I could swing that smaller pine enough to be a push tree. That would be rad. Nothing but a man and his saw.

@biggun exactly my concern with the lift. Been there with smaller stuff. We don’t want to make mincemeat out of this, big pieces, but they are risky. Limbs get drug out back and burnt. Logs I will haul off for firewood.

I don’t climb. I don’t think it could be worked down from the stump. I spose if he really doesn’t care about the other trees I could just cut them all. The trees closest to the house (call it left or south if we are facing down the lean, which is west) are most wanted to keep. The one on the...

Guy isn’t worried about other trees and is going to move lines. Wants a quick slam.

Going to be dropping this from a lift. Smaller one on the right first. Open to input, thanks.
