Cutting bushel is hard!

[MatthewMMeckley]

I hate falling eucs but these aren’t so bad. We have been smoking this job and may only have another week or so until it’s done. The company owner is hoping they just add another spot after seeing how quick we got through it.

Cool post, good luck over there!

Signed with husky and no husky on hand?!?! Wth!

I'd love to hear what you think of the 572 if you use one, it's the best 70cc I've ever used.

Cool Trees indeed

Cool job you guys.

After working on that steep ground and brush this is probably a dream job.

Hey now there’s something I’ve done a bit of, brittle no-hinge eucs.

Maui has some fatties standing and down that could use a saw.

Try an experiment for me if you will/think of it. Gap face high back cut vs. low back cut. I suspect low might actually hinge better.

I have a 572 being shipped here! I can’t wait to run it, my 592 is currently being rebuilt after it got smashed. I have a mentor of mine my other 592 as appreciation for believing in us. Very thankful and thanks for the support as always.

Just got on this thread. I see you got to rub elbows with Ron Grove. I met Ron in 95 when I was 18 and managed to get myself a cuttin job with Columbia, in Leavenworth Washington. I liked him from the get go, and ended up getting to work on Reavis' crew with him and I had the privilege to work with him in Humboldt county from 99-02, busheling for Columbia. Really value my experience there...I was a boy amongst men. Too bad I was so reactive to poison oak. Had a couple of bad wrecks on the job there as well...but, by god I would do it all again...except next time I would try to keep a better attitude. Here's a few pics of my time down there. The one of Ron was right after I got there, in 99, and was double jacking with him. The big tree that I was cutting was not long before I left California.

Woahhh I love this, that’s cool and glad to meet you. Ron is an outstanding guy and I heard Jeff was a stud. I find myself thinking I grew up in the wrong time. I love this shit and thankful for the people before me. I got to cut a two jobs that Columbia flew. Wish they still did it more, my last job out of Scotia was the hardest but best experience of my life.

Good to read you Cody.

By god, you as well pardner. I love my memories and really value my experiences when I was busheling. Jeff was badass to work for.
