I think the initial rupture would blow out most simultaneous sources of ignition, such as sparks from metal ripping apart.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Maybe, but the woods will still burn.

I remember an incident in MA.
Place had a gas leak, furnace I believe. Basement.
Guy went down with flash light, cllicked it on. Just enough spark I guess, there was now a hole where the house had been and not much left of the neighbors.

Perfect fuel/air ratio is key. Those new fire suppression screens they put in gas cans now to keep fire from getting inside and blowing them up, in my opinion, will not stop the fire if there's a good fuel/air mix in the can.

Sub 3 minute take down this morning.

Interesting no outriggers needed

It has a chart for working off the tires over the front and 360°. I don’t use it very often, but often it’s a handy option.

It's undoubtedly an amazing machine...but it would appear that a moderately competent faller with a chainsaw could have matched it on that one, in that location .

I'm just giving you a ribbin', Carl . Hat's off, that beast is really something. Congrats.

I'm thinking about the weight on that cracked driveway, plus the weight of the log, plus the rear weight shifted onto the front tires while holding the log.

It’s been a couple months since the bid, I remembered needing the lift.. when I pulled up I told the guy that started the job that I could flop that across the driveway, but I’m already here with the MRT so whatever… then I saw the broken limb in another tree I was supposed to get and it made sense again.

Meh asphalt driveway we’ve worked on for over 20 years, sitting still, and only ~2-2.5klb pieces. Tire pressure is only going to be so much.

I don’t have the lmi readout to calculate the weight on the front axle with that pick. Empty and retracted grapple is 24.5klb.

3 years and a week or two ago. Today’s tree’s tips are just in frame on the right.

 

[Burnham]

Yeah, that driveway isn't likely to get much worse .

You can make a nice explosion with a plastic 1 gallon jug. Get you acetylene torch burning perfect. Snuff it out and fill up gallon jug with some water in the bottom for weight. Get people way back from fire. Toss it in. My son did garbage bags full till he got smarter. Had the cops at his house. My stepson got woke up from a sound sleep over a mile away and thought he was back in the army. Howitzers or something.

I emptied a nitro fuel bottle recently, and decided to leave the cap off, light it, and watch it rocket down the driveway.

 

[Cobleskill]

The few times i have used ether to set a bead gets my heart rate up quite a bit.

This morning I cut down a couple of birches. I worked solo.

Chaga is very dangerous.

 

[SeanKroll]

My college employee is 6'3".

One old snag failed onto the new fence and drain field. I shortened the remaining snag by 60%.

Knocked down some saplings in the drain field. Shoved the old snag logs and brush off to the side in the forest.


Hung in a dual SRS "V" between 2 big firs; hunked down the standing spar without a lanyard.

@Maximalist That birch in the wet ditch must have been a real joy to work on .
