The Official Work Pictures Thread

Trees actually lean away from houses up there? What would your ETA have been if it had been leaning over the house?

hahaha...I wondered the same thing.

 

[Grendel]

Haha, just skimming the cream.

Great pics everyone!

Had a chance to flop some trees whole, not something I get to do often. Rural property, internet clearing, plan was to climb and clear, but closer inspection I thought it was best just to flop two maples in decline and top off a tiny maple. One more maple to go, old lightning damage, dryed out roots, other property owner's tree, and they are away on vacation.

other property owner's tree, and they are away on vacation.

So that means "anything goes"???

Good pictures of that stump. Help me understand that "bar-tip cutout?" in the next to last picture...interesting. How did you do that and why?

 

[Raj]

Naw, Gary, it's still standing... for now.... going to wait for permission.

I have cheap wedges from the surplus store across the road from my house, they tend to spit out when you stack them. So I just did a small bar tip plunge and stuck a wedge in there to get more lift, tree seemed to have some weight favoring the back lean.

A clear case of Arizona root rot!

 

[pantheraba]

Got it...thanks for the splainin'.

It was pretty dusty. That little nylon mesh filter that came with this saw is not the best. I'd like to get the HD filter kit for it. . .

Naw, man, get a velocity stack from Madsen's. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...DraJhgjyytL2KYv5mIHjBg&bvm=bv.126130881,d.cGcWay more air, and they look cooler.

Peter: Really nice hinge.

Pretty nice Fir today. 135'x36"dbh. Had to rope every twig... tight like a tiger.

Love dem fine looking hinges stacked up in the truck. Love the block and sling too, Ive got the same one. Geez, got the same caddy pads too....

Why do the Davey boys use half a roof on their chip trucks?

 

[pantheraba]

That's about Benn tight...good pictures. A lot of hard work there. I liked the stacked hinges, too.

 

[mistahbenn]

LOL< I was just thinking, look at all that room! Speedline?

 

[Limbrat]

Tighter'n a tick on a hound dog there Jed. Good looking work. How'd your rope man do on all that lowering?

 

[treebilly]

I thought that too Ben. The zip line part for the brush at least. Pretty tight for the wood. Nice work Jed.

Lol. I had to make the roof on my truck a half roof after i got the ditch witch because where it pivots into the bed the control station would hit the roof

I hate my half roof, and i was wondering the same lol

Id love to redesign my body again one winter.

 

[Grendel]

Nice work Peter,

Jed, that was surgical man. Excellent!

 

[Jed]

Cory and Brendon: Yeah, the half-lid really sucks more than it can ever help you. Makes a huge mess. I think they send a few out like that so that people still have the option to load a bit of wood with our little knuckle-booms. I've done this maybe five times, but I've made a giant mess with chips flying everywhere five thousand times.

Ben, Rich... yeah... I thought about it, but 1) I didn't bring my zipline junk. 2) I absolutely HATE waiting on all the junk to get back up there. Andy's a master at all things lowering, so we were all good, but perhaps you and Rich could have zip-lined it just as fast.

Atta Boy, Jed!

 

[Merle Nelson]

Having a full roof that was slightly larger in the back half and could be unlatched and slid forward on rollers might be a nice option for some operations.

 

[biggun]

Tight work Jed.

Nice work Jed.

 

[RegC]

Jed, get a helmet camera. It seems you're getting lots if interesting jobs at this stage if your career. But who knows, a twist of fate, a change of direction and it might all be different this time next year. Be a shame not to have some footage of where you're upto right now.

 

[pete mctree]

Nice work there Jed

 

[mistahbenn]

Yeh Jed, get one! If you're worried about the editing , send me or someone the files to edit it all together. Be like jammin. Man

 

[Levi]

Hear hear.

I've seen enough hinge pics, let's see some Jed TV!

 

[Burnham]

Nice one, Jed.
