Cutters - how much m3 do you cut a day?!

[Brushcutter]

hairy green stika spruce thinnings, only 2 pieces of 2.2 pulp wood per tree, would be the making of u all:lol:

 

Sound like hard work to me. Prehaps there best left to people who need to learn about line thinnings dealing with hung ups and small tree felling. Ideal for people doing CS31:001_tt2:

Thinned out some over sized hemlock last week 2 1/2'-3' diameter, each tree was taking about 45-60 minutes to fell and sned, due to large flares that needed trimming, knocking in four wedges on the leaning trees, and vast quantities of brash that was tangled up in Laural.

Only do hardwoods these days. On a 10inch DBH 55ft (17m) tree you would generally get 4x3.5m products. Rough calculations on volume are:

 

1st length, average 9 inch so 0.15 cubic meter.

 

2nd length average 6 inch so 0.07 cubic meter.

 

3rd length average 4 inch so 0.03 CM

 

4th length average 3 inch so 0.017CM

 

Plus 0.07 guesstimate for additional branchwood product and secondary stems.

 

Total 0.337CM per tree.

 

In a reasonable stand with perhaps one in 10 trees creating more than a momentary hangup, I would do around 50 trees per 8 hour day, or 16.85 cubic metres. Last week I had a couple of days in easy 60-70ft, 12-14 inch DBH sycamore. Did 6.5hr days (excluding breaks) and felled around 22-25 cubic metres each day, cut to length and stacked where possible.

 

You mean mid-diameters above right?

Correct

Must be mid diamter roundwood volume i bet.

It is mixed woodland, and the owner wants them out

[Ross Macneil]

most i have done is 100 tons in 7 days clearfell pole lentgh, Useing two saw's one to fell the other to sned out.

Good post is this one. A lot depends on the weather and if it's a dark wood that's seen no humans since planting.

 

Hemlock's are the worse woods we have worked in but nice useful timbers.

Never felled Hemlock. I find the Orange or Yellow tinted safety glasses make working in the dark dark woods that much easier as you can see.
