Forestry felling

[Joe Newton]

Our lads are using 441s with smaller bars . More power

 

 

What are they running? 18"

[Firestorm]

Thats an 80 cc saw with a 20 inch bar, its quicker to bore cut in 1 side and do an ark around the back of the tree. Smaller bar cuts faster uses less fuel and easier for brashing out plus easier to sharpen! arb guys tend to use bigger bars for this, cutters know how to do it properly!!!

 

Now thats what i'm talking about!!!

 

These young uns don't have a clue.

PMSL. Actaully you're right, I sit in a cab all day getting fat

Did arb for 10 years, it not as physically demanding, you get free tea, cake etc. Earn more, spend it on too much uneccecary kit which then gets nicked while your trying to explain the what tree the customer has to them! Got Old and bored of that, wages mean nothing if you don't enjoy it. I love for forestry and u need to be the right person to do it, seen many arb guys come and last a few days. Basically large tree felling course will teach you to fell without a massive ungainly bar, it's not ax men here!

Reading the men mud and machines book sums up the type of person for the job even now

some nice pictures there nice old ugly butts buttresses trimmed up good

i used to find with large spruce you do all the work to square up the butt and fell with a smaller bar and you drop then only to find the begger has got butt rot

more money lost !!

 

Some dirty rotten Sitka butts to remind you of the good times shavey.

I don't mind clear felling but Sitka thinning for continuous cover you start to feel the will to live edge over as another hangs up.
