Great Stevie cheers for digging out the pics! The main butt looks almost identical to the on I did with that included bark going towards the center of the stem. What a great looking bit o wood... Such a shame it's so so so far away like all that lovely elm. When I'm rich I'll get one of them big copters like you see on telly!

I don't know about the pics not doing justice - that is a monster tree!!

Good tip Bob
-
Well they are designed for the 880 and 3120 but a better saw would be an 090 I think... or a dolmnar 166 from what I've heard.
-
Yes indeed you do!!

Vented log bags with a my little swing crane - although it's making a few grumbling noises these days....
-
Nice work Dave - I bet that pop self destructed when it hit the deck!!
-
Yes it seemed to be oiling fine but you could feel the 880 struggling initially to get the chain speed up. The clutch took a bit of a hammering!
-
Cheers for the tip.... Yes I have been whacked by the string and that was why
-
Well I've been doing tree work for 8 years and no packing on of much muscle as yet!! In fact I think I've lost weight!
-
Cheers... can you remember what sort of sequoia it was? A sequiadendron giganteum?
-
Exellent Stevie! It sure came down with a thud!
-
Yes my 10 stone frame was being pushed to the max The 880 was struggling a bit I thought... One of those big old 090s would be better I think. You need more torque and low down power.

Lyme wood is really good for carvers although I don't know if there's a market to sell it in any quantity...

Had a sequoiadendron in Guildford to fell courtesy of Ben another arbtalk member. Was 7ft diameter at gob cut height. Tree had been struck by lightening 20 years ago but I have someone after the timber particularly the buttresses (hence leaving these on for the fell). Decided to try out a 72" bar. But of a pain to use really - you need to start the cuts off with a smaller saw so you can sort of rest the bar in the cut. Otherwise the chain just gets pinched off the bar when you start the cut Tree has a lot of shake in but still think I can get enough timber to make job worthwhile. Also may do a couple of solid benches... that'll be for part 2. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIZ3M_YIYDE]YouTube - Big sequioa felled with 72" bar and Manitou 420 buggyscopic.[/ame]

Excellent fun!
-
There is a definate very noticeable difference... I'm not really worried about the benefits ref environment and use it purely for convenience and health. No question in my mind whether it is/it isn't.
-
Nice work Tom - hope it was cooler there than here!!
-
Nice - not had the pleasure to mill London Plane yet...
-
Maybe the next one... this uns dead anyway so the root ball's prob started to get soft... although the bark is falling off the wood above ground I'm hoping the inside is still sound...
-
You have to put a vid of that up
-
Smart and very comprehensive - good work!

What would happen if I came in and pretended to be Josh? I'm thinking gives you a night off, saves you £6 and happy girlfriend!
