So 500i, 046, Husky 5something2XP - what's the fourth one with the curve in the top cover? I don't recall using or working on one like that before... Nice tree though, nice timber I'll bet too.

That'll be a couple of solid weeks on the mill!

I only have a little Poulan Micro XXV from the 70s.

Ah righto that works!

One of these down a day is more than enough effort. Especially when you have to cut steps in the trunk to climb high enough to make the directional cuts



The Nissan gives you some idea of their size



Used up all my wedges (a dozen) to prevent it falling into the neighbours... and still it no fall down.

The dozer redeemed itself by pulling it down with relative ease

Explosives would have been more fun. Seriously though I have had to double stack wedges more than once and have also employed a timber jack on one occasion

You will need a bit for next forum get together bonfire

We only need enough kindling for a medium sized bonfire...not a thermonuclear blaze seen from the space station!

Besides, these are over a k away from the burn pit. Asking a wee bit much of the dozer to drag them that far

The old bush men used to break down logs to get them to a skid site....leave the slash behind unless you want it for firewood.

There's almost no millable timber on these. A couple of 3 m lengths at most. These trees have just branched ridiculously once they got 3m off the ground.

But a shit ton of firewood



42 inch bar on the 395 for this one.

Hey-soos - that's what you call a tree...
