While you have the beast unleashed, come over and drop that big oak for me! You'll get about 8k lbs of 60" slabs so bring 10 gallons of gas, 20 gallons or bar oil and your bench grinder. You'll probably need a dozer too. I'll provide the beer and moral support. Let me know when you'll show up LOL!

60 inch slabs could be worth it....Very rare to find 40+ over ten foot. Cold be some Awesome Table's! Any Pic's?

Here's the tree. 361 with 20" bar sitting about 2 feet in front of the tree (make the saw look a little bigger).

Easy drop...nothing to hit but the ground too.

You Ready for a Road Trip? :coolhmm:

I'm 6'4" and have pretty long arms too. When I stand at the base and reach up there is about 4 more feet to the crown...so I'd say a minimum of 12'...but I haven't put a tape on it.

 

[Mmaul]

We are there. When? I could use a table.

Nice I think it would be worth the drive I would want 3 slabs sure MMAUL would like 3. That would 3-4 nice one's for your cut!

If you guys are serious I'll set something up with the homeowner (my BIL's mother). I'm 95% sure it won't be an issue but it is not my tree to give away either. It's not going anywhere!

Very serious! I think July 2nd looking pretty good! Is there a place to pitch a tent? This could turn into a two day job quick.

Plenty of places to pitch a tent if needed.

Yep...the thread i posted about cleaning up. I have 7 heaping F150 loads hauled out so far...about 3 more to go. Some of the limbs might be a little too big for my tiny 361.
