Sunday Fun Day

[D8Chumley]

Helped my 2 best buds today take down his neighbors tree. He told me he thought it was maple, ends up being ash. Even had the big saws out Pic heavy



Got the 460 out for some work too. Noodled with it and my buddies' 066 wearing a 36" bar today. I'm in the fluorescent green hoodie It was a great day, even got some videos because we're just silly like that

That's what I'm talking about, that is a great way to spend the day. Wish I was doing that today all I did was move a couple truck loads of wood and stack some wood. You guys definitely had the better day awesome pics!

 

[HisTreeNut]

Very nice...good way to spend the day.

 

[D8Chumley]

So there's no video posting, or maybe I need to get one of my kids to help me? Lol

Maybe this will work. Me getting ready to finish the cut after I rolled the round over. This makes me giggle every time, 48 year old kid

 

[AmbDrvr253]

And they call that work.............LOL

Nice post. I got some white oak today, had a ball running my MS250 and my little Poulan. Nothing like that though. Some nice saws there. Like a cruise night for saws!

 

[D8Chumley]

It was mid 30s and cool wind blowing. Perfect for cutting and dragging to the chipper. Have to keep moving to stay warm. My buddies 6x12 Bri-Mar trailer was loaded to the hilt, and the back of my truck was full also

 

[D8Chumley]

And he has airbags too

 

[Soundchasm]

All the gear got some love, and that's a good day! Who you work with matters as much as the gear.

 

[D8Chumley]

That's the truth, I've been friends with these guys going on 35 years

 

[TheBigIron]

Nice tree, very nice selection of equipment. Looked like fun with friends. Do they burn as well? If not nice score for you.

 

[D8Chumley]

They burn...pellets, I got the whole tree. Now I have to get more pallets and find some time to split and stack it

 

[heavy hammer]

Even better! That is a great group of guys there. How much did you end up with?

 

[D8Chumley]

I'd say about a cord give or take. We ran everything 3" and smaller through the chipper

 

[baseroom]

Great day!

That pile (pic above ) is dumped in my driveway off to the side. It might be more than a cord there were a lot of limbs to that tree

You ended up with a nice score. You think that will be ready for 2017? Or does that have to season longer? Does ash take a couple of years to be ready? Good luck happy splitting..

 

[D8Chumley]

It might be if I needed it, I'd split it small. I'm 3+ years ahead with the mild winter after I split and stack all I got now. I'm sure I'm back over 20 cord

 

[TheBigIron]

Wow 20 cord... I am ahead cause we really didn't have a winter but not that far... I have 6 decent sized mulberry that my buddy is giving me and there are 3 small oak trees that need to be processed that are on the ground in my timber. Then I found a nice red oak but that on is about the size of the ash you just took down, and I don't have the friends you have....

 

[baseroom]

Ash dries fairly quickly Split it smaller get it in the sun Then topcover in the fall. Check moisture after the first of the year.

 

[HisTreeNut]

Very nice... Feel free to share the wood.

 

[D8Chumley]

Very nice... Feel free to share the wood.

When it rains it pours lol. I got ahead a few years back when I was laid off for 6-7 weeks because we were slow. I started last season with over 19 cord and I've replaced all I burned and then some. I'm going to a new job next week sometime and the clearing guys will be starting there also. I talked to the Super I'm going to be working for yesterday, he burns also. He said there's firewood there we can have. @HisTreeNut come on over I'm not stingy

 

[HisTreeNut]

Well, 9.5 hours for wood...do not think I can convince the wifey on that one.

 

[baseroom]

Ok then I'll come down from the Roc!
