What's the biggest tree you've ever cut?

I'm a rookie of this year with only aspen worth harvesting on my land but this one was the first one i genuinely had no choice to cut each log in 2 side-by-side cuts. Freaking thing is wider than half a pallet and must've weighed 150 pounds +



What's your biggest trophy?

 

31"
that log is why I bought a bigger saw.
OK, more precisely, 3 more of them on deck is why I bought a bigger saw.
Plus that one I didn't have to cut down. The next three are standing.

31" red oak with an 026 pro with a 16" bar is a project

 

Yeah you can barely make it in 2 cuts! Must weight a ton, aspen is softwood and mine was heavy as hell i can't imagine

 

No pictures of the biggest but these will have to do !



These were not firewood but came from the same area .

 

jesus

 

These also were some good size .

 

How long is that bar?

 

36"

 

How do you even split that? Hell just moving it! All i have is my body and my chainsaw this one would have stayed right where it dropped, assuming i was even able to drop it that is.

 

For the really big ones Martin Denis ... ya gotta cut em by hand...

 

Ash on my property that was beginning to show signs of the eab.




Milled it.

Didn't fell it, but the largest wood I've ever sawed on was this oak. 42"bar.

 

About 38 to 40" for me on big beech blow over. No pictures though. That was probably 10 or 12 years ago.

Edit: Just a few weeks ago at Walt's I was cutting on some about 42 to 44 with my 24" Echo.

 

This has to be redwood surely?

 

I didn't cut it down but I cut what they left.

 

I am not brave enough for more than about 24".

 

Ha... yep. Biggest maple I ever fought with was about 4' at the base... but I didn't have to drop it, just pick up short chunks with our small crane and get it back to the farm... we rented a vertical splitter back then and got up to 30 splits from each round. Too big for me now. Biggest here is only about 24" oak.

 

September of last year. This dead white oak. Same tree in my avatar pic Next three pics taken of the stump from last Spring. First time i ever used a 36" bar on a saw. Stihl MS460

 

That is a big boi

 

That it was. Customer offered to pay for half of a new 36" bar as the longest i had was 28". Couldve done it with the 28" but easier and safer IMO with the bigger one! Had the opportunity to buck a 44" red oak log last Spring but didnt. The end of the far left, half black log is 44"
