Just got back from trying it out on a bigger hunk a wood and still liking it. Heading back down to the side of the swamp.
WOW Can see the power by how far it's throwing chips. Good sharp chain too Perfect size log for the saw, good test Seems it passed with flying colors More fun to cut the big stuff , + it makes the stack grow fast
Nothing better than a good sharp chain dave. Except maybe having the whole crew helping out Mrs loon loves this picture. Buddy even got involved for once.
Your safety supervisor & your ferocious guard dogs. A great team effort , & Family affair You must have to always wear rubber boots even after the snow, bet you step thru to the water often ?
So far so good for staying dry down there gang. You can see right behind the bike all the flat white which is all frozen foot soakers dave but it can be walked on lightly. The elm in the middle of pic is one of about 50 that i have found and plus they are up outta the thin ice. I want to get some more of that swamp maple out and i kinda have a dumb idea, which i might try today. And will take the camera.
There was a TV show called "Swap Loggers" You'd fit right in. LOL Looks like you have an almost endless supply of dead standing & down stuff. The new saw got you motivated , Past few days you've stacked up some a lot of wood. Keep your saw dry
Got one out but it was not fun dave as the mud kept sucking me in. They will have to wait. The $120 poulan did it's job on the sawbuck. Heading back out as it hasnt started raining yet.
Good team work, 2 cutters make the stacks grow fast Those pictures show it well. looks soft & turning soupy the more you drive over it. You got a winch to get out of trouble ? You need some cold temps for a few days to firm it up. Chains help but they just tear the ground up even more. Amazing that you can skid it to a firmer area Lots of prime wood out there, but getting it looks like a real challenge. Your persistence is paying off Rain , that's just what you need, eh?
I gotta look into a set of these LP. Got one of these dave but it's always back at the house. I keep reminding myself of last Dec ice storm and couldnt get back into the woods. So as long as its do-able i'm in... Last load tonite before it got a pouring.
Seems it's fairly solid ground under some spots, trailer tires aren't sinking in. Bet you learned the hard way, what areas to avoid Looks like you washed the wood off in water, a floater ?
Firm enough out of the root holes which will make a guys feet come up very quick. The last pic is some wood i cut last year and forgot about.
Thats a nice trailer Sav. They are calling for a not so cold December here so i'll stay up outta the swamp dealing with a bunch of dead elm which were found.
