So sorry for your loss, you are all in my thoughts.
I might have misunderstood the thread.
Man, that's gorgeous. Dang it Scotty, apparently I now need one of these.
I am infatuated with them. I've had that one since just about new, and someday I hope to have a few of them around. I haven't got there yet, but...
Good thread! Which do you guys prefer for truing and finishing the end faces, belt sander or planer? I've been finishing the ends to 32o grit,...
Thanks everybody. I feel a whole lot better with it laying on the ground for sure. The chain going uphill was 3/8", with a 2 ton cable power...
You'll probably not want to recirc the exhaust with power the way you are showing it. It will be oxygen deprived, mostly non combustibles, and...
Ohhhh, dirt bike!?
It's a Doug Fir. Maybe 80'? I don't really know, I'm not good at that. That's a 28" bar on the 044, and it just about buried all of it.

I've been wanting this tree down for years. I finally felt like I had the experience and equipment to do it, so yesterday I rigged it up with two...
Looks great! I've got some dogs I'd like to put on this 044, but I'm not sure what hardware to use. If I was just going to get some at the...
Yep, Doug Fir. I wish I had some oak! I'm going to get a lot of practice on this one, I've got three more trees I'd like to drop right in the...
This is a great observation I would have missed. Pallet Pete makes a great point that a little cash will go a long way here, so I'll replumb...
Sounds like right about where I'm at with this one. I am into it as a project, but yeah, a few more parts and I could just have a new one that...
I tried it at full rpm and then came down a bit. It did respond to the load, but I assume there is a problem there as well. The engine bogs...
Hmm, okay....Fluid didn't look milky until I ran it. I'll check again tonight after it settles down. I was suspecting air from the return...
Thought you guys would like this shot of today's hoarding activities. I dropped the tree last weekend and got it bucked. Today I rolled the...
I was just playing with it some more, fluid is looking milky. Not too smelly. I ran it for a few minutes and used my IR thermometer to verify...
Thanks for the input, I was thinking the same but I am assuming this worked at one point. Maybe not though? Pump is a Vickers V10, so 10-ish...
