Thanks for caution to everyone who is planning on pushing their trees. My wife lost her uncle about 8 years ago to a tree falling on him after he was bumping with tractor. No roof cage was on tractor!!
Best tree cutting skills I've ever seen ... Master Tree Cutter in my opinion ....
Boy that 400 sales it’s self to me every video! 😂 Hopefully I’ll have one by the end of the year!
Good job Tim! Lots of great lumber there!
Take care and stay safe! God bless! ✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You did a fine job on those awesome white oaks. That could be some prime stave bolt material. But I think the stave mills take logs now rather than bolts....maybe(?)
Back in the early 1960's my dad and I had some huge trees like that. I made bolts for 3 months in the summer before my senior high school year. Best job I ever had....and extremely lucrative! I was making $1.25 per face ft of the split bolts (each bolt was 39" long) but only the first 15'-20' of the tree was 'good wood'. Most 'working' people in that era were making $1.50-$2.00/hr. and gas was $.23-$.25/gal....(about a $1.00-$1.50 a day was spent per family for gas....we didn't go anywhere...lol).
I could only swing that splitting maul 6-7 hrs daily and I was worn down to nothing. We usually cut 2-3 trees a day each...80-95 bolts total for both of us. We cut and split 4 days and hand loaded, hauled and hand unloaded the 5th day (3.5hrs per week was trucking). Usually our total income was about $520.00-$550.00 per week for 35-38 hrs of work by each guy ...and one old 1300lb grey horse...lol.
Aaahhh, the good old days, bring 'em back!!!
Good work as always. Looks like several good logs with the exception of the hollow one and the one with the bad spot. Hard to beat white oak for many uses.
Excellent work, that stihl is a workhorse, fantastic! 28 inch is great!
You are a professional at cutting down trees. those trees were way to close to the house. Thank you. God bless.
Miss Piggy is so happy to be in the wood's today. 😮😅😅😅.
You continue to amaze me with your felling skills with every video, another job well done.
Thank you Mr Kenneth
Great job. I run a 20in on my 400 I was wondering how the 25 was working out for you.
That white oak will make some great boards it’s getting hard to find around here
That yard is similar to mine before 19 trees were lost to a down burst in 2020. Amazingly, no tree hit the house or the garage. All of the downed trees went the same direction.
Mighty work Tim and Mini and of course Ms Piggy👌👍🙏😎
Good morning Mr Tim. Hope y'all are doing great....me on the other hand...I'm as sick as a dog. I hate being sick. I get really mean when I'm sick. I hardly ever get sick..as in like a common cold or the flu. I think I've only had the flu maybe once or twice in my 40 plus year's. Hope your having a great morning bud.✌️👍🙏🙏
We prayed for you. God bless.
@@131dyana aww thank you. God bless you as well. 🙏🙏
Tim you are the master of your trade great job great video thanks
Good job and Ms Piggy did her part
Love the 400!! And the 500 too!!!💪💪
How old you reckon those white oaks near the house are? Nice straight trees at least 2 of them.
Nice job!
Another job well done! Been looking for a 28" light for a long time...
They’re hard to find right now
Always enjoy your vids, thank you!
I'd love some feedback, on the following thoughts:
As I consider getting an MS400, I'm reading that the bar oiler barely handles the recommended 25" bar.
To run longer than 25" bars, people are swapping the stock oiler - for the high output oiler for bigger Stihl saws.
On some Stihl saws, there is a pin that restricts the adjustment screw of the oiler; people just drive the pin into the housing - to get more adjustment.
Thank you, and have a great day! 🙂
On any saw, always turn the oiler wide open. The saw is designed to run out of gas before oil even with oiler wide open. On the stihls that have the pin to limit u from turning wide open, take that knock that pin in and then turn it rest of way and ur good to go. The saw puts plenty of oil out for longer bars.
@@cotontop3 Great advice, I'll open my oilers - just to be sure.
I recently had low oil flow, from a sawdust-plugged bar. Perhaps wide-open, might have prevented that.
I've also read, that some new Stihl bars have reduced size oil holes - so people drill them out for better flow.
There is always a lot to learn about chainsaws and felling, and I've certainly learned from you. Thank you!
Perfect cross cutting Tim,
Do you think the bark box made a difference in the saw?
Your really liking those sthil saws anymore. Don’t see u using the husqvarnas much anymore
Got to meet your buddy Rooks this morning getting fuel at Ecru. Gonna try to catch him on job sometime when I get done early and he is close so I can watch the TreeMec in person
That is pretty cool! Yeah stop and watch that thing work.
When I see such chippers I wonder why it does not control the feed so revs stay somewhat constant. Could it be that for example for a big tree and slow feed to keep revs constant, the tree would just turn into powder?
Im running the EXJ on my 400 right now. I think I like it just a little better than the EXL.
The j is square ground.
@cotontop3 actually the EXJ is the skip tooth version of the EXL
It just hurts me to see all that firewood disappear. I just turn my head away. Ha Ha.
great job cotontop
Great video thanks for sharing
Hi Tim, did u fix the stump grinder, what was wrong with it few weeks back. Thks
nice zaw man
I've got a question my dad logged out on the west coast, and they cut their notches in the stump and not the tree I was wandering what's the difference between the two.
Not a 100% sure but I'm figuring because he's cutting them so close to the ground. That's why he's notching them like he is.
What mix ratio do you run in your saws? I run 40:1
50:1
Did you make a video on how you mix your fuel?
what’s your opinion of the west coast dogs?
advantages?
Nice
Stock oiler?
Another great job💪
I took down a lot of trees but not a pro so i can´t figure out why you cut backward from the notch side?🤔
Because the hinge is made first.
