Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 06:48 PM

shaggs · 2nd November 2007, 06:49 PM

and no never enough.
did you get some weights from the crane operator for the lifts?
nice hiab too with log grab. is that baby yours???

where's the "free firewood" sign.....

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 06:55 PM

Lifting weights start at 2ton for the smaller tops and end around 10tons a the base.The Hiab is our baby and it can pick up to 4tons.The Log grab we hire in.

shaggs · 2nd November 2007, 06:57 PM

no more and den....nomoreanden

Eric Frei · 2nd November 2007, 08:54 PM

Nice, how heavy was this one?

Oh, by the way, dont be shy with pics, anywhere between 500px and 800px wide is good.

Eric Frei · 2nd November 2007, 08:59 PM

What happens to all that log?

Firewood?

Like who takes it etc?

Eric Frei · 2nd November 2007, 09:01 PM

What saw and bar etc you run for those trees?

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 11:31 PM

Thats over a year ago think it was around 6ton we did two tree trunks lifts that day.

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 11:43 PM

We run Huskys, two 3120's for the big stuff, 5ft bars with full chisel chain.We used to have 088 but had alot of problems from them leaning out and the piston would score the bore.So far no issues with the 3120's we have 17 Huskys working each day.

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 11:47 PM

We have a mate that takes all the larger wood and the rest we cut up for the public to take,It gets cold down here you know.The good logs we mill up and sell.

RC1 · 3rd November 2007, 12:49 AM

Slow down Ace, I'm running out of wall space now!

Ace Master · 3rd November 2007, 01:21 AM

RC1
You better build a bigger wall, there is more to come from down under.That was just a crane warm up.

RC1 · 3rd November 2007, 05:13 AM

Ha ha, gottya mate. I'll start by bricking up some of these windows, nothing really to see out there anyway. She'll get used to it....give it time! I'll need a beer before I get started though

Eric Frei · 3rd November 2007, 08:37 AM

My biggest saw is a 66 with 25" bar.

Eric Frei · 3rd November 2007, 08:39 AM

Cold, it gets cold here to ... sometimes under 10C but not often.

JohN Dee · 3rd November 2007, 05:09 PM

Great pics Ace, man you guys have some fun!

Do you guys mill the big timber or resell it?

Ace Master · 6th November 2007, 03:15 PM

JohN Dee
Most of the trees we take down are rotten and diseased (see by the pic's), we have mill some but only the excotics, the rest gets cut up for firewood.

Ace Master · 6th November 2007, 03:32 PM

You can still cut down a decent tree with a 25'' bar, the big saw get heavy after awhile,especially if you are climbing with a big sucker hanging off you.Some of the ropes are just as heavy man.

Only ever used an 088 twice, it was a real heavy, awkward mutha of a thing.
The crew i was with had bought it second hand from a stihl dealer,
it had seized and the owner never picked it after repair.

Apparently if you dont run em at full throttle all the time you'll have trouble with em.
Makes em not much use for residential tree workers.

No blipping with an 088
Just hammer the mutha!

As for everyone else,
get the hell out of the way
that thing will kill ya!

Jeff Darby · 7th November 2007, 04:48 AM

Hi Ace,& All
Big wood, Great pictures, We run an 084 manual oiler Stihl and it is heavy it gave me shoulder problems for a while (rotator cuff) it literally felt as though your arm fell off your shoulder with a sharp burning come cutting sensation, but nothing stood in the old girls way. It's nice to have Stihls biggest legal saw but I think the 066, MS660 is by far the better allround saw power to weight ratio. Our biggest bar was 28" but it just throw the towel in, I think we got just under 12 mths out of it with rotating it and good maitenance and we worked it hard. Me I prefer Stihl's but I dont think there's much differant between the two and probably comes down to personal preferance?? Keep the pictures coming love seeing some one else do the big wood, Some of the pieces you cut out is bigger than our whole set up..LOL.
All The Best

Steve Tipton · 7th November 2007, 04:12 PM

Still running an 090 for about 20 years now and it's done heaps. Also had husky 2100's and 3120's and 1 076 stihl.
All of them gave good service.

Sean Freeman · 7th November 2007, 04:43 PM

Best thing Stephen ever bought our 090 I love that saw!

Eric Frei · 7th November 2007, 06:33 PM

Where are you blokes getting them 90's?

No chain break on them so apparently not for sale here.

Steve Tipton · 7th November 2007, 07:03 PM

As mentioned, I've had the 090 for about 20 years. Done a heap of work and never had a rebuild. I can't believe I used to climb with it hang from my harness, couldn't do it now.

Sean Freeman · 7th November 2007, 07:16 PM

I assume we might have bought the last one in Qld, but thats just a quess, still I love the way she makes the biggest cuts go so smooth.....
