True, True, I cant remember exzactly why we did use it More than likely our over saws were in for a service..but I tell you it sure did slice and dice that bad boy real quick, John usually uses our 365 for the thicker palms on the way down,when we can't drop them on the full...horses for corses..1 less chit stick![]() JayD ![]() ![]()

Indeed. One of the coppers I worked for last year.. We were the 2nd quote there. They told the first guy to piss off, because he was there trying to get unreceipted cash outta them lmao. Speaking of coppers, I got a call the other day from some guy pretending to be from some sponsor group for the police... Anyways to cut a long story short, I asked him for his badge number and he said stuff ya then and hung up! Ha! Dam con artists.

I see they get them long branches down there too. At least they're not slippery powder white limbs like other gums, you can shuffle out there OK. Bad spot to work, would have been a real bugger on the ground dealing with them long limbs in that gap. Plenty of slewing and a GRCS would have been handy to winch them up!

Jeez gotta dust off this ol' girl and get her live again. I tell ya what after working on those Cypresses at Mt Wilson every tree including this one seems so tiny to me now... Took down this gum tree on thursday, all up it took about 6-7 hours to dismantle. Got a hell of a bloody kick back when the nose of the bar split on the 200, lucky it kicked back into the wood I was cutting. So we rushed down and bought a new one set her up and away she went beautifully. ![]() Canopy Shot. ![]() This gum was that snappy that when I dumped this limb I'm out on that it smashed itself into 4 separate pieces. ![]() Few more limbs down. ![]() Descent for lunch ![]() ![]() More clearence limbwalk. ![]() Chunkin' it down. ![]() The height is alot more then what it seems in this pic. ![]() Taking off a few more chunks with the 66 before we felled it.

Hey, This contract was fell and slice -n- dice,Which was great as it was all up hill, Once it was down it took about an hour to dock up the barrel.....It was funny one limb we bombed out actually planted itself into the ground and I couldn't pull it over so I felled it to get it out ![]() A good job and I'm glad it's behind us now! ![]() ![]()

Nice pics JohN Dee, I just have one question. If those things are as dirty to work on as you guys say, why are you cutting the head off first? Wouldn't it be cleaner to install a tagline with a throwline, and block it up on the ground? ![]() And the other guy watching you grind the stump, isn't that the branch MANAGER? As palms don't have branches, what did you expect him to do?
