What if it Snows?

LOL...not in my neighborhood they're not.

 

Okay but you transposed the numbers...it's still not a 640.....its a 064. Maybe it was an 046 and you goofed those numbers up, too?

LOL...on top of all your other medical problems maybe you're a little dyslexic?

 

Could very well be, who knows. A little detail is always the devil in the works.

 

No problem. My younger brother has been a timber faller and logger all his life. I checked on the "mystery saw" before I replied. He'd never heard of one either and he's been running the big Stihls since the late 60s.

 

There are 2 big pines about that size up where I cut firewood that I have had my eye on... The one is dead and I can cut it, the other still has a little green on the top so it can't be cut yet... But they are about 150 feet from the closest spot I can get a vehicle to, so I havent dropped the one yet... I need to figure out how to get it out after its on the ground. The 2 of them would give me enough wood for a whole winter and then some.

 

Could you fall them, buck them into 8 foot lengths and then drag them out to the road with your pickup? If you can't pull direct maybe you could set up a snatch block and pull 90 degrees to the logs.

 

Rent a couple young studs on the football team for a day and buy a 18 wheeler of buckskins (they make a game out of it)— that’s what I do when I encounter a problem like that.

 

Bought an MC 362 a couple years ago with a 25” bar — not tough enough to handle the big saws anymore— it’s a dandy, pretty light and easy to handle.

 

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinking of trying... But they are awfully big and the pull would be up hill on a very steep grade. If I had access to a decent sized bulldozer I know I could get them out, but I'm not sure a pickup would have enough pull to get them up the hill... Even if I ran a block and tackle it would be iffy.
