That's a nice jag of timber there jack . Nice straight and super tall very few branches. Quality stuff .I run my 84 quite a bit on really big hardwood. Makes quick work out of the wood when your cutting right next to the ground to get everything. Have fun brother 💪
Nice drop, my daddy always said that if 1 will be enough, 2 should about do it, and 3 will make sure you don't Ave to d it again anytime soon. This coming from the guy who built his porch using custom milled 4x8x16's for planking and no, 40 years later we have never had to replace them yet and don't ven get me tried on his 150 lb porch table that's top is only 3ft by 5ft.
@@tomhudson1757 It's Westside of Cascade Mtn. Range here in Oregon was cut over in the 1800 early 1900s...the timber he was cutting is the next generation after the first cut of virgin timber...you can tell by its size and form class...virgin old growth Doug Fir is way larger in diameter...biggest one I have cut was in the Umpqua River Basin area...was 119 inches across Not a round...circumference. That is 9 ft. 11 inches almost 10 foot this unit had big wood in it the trees were all over 4 1/ 2 ft. A real pumpkin patch...made good money there. Take care Shoe
@@robertshoemaker6204 ah right that’s good to know, I just hear a lot of fallers use the phrase “second growth timber” and always wondered what it meant, i know it sounds obvious but when you look at the size of these firs it’s hard to think how long ago they would have been planted. It’s a bummer here in the UK or wood is half the size of your cedars and firs, our native woodland mostly consist of deciduous trees which have a slow growth rate, biggest size bar we’ll bust out is like a 28” max. One day I’ll get out in Canada n get some real logggin done for sure ✌️
David hi. Lessons, lol. Cuz Gary worked in Alaska and fell some nice sticks (both fir & redwood medium sized old growth) out on the West Coast. He does "purdy goodly" all by "hiself". Thanks for watching.
The double snowman is never overkill haha! Cousin Gary nails the shot and the family reunion moves on without turbulence..............for now 🤣. Safe cuttin men
Up here in British Columbia,the biggest bar most guys use is a 36”,you can cut 8 foot cedars with em still😎. I used to heli log and we would sometimes have to rip big 8 foot spruce in half because they were too heavy to fly. We would use 088 or 090s with 5 or 6 foot bars,8 foot bars for the 090 were available but we didn’t need them.
Showed up in a neighbor's house one day with my 64 Stihl to help him trim up a tree that had fallen in his yard. He told me that saw was too big. I told him the only chainsaw to big is a man too small.
Hey, I’ve got a 462 that’s been ran over by a truck. Crushed some plastics and snapped the spark plug, screwed up both handles. However the critical components seem to be fine. I’ve got it all put back together and when I go to start it it will pop a few times but not start. After it’s popped a couple times it won’t anymore and it starts smelling like gas, if you pull it long enough fuel will drip out the muffler. Is there anything anyone can think of off the top of their head that I could check into next? Thanks.
There must be spark because it pops like it’s starting. The ignition coil is new. It came as an assembly with the spark plug boot which I had to replace.
"cognitive recalibration". Now there's a term you don't hear in the woods every day. At least I never did. I like it though. A good sense of humor goes a long way when in dangerous stressful occupations, like military combat and tree felling.
Robert D hi. Depends upon where and how the hitter tree lands on the hittie tree, how the hittie tree is laying, i.e. suspended, cantilevered, etc., how big the hitter tree is as compared to the hittie tree, the species of the trees, etc., etc. So, maybe. That's where a guy that has felled in a lot of locations, over a lot of years, dealing with a lot of the different species gets a "feel" for the process. Thanks for watching.
Jeff hi. Technically speaking, its anything over 20'. I've cut 6' 6" redwood that was shipped for lumber. What I am talking about here are 40s. Some of the bigger trees from the stumps in the foreground had 3 40s and a shorty. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 I never thought of it in those terms. But since anything over 20 is broken into two segments for scaling that makes since. Three 40s in Colorado would be some tall tall wood!
Had my neighbor's 880 out today to go after a 4' fir that fell over on a road... pile of headaches... leaking gas out of the fuel cap, fixed it, leaking out of the tank breather valve, fixed that, leaking out of the little grommet where the fuel line enters the tank, chose to ignore that since the tree's flat on the ground already so the saw could stay vertical... got it running... thing dies after 10 seconds... tried a bunch of stuff blowing out the fuel line, blowing out the carb with carb cleaner, cleaned the plug, etc.... it just kept repeating that behavior... finally concluded his diaphragms are toast and it's carb rebuild time... I returned it.

Ryan hi. All but the 088 of Gary's fleet-o-saws are Huskys. I know from personal experience that it is hard to go from one saw to another and get the cuts to match up perfectly sometimes. The balance & handle positioning from saw to saw is just enough different to affect a guy's "minds eye" once getting use to "X". A lot of the time, I will miss match the cuts on purpose. This is to have a specific effect happening to the tree as it is going down. We will be watching some more fun from this area as time goes on. On a personal level, I was impressed at how well the chain handled coming in on the bias as he was cleaning up the the Dutchman. Thanks for watching.
yourneck2 hi. I personally know it's a struggle to switch back and forth between saw models, but especially brands, and get the corners perfect sometimes. I actually added a lil snippet in the description area when posting this video. There are times I will want one corner "off" specifically also. So there is that aspect. Cuz Gary was using his 562 & 288 most of the day until right here. I was actually impressed at how well the chain handled the sliver cut on the diagonal. We would have missed that part had the face "just fell out". Thanks for watching.
How is a longer bar overkill when you’re falling large timber then a few smaller trees it’s just faster and simpler to keep using the same saw rather then walking back to your other saw. Dad fell timber logging for 27 years always using a 56 inch bar when falling bigger timber when it wasn’t as large he went to a 46 inch bar never used anything shorter it just made sense to use the same size on everything rather then several different saws. Its the older ways that work best always learn from those who have at least 20 years experience. Its not overkill it’s efficiency make as few cuts as possible and get the most done as fast as possible it’s just how logging is when you get paid by the tree instead of by the hour . In other words being paid by scale . The saw he preferred was the sthil model 064 and later the sthil magnums agin always using 46-56 inch bars except for on one season he was falling giants and went to a 64 inch bar . His time logging was in the late 70s to the late 90s so things where probably done differently then today’s logging. Back then it was old school my gramps logging company who dad worked for ran 2 D5 cats 2 skidders 1 timber jack the other a cat and 2 loaders both where cats so with a small company you worked as efficiently as possible wasting little time getting things done. His company lasted till 2020 dad had already retired from logging by 1998 and we to other work.. as a foot note my family where loggers for 4 generations starting with my great grandfather who fell timber using handsaws and axes and logs where moved by steam donkeys then by rail to the saw mills later he ran some of the first chainsaws made and later tought my grandfather how to log who then many years later started his own logging company that my dad worked for then later I did though only during the summers when not in school usually packing the saws and equipment then later a bit of wedging piling brush cutting brush with an ax setting a few chokers and later learning how to operate the road grader he used to fix and maintain the logging roads at 19 I went to other work keeping my promise to dad that I would find better work since most logging in California was being shut down this was in 1997 . My cousin stayed in logging a fewer years longer before going to other work as well. So I’m sure logging has changed some smaller timber being harvested is one change I have noticed most logs I’ve seen on the trucks coming down off the mountain on hyway 50 where not bigger then 2-3 feet across instead of the 5-10 footers on average with a few 12-16 s I grew up seeing being loaded on the trucks No they where not redwoods. They where cedars yellow pine sugar pine Doug fir white fir SilverTip fir and lodge poll pine. The biggest logs where either cedar or sugar pines.
Dan hi. I do not consider this large timber, hence the 42" bar being overkill. I started busheling ~ the mid '80s. We (Gary and I) tramped to redwood country after getting out of school one spring. We did it because they paid by the thousand. If a guy wasn't afraid to hump it up and had a little skill he would do better monetarily. Big saws with long bars wear a guy out quicker. Just the way it is. It's better to maintain a good pace for the 5/6 days worked in a week imho. For me, it made more since to use the saw and bar length that was conducive to the timber, ground contour, and brush load. A lot of the time a guy had two saws in the strip. One with a long bar and one with a medium bar for chasing the trees. At the very least, I would have a couple of bar length options for a single saw if that was the drill for the day. If I was running a 42" or longer bar then it was a 2100, 084, 3120 in the early years. Later, a good running 395 would handle a 42" nicely. I never thought the less than 90cc saws had enough power to pull much more than a 36" or 42" bar personally. In my neck of the woods, I fell 10 to 16'ers. I watched many trucks getting loaded. For highway trucks, 8' logs bunk pretty "goodly". 12 to 16' logs do not bunk unless it's an off highway truck. So it is either a lowboy for maybe up to 12'ers with flaggers or they get split in ½ or even ¼s. Sometimes they were split just because of the weight so that the "log" could be loaded. The differences we discuss might be from the varying locations. I know the big Sugs can be heavy from felling them. The Cedar trees I cut were always light when compared to the redwoods. Thanks for narrative and for watching.
@@hotsaws101 dad ran 2 or 3 saws and usually would leave one at the truck unless he was straight falling and had guys fallowing him to do the bucking and liming which was usually the case on road trees. On those days he put the 2 saws at the end of the string there fuel tanks apart meaning both saws where full and the last saw would be about where the second would run out of fuel. I only saw dad running shorter bars at the end of his logging career and only because the forest service wasn’t letting anyone cut the bigger trees so it was smaller timber 2 feet across was a big tree. Like I said this was the last 2 seasons he fell timber before being forced into finding other work thanks to the clinton administration shutting down all logging on forest service lands .
Exactly. I think we all know there are plenty of people that consider a 661 with a 32” a very large saw. And then a 395xp with a 32” is very normal size saw for all day cutting. Eye of the beholder.
Austin B87 Stihl is behind. They ONLY make felling saw now. 70 different redundant models. Husqvarna seems to be focusing equally to top handle and that’s an area worth addressing.
Valerio De Santis ciao. Molti mulini su questo lato dello stagno non apprezzano il rigonfiamento nel tronco. Anche i tronchi rotondi sono più facili da caricare. Inoltre, quest'area diventerà il sito principale. Tutti i monconi verranno tirati. Anche un moncone più alto di 6 pollici facilita l'uscita. Quindi, l'ha fatto proprio bene. Grazie per la visione.
Restoration Farm hi. Long time fir fallers know (well should anyway) that the worst place to gun a fir is into the big, 'ol, flat landing. Top chunk-age is what you get. This was set up to aid in a soft landing in an effort to circumnavigate the Kaboom and save the tree. Looks like it worked! Thanks for watching.
Hello there, love your videos ....But your cousin Gary is too hyper- he needs to have more finesse like you ..I hope i can say that... we still can be buds rite ........
Everything that is wrong with selling professional saws to amateurs. No PPE.. no holding wood. His cut wasn't horizontal because he can't handle a saw with such a big bar.
Wade - I take exception. 1st off, both of us started using saws before chain breaks were mandatory on all units. Gary fell in Alaska and lived to tell also. Here we have a hard hat, rubber caulks, & foam ear plugs. PPE should be up to the operator, IMHO. Not someone in the insurance industry, that's never fell a tree in their life, analyzing data and pushing legislation. Are chaps a good idea. Yes. Can they be a detriment in certain conditions, YES. What you choose to wear is just that, however. Using your noodle while paying attention is the best form of ppe also. Plenty of holding wood. He relived the near side as tree was going down in an attempt to guide/alter the flight path a little. It was quite the stump patch at the 3/4 mark. So,,, your bad there. I addressed the bias cut whittling in the description area when I posted this video. Because - because I knew there was going to be that commentary on the misalignment. If you have never missed your cuts then you never felled much. Your bad again. There are plenty of epic fail and idiots with chainsaw videos out there. Feel free to soapbox there....

Austin B87 Stihl is behind. They ONLY make felling saw now. 70 different redundant models. Husqvarna seems to be focusing equally to top handle and that’s an area worth addressing.
motosega ben arrotata però tagli troppo alto
Valerio De Santis ciao.
Molti mulini su questo lato dello stagno non apprezzano il rigonfiamento nel tronco. Anche i tronchi rotondi sono più facili da caricare.
Inoltre, quest'area diventerà il sito principale. Tutti i monconi verranno tirati. Anche un moncone più alto di 6 pollici facilita l'uscita.
Quindi, l'ha fatto proprio bene.
Grazie per la visione.
@@hotsaws101 ti ringrazio per la descrizione dettagliata , sei gentile e...stai in salute
Wheres the KABOOM ? there's supposed to be earth shattering KABOOM
Restoration Farm hi.
Long time fir fallers know (well should anyway) that the worst place to gun a fir is into the big, 'ol, flat landing. Top chunk-age is what you get.
This was set up to aid in a soft landing in an effort to circumnavigate the Kaboom and save the tree.
Looks like it worked!
Thanks for watching.
I like over kill
Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Hello there, love your videos ....But your cousin Gary is too hyper- he needs to have more finesse like you ..I hope i can say that... we still can be buds rite ........
Everything that is wrong with selling professional saws to amateurs. No PPE.. no holding wood. His cut wasn't horizontal because he can't handle a saw with such a big bar.
Wade - I take exception.
1st off, both of us started using saws before chain breaks were mandatory on all units. Gary fell in Alaska and lived to tell also.
Here we have a hard hat, rubber caulks, & foam ear plugs.
PPE should be up to the operator, IMHO. Not someone in the insurance industry, that's never fell a tree in their life, analyzing data and pushing legislation. Are chaps a good idea. Yes. Can they be a detriment in certain conditions, YES. What you choose to wear is just that, however.
Using your noodle while paying attention is the best form of ppe also.
Plenty of holding wood. He relived the near side as tree was going down in an attempt to guide/alter the flight path a little. It was quite the stump patch at the 3/4 mark. So,,, your bad there.
I addressed the bias cut whittling in the description area when I posted this video. Because - because I knew there was going to be that commentary on the misalignment. If you have never missed your cuts then you never felled much. Your bad again.
There are plenty of epic fail and idiots with chainsaw videos out there. Feel free to soapbox there....
@@hotsaws101 I appreciate your reply..and I apologize. You obviously know what you're doing. Stay safe my friend.
Nice Humboldt cut there to get the most out of the timber.
Would have liked to see more hinge wood.
