The work that you're doing right now is what I did up in northern Oregon for my dad and my grandpa we logged a lot in the winter time because the ground was harder and is easier to move the logs around and our logs were 32-ft long well actually 34 because we had to have trim for the mill and we were logging Doug fir and ponderosa pine watching you dropping trees in that man working at skitter is freaking awesome
Oh I’ve cut em way higher, pretty amazing to see eh? 🤪Did you watch past the first minute? Old fence line in a few of them, hence the high stumps on those ones...
Nothing wrong with top-chaining with a smaller bar. I don’t like felling on the underside of a leaner and there isn’t always room to flip the saw when you cut low stumps for a cable skidder. Also saves walking to the other side of the tree, which seems silly but day after day it’s the little things that make the job easier. Hope that makes sense.
Top or bottom of the bar doesn't matter really, for felling if you don't have a full wrap handle it can be easier to flip the saw rather than walk around to the other side of the tree.
@@joelsanford no one I know in the east uses a wrap around,, too cumbersome for smaller trees, I live in Eastern Canada, when cutting a larger tree than your bar, you borecut using the backside of the bar saves having a long dangerous bar when most of your trees can be cut with a smaller bar, too many limbs, western loggers do not have the brush we deal with in the east, trees like that down here are in a park
@@kevimc I'm in the north east US so I'm familiar - we have small trees and big trees so I have small saws and big saws :) I have a 95cc full wrap handle saw for felling and 50 cc and 70cc saws for bucking and limbing and dropping smaller trees/brush. Don't get to use the big saw often but on the bigger trees with usually dead centers I find it easier to not be trying to make the bore cuts line up so the longer bar is better for that for me.
660 0801 Matches the inner spike without the roller catch if I remember right. But the slightly larger spikes with the roller catch is what I prefer. 1122 664 0501 fits with slight grinding.
@@makincash3337 Slash 👍🏻 it’s generally just left in the woods. Occasionally I’ll do a job that requires cleanup(house lot clearing or making a field/lawn). We’ll chip in those instances
What size bar? 24? I use a 20 stihl ultra light bar and hand cut in southern Maine and New Hampshire. Where is this video taking if you didn’t mind me asking.
Yeah 24, my first one. I’ve used a 20in for the past 10 years. Light bar will definitely happen next time, it’s a little nose heavy with the regular 24” This is in Thorndike.
Nice work. Grew up in Hampden, cut a bit in Hermon, Newburgh, Dixmont years ago, always less hassle when the ground was froze up... now living in the Adirondacks, lots of similarities but lots more bugs in the wood. Hopefully they stay outta Maine as long as possible
We develop needle roller bearing,which is essential part of the chain saw, if you need for maintenance,home DIY or enterprise production of saws, contact me freely.
🤣what? In order to cut a Humboldt you have to cut a higher stump...waste of wood as well. Need low stumps for a cable skidder anyway so conventional notch works here.
Awesome relaxing music but you can still hear the saw purring away!

Great video. Clark was the best all around cable skidder ever. I had a F66 with 5.9 Cummins.
I worked in logging for 17 years very hard work.
love these videos sawing and skidder twitching
love to see hand cutting and cable skidder brings back good memories no one shows the rest of the story
That double take down was nice
my two best friends were loggers they lived in Doverfoxcroft Maine miss them two guys
Hey Dylan can you still buy Cling Tuff bar oil in Maine I use to love that that bar lube
I’m not sure bud. We use TruSouth lately. Clings good and available locally for cheap
Loving the Little Yellow Beast! 💪👍😎
Nice job stay safe buddy 🚜
Love tree work
I used to live and work in NH & VT. I sure miss the smell of fresh cut hemlock.
Hey man nice videos! If you live in central Maine and ever wanna get rid of extra wood let me know!
awesome video
462 my next saw. Just can't part with my trusted 440...
I still have my 440. Use it occasionally but will never get rid of it
Same here but using a newer 462 in the coming months, wondering what will be my daily powersaw in the wood? guess time will tell all.
Never saw anyone cut stumps so high

Awesome stuff.
Thank you!
Why do so many from the east use the top of the bar? Isn't the saw made to work using the bottom?

Where did you get the outside dog for your saw?

@@dylanguay thanks so much!
When you are bring a full tree up with the skidder put the bullad on the ground.
What happens to the slag?
What ya mean by slag bud?
@@dylanguay I may have used the wrong term
The brush and small branches.

Dylan Guay - 462 is very nice with the 25” Light bar on...

Why you leaving so much stump?
Old fence line in a few of them
Saves chains and he can pull the stumps later with that skidder
upside down under cuts????waste of wood
