***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, scholars, Bama persons. Good to see Brosky has made it to the party. This new pacle wouldn't be the same without him.

I love my new Stihl MS290.  

Cut down two large pines and one small one, carved them up and threw them in the fire pit in about 4 hours.  The difference in using the stihl was like night and day*.

When I say large, I mean may 20" diameter trunk and 30 -40 feet tall. That's about as big as they get in my pine forest (which is probably 2/3 the size it was when I bought the property, still over an acre though).   I have at least two back there that are real 'large pines', they are flipping huge, I am not experienced enough for those.

Not to insult, but a few notes.

Green pines are the easiest trees to cut.  They bend before they fall; many trees suddenly break.  

Just a bit of warning.  The wind is the key.  Never expect a tree to fall against the wind, even if you cut a big wedge.

If it's calm (no wind), stand under the tree and look up.  Usually you can tell which way it wants to fall by the distribution of limbs.

I'm trying to find the insult...  Dont see it.

Pines are almost all I cut.  There are some dead trees I cut up every once in a while that are whatever, seems to me like the center of these pines are just as hard as anything I have cut, but no matter, I have the right equipment now.

I learned the wind lesson yesterday.  da#@ thing was leaning down hill, I cut a huge wedge, and it still fell with the wind.  It was ok though because I knew it was a possibility. 

I just meant 'no offense', seeings how you been cutting trees and probably know this already.  But I decided to post it so our friends wouldn't get mushed under a tree.

That's a big tree.

Don't know the record number of cars for one tree, but this one's in the running.

That's the European record holder I think.

NY winner.  Biggest tree on a car registered in NY City.

It's a good work out too.  I am sore as hell.

I try to save the wood splitting for late fall. Aside from the fact that wood splits easier when it is frozen, the workout will warm you up on a cold day.

I cut for tree removal, not firewood.  I love my hardwoods, they are staying.  It's amazing how much they thrive once you remove all the pines around them.  Years ago when I bought this property I cleared about a 1/2 acre and all the hardwoods I left in that area went crazy.
