Quote from: Skeans1 on June 21, 2018, 09:01:18 AMJust curious how tall are these trees most of you guys are dealing with? The ash in this case was probably 75-80 ft tall. The big poplar that landed on my Logrite was well over 100'. The Allanthus on the power line was probably 70-80 ft tall. Most of the time I am also cutting on a steep slope. The trunk of the tree often lands 10-20 ft from the stump it was cut off.

Yes bigger Doug fir, the only time you’ll see us get up on boards is a far side is beyond your reach. Normally spruce out here you’ll see stair steps put in the sides the guys will use instead of boards. Has anyone here played with red alder before?

Has anyone here played with red alder before?I've cut several down, just for firewood as I didn't have enough for a log load. Just about 2 feet diameter. I was worried about them barber chairing or something like that but they all went down nice and were not rotten in the middle.
