You have to have a back-up saw to unstick the one you stuck ;D.

Since I got my grapple back in 2012, I haven't had any stuck saws. I pick up the logs I need to buck. Easier on the back also.

I was told by my dealer that the best saw for sawing in the dirt and sand... was your neighbors saw.

. I have pinched a bar with a grapple but can usually get it out with the loader. most of my chainsaw use is within 100 feet of 8 more chainsaws.

Doc,
How did you pinch your bar with the grapple?

not with the grapple but despite holding it with one. I sometimes do things on an industrial scale. I got it out with moving the log, but you have to be careful not to crunch your saw.

1/4 cord of firewood

bucking a little ERC

brother in law following directions

stuff taken to harvest about 5 standing dead elm trees.

the last 4 are real. whole standing dead elms that flooded and died. cut to fall into the crates below. the first two I will leave you to decide. I think we would get along fine Brandi. usually it is a big tree only partially supported by the grapple

Good thing that strap is on the pickup load of firewood otherwise it would be a little sketchy.

Wow Doc, you can stack a mean pile of firewood!

Nope.

We would be arguing who would run the loader. smiley_argue01 It has air conditioning, right?

hugs, Brandi

Doc, that large tree in the photo. Is the letters ERC mean Eastern Red Cedar?

Is that you in the photo background with the saw?

btulloh · April 17, 2021, 10:32:12 PM

There's a bit of forced perspective in that erc photo. ;D

And after doing a bit of calculation on the pickup load of firewood, there's at least 3 or 4 sticks more than 1/4 cord. :D

doc henderson · April 18, 2021, 09:33:45 AM

the first 2 pics are jokes. the last 4 were mine. ;)

Doc, how many miles you have on that truck? My '01 has 354, and I still like it.

I carried it to get inspected last week, and it failed. Both turn signals flashed when the left one was supposed to. Everything looked fine from the driver's seat.

Expecting a terrible time finding an electrical gremlin, I slid under it on a creeper, hoping for something obvious maybe with the trailer brake controller circuit. The first thing I saw was the plug for the LED lightbar under the tailgate, so I decided to unplug that, and eliminate it from the possibles.

Turned out, that was the trouble! After unplugging it, I tried the left turn signal, and everything was working as it should. I went back, got it inspected, and we all had a good laugh about the easiest electrical fix Ever.

My 2003 Dodge dually has 417,422 miles her. If I wouldn't have retired early, I could have hit half a million miles, in about 3 years. 62 miles one way adds up quickly.
