Yeah we try to have a good every now and then

Nice man. We had to get a 36 inch bad for this one. Thanks for watching and we’ll try to. Have a good one

Thanks man. Good luck with that tree. Make sure you record it. Not many of them around

@@hoskinslogging9858 i will for sure it's gonna make a bang, it's a really straight tree too might go veneer if im lucky and its not hollow

I hope it does

Thanks buddy. And thanks for watching

We fell in it the road. Just grabbed it with the dozer. Thanks for watching

@@hoskinslogging9858 Hoskins, did you count the Rings?

He’s using a 661 to cut it.

It was a thumper

Sounds like a bad outfit

@@hoskinslogging9858 hey just me n you talkin bout it caused 3 poplars to fall out back…scared em down

Thanks

Will do buddy

I think that saw needs a new plug too

Root flares are the absolute toughest part of a tree.

Super dry hardwood can sometimes be a tough task for even full size saws and sharp chain

Over 10 feet in circumference. A 10 foot choker couldn’t go around it. I may count the rings and measure the stump next week.

We’ve cut timber that big before though. I’m thinking this was well over 10 feet. Maybe 11

@@hoskinslogging9858 I'd say it was four and a half foot through or a little bit bigger here then I myself would've used a 46 mag to cut it down here cause that's all me and my ol bossman used to do it here too if he was still alive I'd still be cutting it too here but he passed away a few years ago now too and don't get mad when I say this but we never used any over a twenty inch bar on our saws here either now I'd made a little bit deeper lead notch in it and then I'd cut the heart out of it through the notch afterwards and then I'd walked around it and put it on the ground too here have a great day now

Yeah you can cut some big ones with a 20 inch. That’s all dad runs. It would have took a lot of spur trimming to get this one down with one. We’ve punched the heart through the face cut before. We like the 20 inch bars because they’re easy to handle. We didn’t want to risk pulling any fiber on this one though.

@@hoskinslogging9858 have you ever heard of the t cut in timber cutting before

North of 2000

I think it’s a red oak

@@brandywest388 it was.I have a bad phone. Lousy color..still a nice oak..ours in ny state very red inside..

@@timbarden4578 down here in wv red oak ain’t paying much but white oak is a top seller, and I completely understand on getting the species mixed up sometimes, I live in southern wv and I’ve went to northern wv and the species look a little different

@@brandywest388 same here. Ive been logging 30 years. Red oak was hot back then.now we go for the white oak& hard maple.our prices are very good right now.

Amen lol

Yeah he didn’t like that 3 foot bar much

You ever cut in the south? 95 degrees with 90 percent humidity? Some of that ppe will give you heat stroke

There’s actually a funny story behind that

Probably. I think that was a 32 inch bar

We cut 4 other trees that day and loaded the truck haha

What kind of tree was it was a nice size

@@trentonbanner2433 we call them water oaks. It’s about the same thing as a red oak.

Oh cool

@@hoskinslogging9858 i just looked up water oak and it says its a fast growing tree in the red oak family, I hope it produced some good lumber, some Friends of mine have some northern red oaks about that size and around upstate New York they're old at that size, but nowhere near as old as a white oak that size, and they are rare around here. Seeing trees like that is more of a nature park experience, because people cut them before they get big.

Chain was new. Saw needed a plug.

Cool

was your hundred and fifty year old oak on a 45-degree grade?

Takes patience haha. Crazy thing is the plug wire was broken on the saw in this vid

Didn’t find out till later. Thought plug was bad
