Triple Redwood Cluster On A Stump,,, All Kinds Of Fun...

Filmed in October, 2018.
My, then, pristine Husqvarna 181se bottom end mated with a 281XP top end 281. The 181 pistons are like hen's teeth. I'm saving the ones that are new or in really good condition for future build projects.
This is the saw that my buddy Dave in Ireland likes so much. With good reason, it BARKS!
There was a fair amount of monkey business required to get the merchantable tree on the ground and saved out. One short log and 3 long logs to the break. Another mid-length log in the top. Well worth the effort for the landowner. The mills were paying the highest price I had ever seen for logs that year.
They (Husqvarna) quit making the 181s in '85, not '87.
This "281" can be seen in numerous videos on my channel. WidowMakers Pull A Big Fir Off The Shot with a 42" B&C combo - • WidowMakers Pull Big F...
You can see the fir form the video 281XP Husqvarna, All Day Chain, Stick Trick Revisited - • 281XP Husqvarna, All D... - at the 33:48 mark down the hill and to the right.
Sporting a 33" bar & chain combo here. 110 drivers of .375 chain. It appears as though I had "my grind" figured out for the redwoods in this strip.
At the time of your viewing this, I may, or may not, be immediately available for custom saw modifications. I am booked out several months regularly. If you are interested in having a saw zipped, please shoot me an email. That is the best, first point of contact.

Those goofy 2nd and 3rd growth redwoods sure look like a challenge Jack. I think there is more skill doing what you're doing than the virgin old growth redwoods. Having cat like reflexes is a must. Your saw chain looks to have the perfect grind for the coast redwoods. Quite impressive. Thanks for bringing us along.

Steve hi. It's a different, albeit equivalent, skill set to be proficient on tte NorCal Coast. Since you reside locally, and having worked in Redwoods, there is certain degree of nuance that you understand. Concur. The chain was dialed on this day. So God was smiling on me there. Thanks for the riding along.

@PicklesBrandt Жыл бұрын

I'm a bit curious why you didn't snipe the face cut and snipe the adjacent stump, as it seems that would have probably gotten the butt on the ground faster and prevented breakage. However, from what you said, it sounds like that top wouldn't have been that useful.

@hotsaws101 9 ай бұрын

Redwoods do better hitting flat generally. Even though this was slightly uphill, it was only a 15 or 20 foot span for the 1st log. These trees were pretty tough also. At the 27:04 mark you can see it just shaved the bark off the bole. Tte shot was to the left of the upper stump cluster. I just grazed one So I didn't think it was necessary. Thanks for watching.

Jack I know that's a tree Jack and they are expensive I don't fall for a living however there are instances where I want to use one of my 12 ton bottle Jack's would you advise using them if not why? Good video buddy!

@hotsaws101 Жыл бұрын

Rich hi. IF,,, and only if, you (me, someone, etc.) can wield an axe with authority, here is the point of reference: When a guy can swing an axe well and it's a 5lber, then a 12" hard wedge like the K&Hs is good for about 10 tons. This comes from using a 4 & 5lbers and 10/12" wedges in conjunction with a jack in trees spanning multiple decades. So, a 12 ton bottle jack is not good for much in the way of lifting trees if they are ; big, tall, or hang back very far, and/or any two of the above, and/or all three. Limb weight is a consideration as well. Case in point, my Featherweight Silvey will push 26 or so tons at 10,000 psi. I've had the guage past 15k more times than I care to count... Bottle jacks are designed to be used on a concrete floor for the most part. Need at least a steel plate for the top. Maybe even the bottom. You gave no indication of the wood species. That might also provide some insight. To say yes without standing there to assess your situation "wood" be foolish on my part. One of the quickest ways to get in trouble is to start in on a back leaning tree under geared. The same can be said for under experienced. A line my be a better/safer alternative. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching.

If you could elaborate, what is the rule of thumb for log lengths with diameter in mind.

@hotsaws101 Жыл бұрын

The Forrester generally makes the deal with a mill. Sometimes it might be 2 or 3 mills depending upon the species and/or size of the timber. There are some mills that like certain lengths because they sell the lumber, consistently, to the same retail outlet(s). Sometimes it can be by diameter breaks. I.E., over a certain diameter on the scale end is shipped "over there". Units can have multiple diameter break specifications. Sometimes a unit will have diameter breaks based on the butt end of the logs. Logs that meet that spec get shipped "over here". There will be a discussion before commencement on the cutting initially. The information will be passed along to the fallers. Sometimes it is on an actual bucking card. They will then buck accordingly. It's important to note, I have seen where markets change and you will get a different set of bucking criteria mid-slope. I've even seen where the bucking spec gets changed a couple of times in a strip also. So to answer your question, for certain mills there are general "preferred lengths" that the faller tries to utilize. It can be bases on a diameter criteria, or not. And, back to the thought that mills can change the requirements if/when a different end destination for the finished product arises. Thanks for watching.

Hey this comment isn’t directly related to this video but it is about huskies lol. Do you ever watch the iron horse ol Harvey Ben putting together some crazy saws lately they made a 86 cc 372 I guess a company making top ends that bolt on well with some piston work an I’d probably want make sure my bottom end can handle it the power but was wondering if you saw this an if you got any thoughts ,?? I think there making a 90 something cc and 100 cc top end for 372 as well but as long as they don’t tear themselves apart that’s goin be a game changer imo to get that kind of power an not have it about blow up an be a actual work saw man I can’t wait to build one.

Scott hi. I do not. Any of the Chinese kits that I've looked at are crazy junk. Poorly shaped bores. Excessive tolerances. Cruddy ports. Crappy port timing. Thin plating. Etc., etc., etc. I have not seen where they will hold up for millions of board feet cut. The Taiwanese kits are a little bit better but still have issues. Meteor kits are pretty close to the oem versions they replace. If it's one of their's, it will probably do okay long term. As a side note, there is a video of a 461 on this channel running even with a good 088. Sporting a 42" bar. .404 (heavyweight & wide kerf) chain. Stock bore. So, down over 45cc and 2.6hp stock for stock. The 461 probably had 6 or 700,000 (Read days of run time) board feet of timber, scaled Scribner, under it's belt at that point. Funny how there doesn't seem to be a bunch of raving about that saw... It's not always about the displacement. Thanks for watching.
