It looks driven in at an angle to me. If have read any of the monkey wrencher stuff it is a common tactic to wreak havok on anyone unlucky enough to run a saw through it.OK, but how does any "man planted"/eco terrorist object become embedded and run vertically ?

Ahhhhh, at an angle makes more sense. I have worked in the VFD/Motor Drive industry and many of our customers were either sawmill equipment OEM's, or the mills themselves.It looks driven in at an angle to me.

If it was rusting or oxidizing in some way wouldn't the trees 'internal liquid movement' (I'm pretty sure there is a better term but I can't think of it) move whatever crap it is vertical? Shouldn't go too far horizontal since aren't all the trees 'veins' vertical?It looks driven in at an angle to me.

Am not an arborist so can't answer that. Not sure if searching for images or info on eco-terrorist attack methods is wise but will likely show similar things to what was shown.If it was rusting or oxidizing in some way wouldn't the trees 'internal liquid movement' (I'm pretty sure there is a better term but I can't think of it) move whatever crap it is vertical?

Scale that. I'm guessing your just a touch over for that single rear axleThis old girl is the best, amazing how much these trucks will move, off road. Watch your tire pressure tho, my shit was spongie w the extra two scoopsView attachment 7599708View attachment 7599709 I'm drinking fancy tonight
maybe only a little, things were gypsy rocking on this beautiful truck driving up to dump. and then you lift the bed. everything worked out good home boysScale that. I'm guessing your just a touch over for that single rear axle
Clearing a fence row for new fence today at my dad’s. Felled 12, 14 to go . It’s the same work as being on the tree crew, however, the pay sucks and I’d really appreciate a better loader operator (he’s 92 now). Bar chain eaters...

It's all fun until the frame snaps in two or you punch the scope out the top of the tower.maybe only a little, things were gypsy rocking on this beautiful truck driving up to dump. and then you lift the bed. everything worked out good home boys
Or blow a set of rears when the dump is up and lay that ho bag over.It's all fun until the frame snaps in two or you punch the scope out the top of the tower.
Be careful
Check this out. He did a good review of it comparing it to a bunch of the saws you have.Anyone run one of the 500i yet? Looks like a handy saw. Think I need one for the farm. Sounds like lighter than the 661 but plenty of power. Love the 661 but lighter might be good. Any experience here? (Current saws, 170, 261, 362, 441, 661 for reference)

The snow has finally melted enough, I was able to run mine for the first time, last weekend. Bucked up my beetle killed pine in about 15 minutes. It's a ripper, for sure. I put a bark box muffler thing on it. I need to get it in more wood. Only one tank through it, so far.Anyone run one of the 500i yet? Looks like a handy saw. Think I need one for the farm.

Nice! Would love to see it when done!Working on a black walnut slab for a customer. It’ll become a desk once I’m done with it.

what is that monster beside the house? Has to be 4' acrossGot some hickory that will be made into slab epoxy tables. Also making the firewood pile bigger but this stuff sucks to split. The red oak has spoiled me. View attachment 7596894
That’s a nice saw! I cut with its predecessor the 044. Perfect for just about all of the wood we were in. Light and balanced, so easy to buck with. It would easily dump anything up to 2 1/2 feet on the stump. It had no problem boring in and doubling through to twice that width.I rescued this Cherry before it made it’s way to the burn pile today. Pretty nice stuff.

Completely agree. I'm less worried about it being 27 ton than I am about it being a quality splitter. I do like the fact that it stands up on end but I'd really just like it to be well made and work flow should be efficient and well thought out.Ive got a 22 ton brave that gets fed 50 cord ok a year of red oak, ash, and elm.
Im not one to to tell you bigger isn’t better but I will say 27 ton for those species is unnecessary.

Have you looked into kinetic splitters? They’ll blow through most pine and aspen and will cycle 5x faster than a hydraulic splitter.Anyone have experience with the champion 27 ton splitter? I'm in the market for a decent splitter and all the generic "top 5" reviews seem to include it.
Any other splitters in the $1,300 range that you guys would suggest? I'm putting up 8ish cords per winter. mostly pine, cotton wood and aspin. That's Colorado for ya...
