Your buisness looks like the vision of mine. We will just say that 38.5 ton altec is out in the field in the last picture you posted.

What made you get a Sterling chassic with that International fleet?
 
I hear ya about that Altec! Maybe 2006? We'll see.

We bought the Sterling because we wanted the 410 horse power. The INT they had was only 300 or 350 I think. Plus, the Sterling has some great features like power windows. That's a great feature on a big truck. When it starts to rain, or the windows are foggy....you know. It was just a great truck to put it on. It comes with 7 year 250,000 mile warranty too.
 
Bling Bling.......Who would want to put them indoors. Obviously you don't have the same problem my stump guy has. I had to ask him to stop writing bids in his brand new boss mustang! When he pulls up in his 40k car the customer sorta sees the big $$$$ coming. :) I think we'd get more jobs if he rode his kids tricycle to the estimate. HA HA

3 times I've tried to add to this thread, and my "darn" incompetance with this"*&#%*!?" computer keeps on losing the lot. I'll go the brief version and see how it behaves.

Gravity fed carburetors couldn't work on their sides. The cuts with early motorised saws were at 0 or 90 deg. They used "scratcher" chain which was developed from the crosscut saw. The "box" scarf was evolved.

The Humboldt scarf gives a slopeing angle at the front of the stump. This reduces the chance of breaking the "limiting" friction that aids in preventing the log backsliding over the stump when the scarf closes, and the hinge lifts up over the step on the stump. That is more likely to hapen with tall trees that do not have a clear line of fall.

Trees are often scarfed on the downhill side. For large girth trees the humboldt scarf is a much easier method and doesn't throw the sawdust over the faller.
 
Thats a nice bucket out there on the left coast. How tall was that oak and how many inches at the base ?? It looked like a huge tree and what did u do with all of that wood ???
 
how do

wow that was something, i really enjoyed it. i work for a rural electric as a lineman but have given the job of tree cutting here lately. i have little experience in felling trees (that was a real tree) so i have been cruiseing the net to learn.

i sure do appreciate those photos.

thank you
