kinda silly.

 

[JesseHuffman]

no seriously, anyone have a good geustimate as to how much this thing might weigh?

 

[Norm_Hall]

Red gum (Euc)is 50 lbs. per cu. ft. green if you want to do the math.

How'd ya get that sucker loaded? Fiddle, or did you have a crane?

 

[JesseHuffman]

Fiddleblock wont even budge it.
I think I will need a crane and a little bit of stump grinding on the "hinge" side.
Im thinking the cost of the crane and the dump fees are more than 500...which is all they can afford on the stump.
Any suggestions?

- you could borrow John's airspade, clean the dirt out, and hack it up.

- leave it there until they can save up a bit more $$.

- superman would just chuck it out into space at the sun.

A tow truck might winch that onto it's bed.

The problem there is his appearance fee - rumored to be in the tens of thousands of dollars (US).

I was considering subbing this out to Heartwood
but they came in with a even higher bid then the S-man.
I say it is now habitat for cockroaches,scorpions and blackwidows

Can I get a Booya?

 

[easyphloem]

Boo-Na!



The problem with your description of our bid is that you are comparing apples to apples.

Superman has nothing on Heartwood.


It's simply a value proposition.



The bid stands at $47,980.50

Death.

Get a bigger tree and those things have killed loggers.

The stem can be cut and just sit there. A minute or a day day a vibration sparks movement beck to where the remaining roots remember.

-------------------------

Doug Dent was sent to investigate the disappearance of a faller. Pick-up was there, saw and gas were here, where did the logger go? Dent noticed that several of the trees were cut straight and no face or back-cuts.
They dug one out and found the logger. He had cut off the log, crawled into the hole to take a crap, got his pants down and was crushed to death. You'd thunk Greenpeace had gotten even.

A Faller in North Carolina was doing some easy work with his yound daughter present. She crawled in a hole and was crushed. The logger commited suicide the next day.

--------------------

Usually they return to vertical as they are cut. But be careful and never leave one not dealt with overnight.
