I know the Sequoia"s are HUGE but other than them what is the largest tree you"ve ever seen and what is the largest you"ve ever cut up? As of today my neighbor and I are almost done cutting up the largest tree I know of around here, at least that I have seen. It"s a white oak tree that was close to 7 feet in diameter at head height and over 9 feet in diameter at the base of the trunk. It broke apart at the main branch about 10 feet up and fell 4 different directions about 4 weeks ago. The two largest pieces fell one direction into the guys front yard and hung up on the top of the trunk, and and two fell the other way and just missed the guys house by a few feet. Thankfully it is hollow at the base as it will make cutting up the trunk a little easier but many of the limbs, especially at the main branch areas, are still nearly inches in diameter so cutting them with a 20 inch bar has been a challange to say the least. I"ve been picking the chunks onto the trailer with the crane on my service truck after we whittled them down as far as we could and so far the largest one has been around 4500 lbs with many more in the 2500 lb range. Needless to say we"ll both have plenty of firewood for the next few winters..... If I can figure out how to do it again I"ll post a few pics of all the fun we had cutting this big critter up.
