Tacoma at work

Been a loooong time since i been on TW. Bought a house recently and I have been puuting the truck to work! So far I've pulled 7 stumps, 5 loads of oak and maple and a tree off a banking.
I cut this big maple and it fell perfect. Except it hit the dirt so hard it sank a few inches. I dont like cutting dirt with my saws so I decided to drag it off. I grabbed mt 15' 3/8" chain and put the shackle in the hitch. I knew the tree was heavy and dead weight. Also I was pulling up hill in loose dirt. I put it into 4lo, locked up the diff and eased it into 1st. All 4 tires broke loose and I thought it wouldnt move. I turned the wheels and it grabbed. Tree came off no problem along with a lot of dirt. I know my knew neighbors think Im crazy, they were watching the whole time.



wet oak

 

Your neighbors are just jealous!
It's nice to see these Tacomas being used once and a while.
Nice truck!

 

I also ditched the spacers and installed Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners set the front at 2.5. out back i still have the tacotec 1.5 blocks with shims and the tsb springs.

 

Looking good, I don't miss those days. When I moved in I had a lot of trees to cut and haul. Oak and pine here.

 

haha maybe. Here are some pics at play.


Chicks dig tacomas too

 

nice saw

 

You have good taste my friend. The Poulan 4000. Its always fun to run that saw against the "orange" saws. Which I too have, but people think since its a Poulan its walmart crap. Until I start it. 65ccs, magnesium crankcase. Its a pro saw.

 

Fixed

 

Ill take my 4000 over any Homeowner MS 290-310-390 stihl.

 

i like em both. i have a little 16" stihl when a climb

 

I had a 441 magnum in mind actually. I agree the farmboss is a gutless POS.

 

441 magnum is a different story

 

Stihl FTW! Start everytime! Nice pics of the Taco!
