This was a dead Elm and it needed to come down because of the wind and power lines.
Plus I got some firewood.
I used the Poulan 505 with the Stihl piston. It sure does run.

If your weather is like ours right now. = cool.
= must be nice to get some cutting in.
Plus side is you use it too.

Yep the weather has been cool here too. This summer I have been doing a lot of cutting.

Here is a pic of some beetle kill pine that I have got this summer.

Three phase power to that house?
-
Dad mentioned he still wanted me to drop those bigger poplars on my land with issues. I mentioned this a few years ago in a thread. Cant remember the name of it.
But any how a amish place said he would do it up in lumber for 50/50.
Guess I know what I am doing when I retire and hunting is done. Because I sure dont want to mess with them dang chiggers right now. They tore me up last week.

There could be 3 phase to the garage right behind the house. The ladies husband had passed away last year and he was one heck of a mechanic from what I understand. I have not been in the garage so I do not know for sure but I see the 3 transformers on that pole.

what voltage is your 3 phase here in australia it is 440 volts

I believe it is 480 here.

Generally speaking we have 277/ 480 volt wye .However you can see about anything .240 high leg delta,120/208 wye and 480 delta .My shop because I'm somewhat of an electrical mad man has 200 amp single phase 120/240 .Through a series of a rotary phase converter and several transformer I have 240 and 480 three phase plus 208/365 which is used in Europe plus and auto transformer 240 in 264 out to run 277 volt stuff .Because my 240 service is closer to 250 volts it puts out around 270 volts .Jokingly I once told a bunch of apprentices that if I had enough transformers I could build a bolt of lightning .

That is a wide variety of power that is typically used for commercial or industrial purposes you have there Al.
When I worked on and installed Cat Scanners they ran on 480 3 phase power. We would check the phase rotation by running one of the motors for the patient table to see if it went backwards. If so then all that had to be done was to switch 2 of the phases.
I know that the 277v was used a lot for commercial lighting.

Long time ago,late 70's Ohio build a bunch of vocational schools, some rather large .On one such we had a bunch of air handlers to install .All the phasing in the entire building was the same .We installed the units and wired them all the same ,same make and model .About half if them ran backwards.So much for factory phasing .

Made another trip to the mountains yesterday for more firewood. One more trip and I will be done with the beetle kill for this year.
I should have enough wood for testing also.
