just spotted now in the video when i watched it that i used the wrong picture for my hinge cut,i have a few of them stored on my PC,i meant to use another one with a normal typical hinge cut,the one i used is a pic when the tree falls backwards and wedges itself,i had not this problem today it was a perfect cut as you can see in video,tree falling opposite way rarely happens unless you do the wrong cut!

ohh well i guess i'm intitled to make one mistake editing the video :msp_wink:

thanks,

well spotted,yep some of the top of it was going a little rotton,but 90percent of the tree was fine and solid,it wasn't even gone
so bad on top because the massive limbs were stretching out far around over the stream and they were quite long.
as you said i was nervous though with the falling of this tree because at any time an over head limb could have cracked off under pressure and could have came down on top of me,fortunatly though all went well :msp_smile:

 

[drkstaunton]

just watched the new videos and they are great,thanks for sharing,it looks like the 440x torq is going really great for you,i can't believe some of the limbs that you have managed to cut with it,you are sorted with the amount of wood you have,as i said if you ever need a hand let me know!! i got my parts for my 61 and must do a thread here soon,so have you tried one of the new chains for the 365 now? the ones with the longer chizzels,more life in them

yes derek,i am very pleased now at the moment with the 440,it is a truely superb saw in every aspect,more than enough power to handle large timber.

at the moment now we have a nice lot of trees felled and are bringing some wood to the depo to cut to firewood.sales are slow right now because of the time of year it is but i want to stock up and start seasoning it for the coming winter.


i fitted a new chain to my 365 saw today,derek it's the one you were talking about the new type oregon chains with larger chizzels.
