Not so. The hinge is still there guiding the tree. Just because your cutting downward doesn't mean there is no hinge to guide the tree. After serveral thousand trees over the years with not one single mishap there is no way I'm changing the way I saw em, no way what so ever....

Tom old boy, we disagree on something... I don't know jack, but.... I'd be doing a flat back cut and using wedges. I'd shudder to use wedges at a 45! and... the way you do it - pretty hard to judge or adjust your intersecting hinge point. Whatever... I see it's just a wimpy little east coast tree anyhow opcorn: - might as well just use a back hoe and forget the saw.

I know, and besides mine I can think of one other person on here with one.

 

[Highclimber OR]

For the record: I do not own a 650. Hey, nice little job and let me say that over the years it seems that there's more money in these little jobs most times than in the big ones. How many times have any of you done a sweet little something and thought "Man , I really wouldn't mind doing 10 or 15 of those a week". I now I have.

A straight back cut 2" above the face cut "notch" will give you the same effect and is more efficient. You have more control with the saw too.

But if that's the way you do it and are comfy with it... let 'er rip...

Gary

Yep,,,, and when you use the angled back cut you render the sights/top handle on the saw useless for gunning one off the stump,,,, and if you have a "problem tree" thats got some undesirable head or side lean and you need to wedge it than a sloping backcut can be a control problem also.....Bringing the back cut in a minimum of 2" above the flat surface of the the face cut gives you your stumpshot protection,,, Tha bigger that tree then as a general rule you would want more stumpshot,,, so the back cut could even be a little higher,,,, and if I have one that i feel has a good chance to jump and I l'll use the Humbolt face cut,,, and bring the bac cut iin another inch or two above my normal 2" above the face cut,,, that lets the butt slided down the slope and if it tries to kick the stumpshot does its job,,,,,,

THAll not trying to pick a fight just wanta see you stay safe dude,,,,,, I have personnaly seen that type of back cut get away and cause some major problems and it too had some of that fiber hanging on the side,,,,I will see if I can find the pics and maybe get Ultra or somebody who is less of a techno dunce than me to upload of down load them.....

Hey Thall

Even the best engineers of the fastest race cars are seldom the best drivers ... dont be too hard on ya self, ya trying. hehehe

 

[RaisedByWolves]

This made the day, his Sunday ride. Anyone know what this car is?

CROSLEY!!!!!!


No I didnt look yet.



*Edit, I looked, its small enough it could have been a Crosley.....

 

[THALL10326]

ah yes someone has hit the thall nerve again i see, it once was me, hey that rhymes

Haha, not at all. I sit here and grin the whole time no matter how I may come across with the words. I may sound alittle blunt and tease but what the hell, if ya can't handle the replies then ya shouldn't ask for em. This thread was more about the mans car than the tree. It turn into bashing the the sawman and to that I say cool, I love it. Why, no one has said a word about where the tree landed, right on the money. I laff because if it was cut so wrong why did it land so right, so much for observing the whole picture.

I admit I was alittle hard on Ekka but he couldn't wait to mouth off. He's still ticked at me cause I said a while back his site sucked and drawed no posts. Was true then and its still true now. Not my fault. Maybe I should sign up overthere and get that place breathing,LOL

Ekka hows the mouse situation down there in Aussie land, got it under control yet,LOL Maybe you should call in some enbgineers,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Ekka I know your ticked at me and ya know what I could care less. I can hammer you in the ground with one hand. You got about as much fire in you as a match, very little. I sit and grin knowing I'm getting under your crawl, you begged for it and you got it. BTW whatcha doing overhere anyway, don't you have a website to run, or is that the graveyard your running overthere. Glad ya stopped by though, are you?,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Even with that sloped backcut, you can make a tree land where it's s'posed to my friend. It will bite you one day, and I don't want to see that happen to ya. You're too valuable here.

I hear ya River. Aint no fighting going on, I'm having a good ole time. Next week I got another tree in town to take down and I'm gonna saw it exactly the sameway. See I don't pay any mind to what some may think, I do what works and has always worked for me. Can't teach a old dog new tricks. Fun to try though I guess,LOL

Not everything to do with trees revolves around chainsaws you know. Some-one just posted this today.

Also this is my first post in tree w?rld have read a lot and really enjoying everyones post and threads . I have seen a lot of the same names as on another site and tree w?rld seems to have a little less chainsaw talk so it might be a little more suited for me thanks .
