pretty kew. I would rather hear the chainsaw than the music but thats just me. nice job!

 

[trimmerman151]

thats a big ash tree.

A) I love it when the client is willing to allow a whole tree to be dropped instead of chunked down! (sure it is less money, but it is nice to get on to the next job too...)

B) Straight forward tree to drop, but that tree well would have been a bad place to be if things went bad. I always like to have the escape route in mind - and it is not the same way the tree is falling!

good drop.

I have tried to turn it off but cant figure out how..if you do..lemme know

Theres a small dead hickory you cant see in the back ground until the tree is about going down..I picked up that one also..and another ash that makes that one look small..its prolly a 75'-80' footer..I love it when the saws screamin and people start wandering down to see what you're doin..LOL

 

[sgreanbeans]

Yeah, I didnt like that well either! Nice drop, Nice and clean, where are yur chaps Marine!!

My kind of music and my kind of saw nuff said.

 

[mpatch]

chaps?? can't tell

 

[puzzledmonkey]

Nice fell,good tunes

That wall screwed you for escape routes though

 

[The Count]

I can tell you had fun. but what was with that music ? were you trying to cover the owner`s crying not to cu the tree?

next time let the saw sing man....let the saw sing.

I like the stand between the camera and the forgotten rake technique....good slammer.

All that work for that well and it was apparent it wasn't gonna be enough from the start....oh well....it is what it is lol.

Well if I did that on my forestry exam- I would not pass- they ask our felling notch to be 60 -90 degrees - so with this thin slice I wouldn't pass- plus the holding part ( should be 10 % here ) wasn't there - and you should have a 45 degree back-away area from opposite of tree felling direction to do it.... Thats the answer for what my forester exam consisted of; plus of course chainsaw safety;upkeep; working parts; maintenance and right cutting depths and techniques - and of course +-4 feet difference when felling [from the center point (you pick the spot before cutting a wedge and its measured 45' from stump) is failed]

 

[TonyX3M]

Heck dont take it wrong- on everyday job I dont do it either ....

Hey it was not rap so i got to give him credit!

 

[forestryworks]

Looked good to me.

Don't forget to look up now and again though. The top tells you what's going on.

And make your backcut on the same side of the tree you faced it on.

 

[WolverineMarine]

That shag bark hickory is down now too..rotten pos..it was so punky I could only save 1 piece for smoking..once I got down I almost was ashamed I'd gone up it was so rotten..glad its down and gone now..oh well..off to another job! thankx for the input guys..have a nice Turkey day!

Huh? Never heard that before.

Please explain.

think he may have meant he wants to stand in the same place making the notch/scarf and finishing cut.

So many rules gotta wonder how anyone gets anything done.
