Seems like insanity to me.... usuing a chainsaw from an orchard ladder????? not too bright...

 

[NickfromWI]

In all fairness, they do reccomend callling an expert for trees over 25'. That's better than some advice we've seen out there!

Seems like a good way to Darwinian selection.

Hmmm........ A chainsaw off an orchard ladder isn't too bad for an experienced operator but the majority of trees that are less than 25 ft in height can be felled with one's feet firmly on the ground. If the operator needs 'how to' instruction he/she shouldn't be sawing from a ladder.That 'how to' demonstrates why blanket "How Tos" don't work well for tree ops.-If you don't already KNOW how to do it safely call someone who does!

Warnings:
Wear safety goggles and leather gloves when working around flying wood chips.

And just think. I been doing it wrong all these years.

Ha! Buy a $200 orchard ladder a $200 chainsaw and risk ones neck to cut down a tree shorter than 25 feet.

That link reads more like a recipe for making chicken soup than it does for tree removal. LOL

All it needs is a 16 inch chalk stick and I could cut firewood. Everyone compalians that I cant make them the right size.

 

[NickfromWI]

Oh, john, that would be the coolest!!!! A stick that stuck out the side whose length could be adjusted for the size of firewood you wanted. As you made the cut, the chalk marked the end of the next piece!

Oh, I need one!!!!
