Good for you then. Cause you know, it's not like I spaced trees for a couple of years or anything.:roll: Throwing chains was not a big issue for me but it was part of the job, happened to anyone who was moving fast enough to make a buck. When cutting with the top of the bar as Willie said if...

Top of the bar? I think you mean the bottom. I've always found it much easier to throw your chain while using the top of the bar. When you're in a high stem count block, throwing chains is par for the course. Not a matter of if but a matter of when.

Except me and Spydie are talking about two different things. Stumpjumping is a term I remember from treespacing. One cut right through, twisting the bar near the end to shoot the butt in one direction and cause the rest of the tree to (obviously) fall the other direction. Fast with limited...

Stumpjumping is a technique unto it's own as I'm sure you know. It's not just nescessarily cutting and pushing a small tree over with no face. It involves a 'twist' technique near the end with a angled cut to shoot the but of the tree off and cause the tree to fall in the direction your aiming...

What sort of chain set-up? Did the tree barberchair badly/violently? And where was it tied off? How high? My thoughts being that if it was tied off quite high and pulled on really hard if there was any kind of weak part in the tree it could potentially fail before it pulled over with no...

Exactly. I have used the no face cut before. Reserved for trees small enough I can just push them over where I want them to go. Anything bigger than that gets a proper notch.

If you want to keep the tree at the stump, chain the tree to the stump after putting in your proper face cut would be a more reliable method imo. Three times, makes no matter imo a machine could pull or push trees over all day without face cuts. That's how we log here for landclearing for...

Why bother? Why not just use a proper face cut and not put yourself in a situation where the tree's gonna barberchair? I'm voting no on the no face cut method. Using that method his pull line is the only thing that is steering the tree with any effectiveness. With a pull line and proper face...
