Hey all,
I'm wondering on a vertical coniferous type tree, how big of a snap cut are you comfortable with? I've always limited myself to pieces I could either throw or push off the spar unassisted. The other day I had a no clean up job, and was trying to figure what was faster, snap cuts, or lobbing off big pieces with a standard type notch and pull rope and or wedges? Does anyone trust the snap cut with big pieces, possibly breaking them with a pull rope from the ground? It's always seemed like a bad idea, but the other day it could have saved me some time.
On a side note, what is your SOP for locating underground utilities on jobs where you are dropping large pieces of wood? Thanks
Brock
