[Bixler]

Yeah Cory, that tile cracks real easy...

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Too little pulling power means cut more, to some people.

 

[stig]

"some people" shouldn't be falling trees.

 

[Limbrat]

Nice promotional video for ol' Alex

 

[murphy4trees]

those are some serious gems.. all good finds...


Here's a vid I out together a while back.. its unlisted right now.. planning on releasing it with 25 more new ones.. a preview for the house

 

[Mick!]

Good vid Murph.
Question;
Rather than duplicate the pull with two ropes, would the other rope at 90 degrees have helped more?

 

[cory]

Murph do you push many trees like that, sans rope?

 

[pantheraba]

Good deal, Murphy...sure does save a lot of rigging when you can drop it whole...like the idea of two ropes, too.

Cory, what do you mean "push"? Just playing with words?

 

[cory]

Push the tree over with his skid steer instead of pulling with ropes. If it is pushable, it is of course a lot quicker.

I have not seen this one before:

Dude cut the hinge?

WTF...did he wedge it TOWARD The house??


??

 

[gf beranek]

From what I can see in that video the rigging was set in the tree well enough to pull it, but the fellow in the truck never made the move to do it. All I can figure is he was waiting for the call to PULL! In the meantime the faller cut the hinge too thin and the tree went to its favor.

Through my career I've seen more pull-tree scenarios go bad than you can shake a stick at. All I can say is, "Just setting a line in a tree does not guarantee its lay."

 

[flushcut]

I shake my head at the last few videos. Wow!

 

[sotc]

Jerry, that truck was spinning it's tires in the grass before it went sideways. I'd guess dutch cuts and skinny/no hinge

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

"some people" shouldn't be falling trees.

By some, do you mean almost everyone shouldn't be falling trees?

 

[Chris E]

Yep, no-one else but us

 

[pantheraba]

hahha...that's the spirit...WE know how to do it...you other guys just GIT and leave those trees to us!

 

[FireFighterZero]

I cut down a couple of trees once. No houses were damaged at all.

 

[stig]

By some, do you mean almost everyone shouldn't be falling trees?

This is where the imp in me would love to say, only loggers should. No-one else are qualified


Jim, out in the middle of the prairie where you live, where you can see to the horizon and never spot a house, I guess you can get dispensation from the rule.

 

[cory]

Dispensation...Where do you get these words when English is your 3rd language, Stig?

 

[stig]

Simple:

Dispensation----Dispensation

Danish-- -------English

The pronounciation is different, that's all.






Dang, that killed the magic, didn't it.

It is my 2nd, BTW
I learned English before German.
Then Latin and Russian, both of which I have mostly forgotten.

 

[cory]

Is German a difficult language to learn?

 

[stig]

No more than any other language, I'd say.

They do have the oddity of putting the verb at the nd of a sentense structure, that takes some getting used to.

Once you've lived in a German speaking country and spoken it on a daily basis for a while, no problem.

I have spent too much time in Schweiz to speak a pure German.
The Germans always think I'm from Austria.

 

[cory]

Like: 'they do have the oddity of the verb at the end of a sentence structure putting, that takes some used to getting'?
