I cannot imagine under any circumstance choosing that method.

I run 24” 3/8” lp on ported 60cc It’s “baby skip”

Reaming a tree down, or “felling over the saw”. Not really promoting the method, it’s just interesting. No barber chair or fiber pull if you get it right. I don’t know why he didn’t just run all the way out the back. I have done this on small yard spars. It works better back bar plunging...

I just met with the guy with the deep cycle batteries. They are mine, I just have to haul them home. 24, 6 volt batteries from his off grid solar setup. Now I'm looking for a controller to use then as grid tied backup for the house.

3/8lp, so it may be too little for a 50cc, but people run that stuff on ms260's a lot. It was abused, but just regular sharp. I think the chain had a lot of stretch in one direction rather than an off centered nose sprocket. I thought it broke because of fatigue from the uneven stretch, likely...

How much back weight compared to front weight? The trunk looks reasonably straight. The crown goes front and back. Pulling/ wedging/ jacking force had to overcome that difference in weight plus bend whatever hinge is present. Enough oomph will tip anything. Once we had a terribly rotten...

With a real gnarly back weight I do the same, take it off, or pull it.

It’s funny that comes up. After slamming one tree after another for a couple days, I’ve got a lot of felling stuff rattling around in my nugget. Wedging is way harder on back weighted short wide canopy “yard trees” vs. conifers. The hardwood resists bending more. The center of gravity is way...

On an another tree, they nearly ran up our legs.

Needs that song, move bitch! get out the way!

OMG that squirrel 🐿️!!!! Best slo mo ever! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Was it a brand new chain or a chain that is cutting like an absolute razor?

Wedges aren’t that effective in trees with large canopy spreads. You might get the log to tip but the back weight can balance out a lot of wedge. My SOP for big pull trees is to cut some of the back weight off first. They had the gear on site it wouldn’t have taken that much more time to rig...

Multi-prong approach. I have wedged some big trees. A bottle jack, if you don't have a real tree jack is a whole lotta 'go over there" with plenty of tight wedges. I've only jacked big trees with Silvey jacks. He called for more rope force which went from whole lotta (insufficient) pull to...

The monster thin steel wedges they used to tip the redwoods before jacks. I’m not dumb enough to think you could wedge a tree with essentially cedar. I’ve tried euc and it doesn’t hold up.

Sitting too hard back, you would destroy a redwood wedge before you would get it to sink. So. Still no. Or did you mean "redhead" And still, hard head would serve better or magnesium IMO

I just meant if you were gonna insist on wedging, that’s all that would do it.

Fug no

Maybe some old redwood wedges
