    Momentum/ speed helps poor hinges. Pull hard and fast enough and the tree goes where you pull it. We weakened and ripped down a horrible maple against the lean with a small skidder's skookum winch. No hinge. Too rotten.

    @davidwyby Super tight parking on a small island with 42 houses jammed in. The little trailer (5k axle) was good for chipping into, from both parcels without unhooking the chipper, hitching the trailer, moving the trailer, unhooking reconnecting to the chipper blah blah. Crash pad for...

    They're good. High sound reduction. I don't wear that helmet typically.

    Yes. I do this same thing to prevent barberchairs and to slide off sizable/ machine-handleable/ millable maple logs. All kerfs, no face. Basically leaving a square/rectangular peg of central holding wood that gets 'Coos Bay'-ed off.

    Tear-limiting undercut near the collar near the base first in case of premature limb failure. The offset is large enough to prevent interfering with the release cut, I think. Good cut. Coos Bay may be less risk of a bound saw compared to boring.

    Beranek's Coos Bay felling cut vs. Burnham's

    A game changing cut for releasing big limbs!

    Leaner

    Doesn't look like a bc-prone species. Pine? There should be an anti-bc thread for techniques.

    Leaner

    How tall? From the looks, it is not close to 95'. Chaining the trunk can help with barberchairs if not using other means of controlling BC (or with other means). What's in the lay?

    2 root pulled red alders. One self-supporting at 60⁰ish, one laid up in the neighbor's hollow as a drum red alder that will be going away.

    Brilliant! Laying a tree down gently

    I tell people routinely that I like to squeeze the trigger as much as possible to get the wood on the ground, using as little hand handling or rigging/ extra tools as sensible. Binding means pulling extra gear from the truck, hauling to the tree, install, removal from a log that may not need...

    Yes, Burnham, avoiding the Circle of Death. Coos Bay. Deep sapwood cuts. Bore out the holding wood, leading a trigger/ back-strap. Gut the hinge. Golden triangle.
