A faller whom I respect on back barring :

Here’s one to kick around.

It’s like overbucking in the sky! 😆

I’ve been called cowboy plenty but I think I’d have put a cable on that thing! 😆

…and plastic wedges catch and burn easily…

The wheel looked big in our shop…now it looks like a shopping cart wheel.

A little drive wheel for the sugar plant. (60”DBH) 😁 We put a new shaft in it.

Was the fire above or below you? This weekend…wheel was probably around 400f at this point…nothing like fire.

Bicycle cut

I’d try on fire once just to say I did it.

I’m just sitting here with my mouth hanging open.

He’s better at doing than explaining methinks.

I think I get it. Not about to try it on a Euc though 😆

Yeah but I’m kicking myself because I was helping a buddy thin dead junk a while back and got some small ones hung up. Dog leash didn’t work.

Here’s one of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” tricks. I have seen Elisabeth Ann Jacobsen do it with a sapling and strap but never thought about just poking a hole in it.

…from a mechanical perspective, seems like a lot unloaded rpms.

Back to back-leaners, stumbled on this. Nice but a bit fiddly? I had thought before of running the wedge clear thru a tree. On small trees, I usually face it, then wedge in from the side of the back cut…unless it’s leaning back, then reverse order.

In this case, no. I have seen it done on back leaners so the wedges can be installed in the back cut before the face cut is made because the face cut (tension side) would allow the tree to tip back more and pinch the saw when the back cut is made.

I have never done it, but I have seen BBR do BCF and wedge some gnarly ones 180
