had a little size... no groundie.. just cut it and see what happens...

Here's something else a bit "off", I tried for the first time yesterday.. self lowering NC rig just to control the piece, slow it a little and keep it from taking a bad bounce.. and of course just to see what happens, which is a subset of the real reason.. "cause I wanted to"

been on the ride for over 30 years brother... that was a "learning opportunity" in a zero risk situation.... And I learned a lot... could end up saving a life out there .... trust me.. it was a hassle to split the grain on that big wood... doing so in a well controlled and documented scenario...

Here's another one pulled today..ore pics and story coming

its a good video.... guessing he bypassed the face cuts as well...

more like ego-finisher

agreed.. this thread is about the other .1% ps.. near 100% of my work is residential.. that's all I got to "experiment" with.. :)

Unreliable directional control might be a bit more accurate..

LOL... c'mon boys.. I "DID IT FOR YOU".. and this is the love? :D

85-90' tulip, tall skinny thing maybe 26-28" dbh... back cut only (no notch) made half way through, at about 30-35' height.. high pull line ... this is what happens when you tell the skid op to pull it till it breaks...

a brain? JK Butch :)

you guys could put up an idea at least... Here's another one I tried today in a near zero risk situation.. from the bucket of course.. this cut would kill a climber a little twist in the grain did turn the tree 15-20º from the gun... and the pull line was 15-20º the other direction...

I wish we had more to talk about...

exactly!

That's all the house has ??? I showed you one in the photo....
