Yep. Would have been a 10 minute job to shoot a line in that tree and fell it.

I hadn't seen the second one either. Seemed like an awful lot of farting about. For my taste anyway. But what does a Beech faller know about Redwood. He got it where he wanted it.

Sure is. Too bad that it is way beyond your skill level with a saw.

Hell, no. This is actually a funny story. Last time we had a merry go 'round about hinge wood fibers, the Murphadite as usual went to war, believing the exact opposite of everybody else. I mean, EVERYBODY!!! Anybody you can name figures that sap wood has better hinge quality than heartwood. Not...

Murphy has always had a bee in his bonnet about this, claiming the exact opposite of what everybody else are saying. That is why I asked him to post the Swedish study again.

Post that Swedish study again, why don't you.

Right, got you now! Man, you like completely had me baffled :lol:

Sure, Anna. But was does she have to do with Reg's tree?

You lost me, sorry.

With a skidder handy, that would be 15 minutes top. Fell the tree across the highway, which as far as I can tell, is with the lean, buck the part that is across the road and push it aside with the skidder. I've done that countless times. As for the wedges thing, Cory, that was just my way of...

Guess I'll stop using wedges and stuff, then.

What I can't understand is the need to take that tree down in pieces. It is in the middle of a forest apparently. A decent faller could drop it in 5 minutes, why waste time and money on a take down. Is there something I'm not seeing.

Well, according to the Murph, neither you or I know shit about cutting trees. The greatest treeman alive ( with bucket access, of course).

He looks somewhat ridiculous in that red/pink tight shirt, but he can use a saw, for sure.

Gotta love people who stick a wedge in an extreme front leaner.

Exactly. Cut correctly, no chance of a barberchair. Also you cut the backstrap outside in or risk teaning a root out of the ground or a slab out of the log. Plus he was lucky not to get his bar pinched when cutting the hinge so thin an, far as I could see, not being aware of the possibility.

An unnecessary step!

That was so awesome. Totally out of the box. Kinda reminds me of someone.

Dandanthetreeman comes close. Only show up here to post his videos. Look at me, everybody.

I've always figured it took a certain amount of vanity to want to spend all that time, just to be seen by others.
