    The frozen ground helps a little I guess, but I agree on the hackish side.

    I hang the saw almost all the time, from the tiny ms 150T to the monster 3120xp. I stow only to avoid dragging the chain on the concrete, gravel, roof, wires or groundy's head. But I don't like it because that adds a parasitic weight / movement near my butt and that disrupts my own...

    The Maasdam rope puller works very well for this application, even better than the jack if there are tangled limbs, vines... It needs only a light anchor point and for this size of trees, you can just choke the line by hand over head. The leverage is sufficient, with the advantage of a short...

    I'll read this again too. The memory's data banks aren't quite full, but the access sucks more and more.

    It's a trade-off hard to solve some times. With a serious back leaner, I make usually a small open face ( if I don't need a strong side to side control). I have been in trouble previously with a too deep face because I couldn't lift the tree at all, too much pressure on the wedges. I had to get...

    The width of the bar is a long way to go out when the kerf closes like that. It's like a mouse trap. You can be ready like a ninja, but the binding load crushes/tears the remaining fibers before the chain can free the way out. Instant jam.

    I got that on a cracked trunk. I bored to avoid a barber-chair (as the split was already there). It didn't explode on me but I got the bar stuck. I made a new bore cut above with an other saw and rimming in the same time. Nearly got me again. A couple times was when I came too close to the front...

    The shock wave in the root ball of the big heavy leaner is impressive. Tremendous tension released here.

    Not quite, I'm a bit lost in all this wording. His speech has to be trimmed for me to get the precise point. I understand to leave some meat in the underside as a fulcrum, but thinning so much the upper side feels like a very risky move. I must be missing something in the narrative.

    And if the wood at the bottom of the groove doesn't split, with a unbalanced or weird shape of the tree, wich tends to rotate hard the trunk when it hits the ground. The tongue can split in half too if the notch is all the way in front for a small diameter (instead of just the two external...

    Who would continue to argue just about the tree after being volontarly send in such a fall. Never mind the water, he could very well have been killed if it was for real. I think this fact should tend to upset him a little more and change the subject of the conversation. edit : for real, I mean...

    By the cutting technique at first, I expected a big fail, I'm disapointed.

    I'm surprized by the shallowness of the notch. That doesn't leave much room to play with. Though, most of the work is done early in the tree's trajectory.

    With the big cloud of pollen, the shacke and the bang, it had to be like an explosion for the driver. :crazyeyes:

    We are speaking about how many tons in pulling power here ? On this vid, the work of the chain is easier to see. It should be interesting to study mathematicaly the behaviour of the chain ( if one is inclined to :tongue3:).

    I can't see the vid from instagran, as usual, but the still pic tells enough.

    It seems that the cable snapped. Lifted too high and hit the head's pulleys with the block-hook ?

    Thanks to "translate" the vid Gary. I can see it now, even if I can't understand half of what he says. Sure, a loaded rope can pinch hard on its side if a climber's part is in the way. I fu**ed-up myself once, but not nearly as bad though. It was a heavy reduction pruning of a nice big oak...
