Sure, as long as you cut the hinge up thin enough. Actually if the hinge was left too thick with the silly step back cut thingy it would still barberchair.

That method of pulp falling would be impossible with dogs, as it relies heavily on being able to slide the body of the saw along the stem. The tiny amount of time spent notching, back cutting and bucking where not having dogs can be a disadvantage is negated by the advantages gained while...

I saw the tag line too, the tree leans into the pull even more just as he starts cutting.

No, although the stem had a heavy back lean, the tree had compensated by developing huge scaffold limbs on the front. I sniped the stump to make sure it slid off the right way, and it just sat on the scaffold limbs. Quite handy really, my main concern was the butt hitting the building that...

Not for me, I just cut the butt log for him and left the homeowner to it!

Felled this one today. Major back leaner, the stem was actually inside an outbuilding so I cut it at roof height. Pulled it over with two tractors, one set against the side lean and wind, and one straight out in the lay. https://youtu.be/5r2dcrXPXGA

You can still get to the bottom, just have to penetrate it from both ends.

I always thought it was a inverse correlation.

By the time you start cutting, you should have decided on the direction IMO. Only playing devils advocate here, I often make the horizontal cut first, especially on big trees, purely so the wedge doesn't sit down on the bar.

Diagonal cut first is what is taught here, has been for some years. Reasoning is that once you start the cut you've set the direction, and all you have to do is line up the horizontal cut. Doing it the other way means you have to set your direction by finishing the horizontal, and then...

Isn't that what they made tools out of before they discovered steely?

Yes, because you're friends with me on fb. I'll try to get it on YouTube at some point. I can only view yours if I'm logged in. You have to change the settings to public.

The trick with a spear cut is all in the timing, cut most of the way through, let it tip towards the direction of fall, then sever the remaining wood ASAP. I really don't think he meant to spear cut it though.

Surely their only mistake was not using the skid steer to pull it over? :lol:

If you take away 4 zeros from Burnhams tally, your not far off my total….

Really like those spring boards, going to make some of them fore sure.

Got one of those, still not keen.

I planted a tree once. Didn't like it, digging, mud, cold, windy. Rather leave that to people who enjoy it.

I carry a matched pair crossed on my back, draw over the shoulder right or left handed.
