    crazy Russian tree cutting

    Cool you know it, Chris. I learned to from a crane op specializing in tree work. Very reliable method for no stuck saw and no need for a wedge. The order of which ears to cut down from makes things go especially well, given boom position. I like how it lets the op lean the tree the way you...

    I agree, Reg, I see limited application for the Vee cut for the reason you mentioned. It does remind of a cut used at the base where the tree gets plunged through leaving two or three points of attachment on the outside. Angled cuts down then frees the log but keeps it cradled within the...

    crazy Russian tree cutting

    Cool vid and nice job. I ran into some White Birch a few days ago. Something in the wood seemed to kind of jam up the chain when cutting. Never experienced that before, but not much experience with that wood. Guy I was working with said the same thing. Good luck to Dave, great that they...
