Hey, has anybody on here been crazy enough to implement Buckin Billy Ray's "Back Cut First," technique on the Resi-jobs? Works an absolute charm on the back-leaners, but certainly has it's pitfalls. I could tell you stories.
Well I did it again today. Pull line and wedges. Full sized oak next to the house. Evenly balanced but with wind in our favor. Had the pull line hook to the skiddy but didn’t need it. ( just insurance ) there was such a noticeable amount of movement just tapping the wedges with a hand sledge. It never gets old felling the gust of wind from felling a large tree.
