Glad he's ok, and good to read you man.

He’s just making the face cut. He’ll move his tie in for the back cut. 😉

I was curious if his gaffs met inside the stem. What kind of tree is growing through the fence? Reminded me of our Manitoba Maple and Google tells me it could very well be a Box Elder. Structure is more uniform than ours locally but the shoots, bark and weeping sure look like something I'd find down the street.

This is Ácer negúndo. We call it the ash-leaved maple.

Anyone else impressed by Max high on the skinny wood?

There's nothing dangerous about it. In summer, during hurricanes, these skinny stems experience a load of several hundred kilograms and do not break. Also, I don't fasten the rope where the rod is thinner than 4 inches.

My Flipline is tired.

You're a hearty soul, Max. I'll say that.

Beautiful trucks.

Great images. Spruce?

 

[BIGTWIG]

Yes sir

 

[cory]

Great pics for sure, thx for posting.

Your trucks are obviously awesome but I personally would get stressed keeping them that clean in that environment. FL, maybe, but not MT

Went and did a side job after work and it was quite interesting.

 

[Treeaddict]

Any climbing? Looks like a cripple, winch, repeat kinda job?

 

[TINYHULK]

All climb by myself. Tree was supported by two other trees. I bounced between climbing those two and walking up the dead spar to drop everything. As I released each resting point the supporting trees stood up more. The cut before the last one made the dead tree root to shift up 6-8in. That’s when I realized the tree was falling with the last cut. I was tied in to other trees the entire time. I cut down both ends of the supporting fork then I notched and spun the spar on the root ball verrrrrry slowly

Today is a day off, so you can't work with a chainsaw in a residential area. I use a battery powered saw. I made this tree in 3 hours. Only one battery was enough for this.

Cripple/winch would have been a great idea but I don’t have a winch. Probably would have made it a little bit easier lol

Max showing high skills

A Maasdam Continuous Rope-puller capstan is cheap, portable/small/ light, dependable and versatile.

I've pulled so many trees with it, my truck, my mini, small stumps, drug logs...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Staple in the rig for certain

 

[flushcut]

My guys broke mine. Bent the handle and cracked the drum at the axle. Oh well it had a good run.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Yes, definitively worth having. It isn't costly, even amazingly cheap for its usefulness. It was a revelation when I dicovered it here in the House.

 

[treebogan]

Tight fell.

I am looking pleased since I had to ditch the saw and run for it, due to the stump hight and the terrain.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah, no hanging out near fells like that. And watch thy footing and placement on the move.

 

[TINYHULK]

The Maasdam is rated for a max pull of 1500. Is that accurate? Never used one but doesn’t seem like enough pull to drag a 5000lb tree

 

[stikine]

1500 is pretty accurate, you won't pull 5000
