Tree felling vids

[Burnham]

You would know...experience always shows.

 

[gf beranek]

A bad omen in most scenarios.

 

[stikine]

Giving the amount of rigging up top not a big deal in this case.

 

[murphy4trees]

Agreed, but the question is did he know that? and if so what was his reason for taking out either the whole hinge or so close to the whole hinge. To me, it looks like he didn't know any better.

 

[BlackSmith]

He had a skid steer hooked to it, so, you know...

 

[murphy4trees]

If he had a skid ster on it he wouldn't have needed to wipe out the hinge

I am absolutely indifferent to demagoguery. Can you show your video?

 

[murphy4trees]

where is your hinge?

why did you wipe it out?

 

[murphy4trees]

nothing on the left.

not enough to count on the right

[Maximalist]

I like your noose, but I didn't understand a word you said. I don't speak English. I wish you success in your work, and happiness in your personal life!

 

[murphy4trees]

fat hinge works better than thin hinge. thin hinge works better than no hinge.

thank you and God Bless and protect you now and always

Likewise! What do you think about it?

 

[Altissimus]

You say "failed hinge" ?? ... unpossible

 

[Bermy]

Hinge was there, stub with no head lean, thin it out and gut it then pull. Kerplop

 

[Marc-Antoine]

My PC doesn't want to read the vid but I can see the half-hinges in both Murphy's screen shots. The trunk is literally falling apart, I don't know if a thicker hinge would have been useful. Even more, I wouldn't like to find that one side is less punky than the other and pulls the trunk sideway during the fall, or makes the trunk dislocate with the pull.

 

[Maximalist]

It was something like this...

 

[stig]

I guess from now on we all have to bring in a skid steer and set a 4" thick hinge for dumping something that is basically a high stump.

I think I'll pass on that and stick with my gutted hinge cut down to 2 stamp sized pieces in the corners.

 

[Altissimus]

Imagine a world where all Trees can be pulled with a skidsteer

 

[stig]

Be something for John Lennon to sing about.

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough...

 

[Altissimus]

He did know the shot was dangerous ... big , heavy , and the ground HAD TO let it run to not get hurt. (Though he did know he had two fractures later too)

 

[Mick!]

Yeah I saw that, nasty, hope he recovers fully.

 

[Bermy]

Geeze, I thought he'd cut something at first, where his saw ended up it could have. Bad enough though, nasty.
Adrenaline must have been pumping for him to start the saw and also release his hand ascender while saying his wrist was broken!
