Well planned or just lucky? which ever, it turned out well.

 

How many of you guys would of done that?

it's already in the video forum, but anyway I could have done that, there is a pull rope - cheating almost.

No, actually I would have walked away and found a little silver birch to do instead

Felled trees beside life power lines for alot of years, when you get in to the swing of it its quite easy. Don't even need to double check, it just goes by itself.

Never had the time for hesitation, and only twice did i fell a tree over the power lines, once i did the felling cut to small so it broke further up and took the line out. The other it was very rotten and lending quite heavy over the lines.

 

In Sweden we do the power lines a little diffrent compared to UK. There is such an amount of trees so the work would take to long if we used special equipment or climbed them. We fell them in one go, many times we fell them so they just touch a little of the line.

 

When cold in winter it can easy go wrong, specially on pine trees they break so easy when its below -20 ..

 

Felling in summer is easy, back in my hay days, or even today i would not hesitate a second to fell that tree. did simular trees or harder many times daily
