eKKKa does some wierd crap. Who he stole this good idea from I don't know. However, as usual, his presence is about as welcome as used bog roll after a vindaloo:001_tt2:

I can see some handy places to use that, ones sided tree, Possiblly dead beech where the hindge would just crumble? it would keep it in line a bit better.

 

will have a play with that

Simular to the T hinge that i use on old rotten trees. You leave a strip of wood (2-3" wide) at 90 degrees to the hinge uncut. in the middle of the tree, it helps support the tree particularly when they are leaning. I do have a photo but i can not get my phone to download onto the computer.

Clear as mud !!!!

Looks like yet another cheap advertising stunt by Ekka.

 

Note the full view of name and number during the works!

 

As for the cut, cant see the advantage on that tree. If he had cut a shallower gob, that palm would have gone easily with a conventional fell.

 

The guy will do anything for a bit of attention!

[penfold]

anybody else notice the use of a claw hammer to hit the wedge. Good god man give it some welly with a sledgie!

Works very well on pines and most others,especially if theres a major target to one side of the tree being felled,Part of a basic felling course in the state in from in Aus.
