Tongue and Groove Tree Felling Technique


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
I take that it is for small trees. like small pines and palms like you say.

 

I don't understand what makes it more efficent and a better way of felling than doing basic felling cut.?

 

I am sure it has its place..but where? Wouldn't mind giving it a go..but when should you use it?

 

gives better directional fell ie harder for hinge to break off and it goes off line

hope that helps

well thats my understanding anyway:thumbup:

and similar to our split level cut but using a wedge

saves tree leaning back and cutting wedge ect

Nicely set-up for the 'Promo Vid'!:lol:

 

I think under normal circumstances, we'd have had that palm down, chipped and be in the cafe by the time we'd ponced about with that cut.

 

Maybe it's the easiest way to fell palms......I might try it next week, 'cos I can't get a handle on an easy way yet. :blushing:

I used this one about 10 years ago to fell a sycamore... (can't remember why, I think we must have been having a play about). It seemed to work well enough but haven't used it since... can't have been that good!

I cannot see how doing a plunge cut through the center of an already small hinge(reference to smaller trees) then relying upon a piece of split wood, would make the hinge hold better than a standard well cut hinge:sneaky2:

 

Absolute rubbish in my opinion!

I just seen the first 10 seconds. Did he really lift the gob piece off the bar with his fingers with no chain brake on. Maybe just tilt the bar back and let it slide off.
