diet who needs one

[spuddog0507]

had a day yesterday felling edge trees on a job ,all back weighted and took some getting over probably spent 4 hrs swinging hammer banging wedges in, but when trees need tipping over that point called centre of gravity and all that weight is on the opposite side it takes a bit of effort to get them where you want them, HENCE had to take my belt up a notch about 3pm then when i got home and got saw pants off my jeans where half way down my arse , so i have decided i dont need to go on a diet as what i do seems to work for me lost 11lb in a day.

What wedges were you using?

[Stubby]

Tractor and winch ?

[stihlmadasever]

Bottle jack or winch.

Good to keep fit and polish up skills on tipping back leaners over but maybe 1 then use a machine to pull them.

[Darrin Turnbull]

Hard work for sure. Sometimes a nice strong wind in the right direction would help.

in reply to all above the main object of the day was for the guy who was working with me to see and learn about getting heavily weighted back leaners over with out destroying fences, tractor and winch  is on site and yes thats the the way, but thats not always the case and defeating the task in hand on the day , friday aft we had a stiff blustery west wind blowing and it took about 20% 0f the effort to get them over as it did on the sat with no wind what so ever but that tree was left for sat as it was one of the worse ones and i thought it was a good example to learn on. done a few of these  personally over the last 25 years and that tree in the video was about the farest i have had a tree wedged over with out it actually going and yes it was hard work to get it from where it was when starting to where it was before it finally went over.

When you say them how many did you do.

If showing someone how it's do 2 or 3 would be enough then get them to do a couple backed up with winch.
