felling cut.

[carlos]

what cut would work well when you have a stem with a fence attatched so you have to high fell and dont want the butt to roll or drop back and trash the fence.

any photos would be good.

i used a humbolt in the above situation and it worked fine but wondered if there were any variations etc which would of helped.

thanks carl

I use a Humboldt for that too, never squashed a fence yet. If it's a really valuable fence, couldn't you chain the butt above the cut to something in the fall-zone, to guarantee the butt end can't come back? I see they have 1ton chain hoists in Lidl for €40 at the moment.

Tongue and groove? I know it may not be possible on all trees and in all situations but I used it felling pops which had a lot of shrubs below and it kept the butt ends in the air, just made a cut in the middle, chipped the top and lifted out the stem with the digger. Virtually no damage.
