Agreed!

That has got to be one of the worst felling vids i've seen, I'm sure he cut through the hinge & no talk on safety, what a joke. They shouldn't be allowed on the web.

[Mr. Bish]

I might just have to get one of those snazzy lil winches and go get me some tree.

These guys seem to think the Darwin award is something to be proud of! or perhaps they are on a PR contract for cowboys? But you've got admire their self loading pick up!.

I like his reason for tensioning a tree with a winch when its already comited to go that way....."incase a gust of wind comes along"

 

I remember in my felling certs this was the same technique my instructor used to get a tree to barbers chair!

You can get those little winches in machine mart, i have had one for years, it does'nt come out much but it can get you out of a spot. I would'nt fell anything big with it though.
