Anyone struggling to knock that tree over with a conventional felling cut wants to hang up their saw trousers. 

Yes but was,nt the original poster not saying he was not happy about doing it him self ?? anyway he did the right thing as he got someone else to do it and its now down,

What cut did they use and how much lighter is your wallet?

It’s hard to see the hinge in your pic  but it looks like a  back cut  with a tapered hinge ?

Be asking how often he humps the wife next 🤣 Does it matter its down and that is all that counts

Looks like a Humbolt notch makes it jump forward off the stump better.

Wasn't questioning the OP's decision to get someone in. Probably the sensible decision.

 

It sounded like you were suggesting that you should bore and release that tree. I was replying to that.

Not a humbolt. That’s an upside log you’re looking at

Witterings, what I think you should do is take the plunge and invest in CS30/31 training (whatever it's called now) - cross cut and fell.

You're obviously using the saw a fair bit, it will make you safer, and you'll enjoy it more than a week's holiday.

Yea but now you have seen him do it ......🙂

 

He wasn't happy felling it in one ... took all the branches out and sectioned it down so I'm thinking I probably did make the right choice ... you probably know him being local Stephen Bacon and it was £200
