Beech fell Knutsford.

 

Question for you experienced guys. In the above vid, two handed saws are being used in the canopy. Special reason here do you think?

[Ian Flatters]

Just because you can:thumbup: and i'd like to see a 200t go through some of them lumps:001_tt2:. Good vid tho.

[arbclimber]

All chainsaws are two handed saws mate. If you mean why were back handled saws used, its because you wouldn't get through that timber with a 200t:thumbup1:

[Mozza]

Too big for a top handler them lumps mate!!

[Andrew Reed]

Ok, thanks, I was just wondering. yep, sorry, i meant top handled, not two handed.

Thats one of Reg's videos, ask him yourself.....but looks like massive timber, the 200 wouldnt have got through most of them chunks:thumbup1:

sometimes left handed:blushing:

what about 2 ropes

not a criticism just an observation

i used to only use my rope but have made a concious effort to put another one on after meeting a lad that wished he had had 2

tbh i find it adds very little time as i can usually cut faster if stropped on:thumbup:

Just to put a spanner in the works. Have you ever met anyone that wished they hadnt had a second strop holding them in "the firing line" as it where. say, when a large lump has reacted inother way than was forseen and they couldnt get out the way???

 

I believe there are times when you really dont want a second strop on (now and again) as long as you are in a secure postition whilst cutting and nowhere near you main line.

Some crane jobs for instance.

tbh thats what put me off using a strop but in general i reckon strops are better

and if concerns i reckon there are different ways to do things

i have heard of 2 cases where strop has seriously hurt lads but no concrete proof to back it up

sorry

Didnt like the top quarter action close to second stem, especialy as single rope was in line of kickback potential.

 

also would have like to have seen better use of gob cuts for a flat fall to save root damage to nieghbouring trees tbh.

 

otherwise massive tree good job.
