My fell today , large maple

 

Tim, a nice clean hinge, but out of curiosity why did you cut the feathers off one side?

 

Never really understood why people cut off the most important part of the hinge?

From my medium trees assessment:

 

[Adam Bourne]

1 of 3 cherry fells this morning

 

[aspenarb]

It broke

 

 

[Edge]

Western red cedar a rather tricky hinge but worked a treat

[18 stoner]

It broke

 

 

 

 

Possibly cutting a large amount of holding wood from the hinge in a crucial place may have been regretful?

As soon as the gob was cut we realised it was rotten so put the winch tractor on it. Goes to show that all is not what it seems, the tree looked perfectly healthy and was only removed because it was in the footprint of a build. We have had similar situations with some roadside Beech, they were leaning the wrong way so the winch was already on them, as soon as the saw touched them a hole appeared, the cable went tight and I just had to keep winching. Another case of what looked like a healthy tree, these were only being pulled back into the woodland for roadside clearance. Be prepared
