LOL, Yeah I've been extracting windblown for the past 3 months, the temptation was too much

More stunt fell than rate my hinge, Climber couldn't be arsed to climb that day so we were dropping them in oners, perfectly I might add with no damage! :-)

9/10 knocked off 1 for the tallish hinge, (if it was my fell I'd think it was a 10/10 )

Yeah we were on the cold side, but that was ok. The top was a leaner and heavily weighted with snow. The stump is about 18 inch across there. So the face is narrow and Humboldt style (bottom cut is angled, top is horizontal). I cut out the sides too so it couldn't spilt out on me. A ground view of the lake is below. Nice spot

 

If only Wales was a bit colder, then the horizontal rain would be snow! Fair play, that beats most views I've seen from the 'office '

Speaking of which... Has anyone mastered the soft dutchman / (flying?) dutchman felling cut? Or even just done it once successfully? :-)

Cheers, dunno why but I always go high when it's arb? I'd get shot for that in forestry! ;-)

I mean the height difference between the bottom of the gob and the back cut, stump height isn't relevant if it isn't forestry, your back will thank you

 

High stump in forestry? cut it down and hide it in the brash pile

Firstly - cheers Stubby! :-)

 

Secondly - R Mac, I know you mean hinge height! Nowt wrong with stump height - the 12 ton jcb 360 needed something to grab hold of ;-)
