I made this cut up. Have been using it for a couple years now.. works well, saves a lot of hassle, handling the round.. need to have a ready source of pulling power...

i love how you left the numbers on the tree lol, every bit less sawdust and handling helps. nice finish aswell, wouldnt know there was a tree there:thumbup1:

Sorry I don't understand why you did that cut like that, the first pull, the tree was still holding? So you had to go back and plunge cut either side? I see no advantage and surely the result would have been the same with a normal type felling/falling cut? Also with a convential cut you could have smacked a couple of wedges in the tree for safetys sake.

 

Maybe I missed something?

Re-inventing the wheel methinks!

i like the principle behind it, but think it could be tweaked to make it more efficient

 

if no-one experiments, the industry wont move foward

Same here im trying to think If it would be and advantage to ever use that cut but like josh says if no-one experiments, the industry wont move foward

 

 

Nice end result..

if the pull line is high enough and the grain will split easily, they normally don't need vertical cut to break free.. it goes pretty quickly then..

[RobArb]

would it have not been better making your "step" a bit smaller in this case, that way a further and extra cut to make an artificial step wouldn't have been needed?

[RobRainford]

personally i would have made the bore through cut come back further to overlap more on the bottom, as then you hav a proper step, that just seemed like too much effort, especially for a pole like that, a conventional cut at ground level would leave it at the same height.
