with some discussion of falling cuts

 

Always enjoy your vids . Very informative

Whole lot less bravado than some of your other videos. Was expecting to come on and watch overambitious tree felling, instead saw a pretty cool video. Top marks. Really worth a watch.

Nice smooth lift at the start Daniel:thumbup1: Nice watch throughout. I wonder how much extra $ in damage you reduced by lifting it up and away.

Is there not a possibility that the tri dominance is just a bundle planting? Looking at the attachment at the bottom it doesn't look like it's all come from one stool.

you only liked it because of all the pulleys in use

Good work, and some interesting points. Did you make a guesstamation about how much pulling power you needed to lift the limb off the house, or was it experience ?

Out of interest, does anybody over the pond wear chainsaw trousers (pants) or do you all wear chaps ?

I did not make an estimate in terms of lbs in thinking through the rigging system.. Only thoughts were is this (truck) strong enough to lift the tree up, and are the overhead rigging points going to hold and are the tie off points on the tree balanced and strong enough to hold. I knew I was well within the ropes capacities, though probably outside the 10% SWL recommendations. PUtting two ropes and pulleys in the system helped reduce the weight on each, but I was actually more concerned about the overhead anchor points failing, than the rope, which is why I went with the double blocks.

 

Yes I know a couple guys that wear chainsaw resistant pants, but it is far more common to see no leg protection worn by most workers here in the USA.
