Just bad technique and watching the guys mannor,I think he was new to it all.

Gob way to small, IMO.

 

[Log-ologist]

Gobs fine , direction was in the line of lean, but he should have bored a leaner like that. It takes only a moment longer and could save his life. ) not that he will cut much more after a close one like that.

[stoxs]

Gob was fine IMO

 

I think the height of the felling cut was a bigger problem 3+ inches on a tree that size will always try to split up the grain instead of creating a hinge of wood that will twist.

 

But bore cut and dog tooth would have been more entertaining , that one would have gone off like it did but in a controlled manor and no spliting.

Gob looked ok to me, a fifth to a quarter is ok. Even a half would'nt stop a barber chair if the tree is leaning like that, he should have dog toothed it.

[RPA]

CS30/31, etc will fail assesment over 25% gob. Use the correct cut, the old one - 2 wrongs dont = right

[Husqvarna King]

yeah, i think gob was fine, should have dog toothed it, and also was felled too high and the downward back-cut is bad practice.....no wonder they lost the war:sneaky2:

[mattylee]

what a complete loser,i would of needed a step ladder to put the gob cut in where he did what was he thinking.gob too small too

 

lucky lucky uneducated man me thinks!!!!

[Patchwork]
