Split level cuts need be barely higher than standard and loads lower than that one. My best subby cutter (who btw only did his nptc last month after years in the woods) has just cut approx 1000 trees exclusively with s/l cuts all nice and low. He was taught that way, imo correctly.

 

well im not your best subby, im another lad trying to learn, but when there no1 with time to teach, i dont get the experiance, therefore dnt get taght 'the right way' like i said was my first week in the woods, in arb it dont matter how high ur stumps are, it only goes for firewood

Why would you fanny about doing a split if there was no need John?

Quite right!!!

 

And you can save the low cut (which may blunt the saw) until every thing else is logged up

kind of agree, that's his choice and it wd pee me off if it slowed him down. Many of these sticks were back leaners, awkward buggers etc.

 

No offence intended, just think low stumps are good practice; production doesn't allow for loosing a couple of inches per tree to lower the stump post high gob fell to facilitate extraction. I know arb don't matter, but I love low!

Haha your secret is out now

just out of interest to some, low stumps are also better for coppiced woods, the lower (and flatter) the stump the better the future growth

In wood land work low is very important, a high stump will stop a machine at best and possibly damage it.

Quite right.

 

"An inch at the bottom is worth a foot at the top" is very much true.

 

Most valuable timber is at the bottom of the tree, so it pays to cut low
