Be nice if Graeme or Angus could post it. A great method of felling for special circumstances, tree and skill levels permitting

mr McMahon is neither human or bionic, he is an Immortal:bowdown::bowdown:

very ballsy idea. i don't mean to sound stupid but why can't you just fell it out from that point rather than having it precariously balance over head of you, then fold felling it. or am i missing something.

I agree exactly, whats the point in putting your self in a more dangerous situation:confused1: If your up the tree anyway just fell or fold it out , It's the simple safe option.:

There was a very good reason for not taking the top out....Graham spoke about at treebuzz....but it escapes me now. If we keep talking I'm sure he'll hear down in tasmania soon enough and chip in....?!

could it of had a back lean on it from the point where he put the fold.

if you have the skill it certaily would save a lot of disking down on a tree that size. or maybe he is showboating so every other tree cutter on the planet feels inadequate:001_smile:

you can still crank over a back lean from half way, a bit unnerving but quite do able. alot easier than gauging where to stop your back cut, especially if it's leaning in the direction of the gob. i'd be more worried about not cutting enough. you've got one piece being pulled one way while your trying to fell the bottom piece the other direction. way too dodgy.
