I think I have a pic of your mog my cousin sent me! he works as a sales rep for British gas so is all over the place and thought I'd appreciate it

Lovely set up you have, I'd love a mog but can't justify it.

Definitely should have used a bigger saw from the get go, which Stevie mentioned above. I used my 560 further up the stem and should have started with it.

Double gob (V cut), or top cut exactly above the undercut would have been better, the inboard top cut allowed tearing to take place before the (slow) cut was complete.

 

 

I haven't yet dismantled a big tree, and I'm glad I read this. Free fall cutting techniques we covered on the course, but as a newbie a big heavy limb with a step cut does seem fraught with danger.

How much longer would the job have taken to wang off the big limbs in several bits, rather than one risky cut?

Thanks. It is a very handy tool. Would hate to be without it.
