a nice cut for hung trees

[combined tree services]

Lkast time I pinched the bar was becasue I didn't use the plunge.. maybe 2009... if you pinch the bar, figure it out.. this isn't grade school

 

Sorry dadio but you really are one grade A joke !!!

 

this isnt grade school as you put it but at the same time you like to shoot your mouth off about how great you are and how you have all these years experience, but on the other hand you are not willing to share you wealth of experience when it comes to trapping your saw !!! maybe its because you know know that once in that situation it becomes much much more dangerous that the original task of getting down a windblown tree . or maybe its because your not all the you claim to be !!!

 

your un-willingness to answer my question does go a long way to demonstrating why Brithish tradesmen on the whole are respected throughout the world for being thorough and professional in what they do . it would appear that this would not be the case your someone such as your self

dadio, the cut you did was called, like anything in the UK 'billy basic'

 

We all know and used the same cut, so showing off is not sensible as the correct method is the method.

 

and as your video shows, your anticipation of the result was a fair degree of panic judging by your side steps.

 

 

the tree could still have...split, rotated or barbered at any point as you tentatively tried to cut, you could have letterboxed and rotated without any tools and kept safe, that failed....try again, and then do the side step overeach panic option:lol:

This thread is ace

 

Only skimmed through the last 10 pages (and for some reason can't see most of the videos) or so but seems like people are falling into one camp or the other.

 

Plenty of posts I agree with but too many pages back to quote them all

 

I'm still of the opinion that there's a time and a place for cuts that aren't perhaps conventional and am unlikely to change that opinion just because some people don't like it.

 

I think location/situation/type of work play a big part too - on an arb job, where not only there's as likely to be more targets but the vehicle is likely to be closer and most importantly the job will have been priced to reflect the tree, you are likely to have a bit more time to deal with the tree.

 

Out in the woods where every stick counts, given the choice of either trekking back to the truck to cart a tirfor/lugall or go and drag the tractor over, I'm going to be looking at other options before that which could get the tree down on the floor quicker and if I felt that there wasn't a safe way to do it without mechanical assistance then I'd get mechanical assistance.

 

I'd like to think that nobody's going to make a cut if they weren't sure of what was going to happen.

Who cares.

 

Some say "tomato", others say "tomato"!

 

Some say "Potato" and others say "Potato"

 

Some say "Nice Cut", others say, "Yikes, you'd need to be mental to try that!"

 

I'll be honest, I'm just trying to get to 100 posts now.

mindboggling aint it?

I show you a cut that will prevent the bar from getting pinched... then you ask what do you do if the bar gets pinched... how much sense does that make?

How about this answer... I forget... its been so long....

 

or How do you get any bar unpinched? You cut it free with another saw... if you can't figure that out.. you're in the wrong business...

so let me get this right - your video shows you pulling your saw out from almost getting trapped but still you claim it is a cut the prevents the saw getting pinched !! have a look at your origional video !! i think it will remind you of how saws get pinched / trapped .

 

Exactly my point you then have to make another set of cuts !! above the previous or below ? i asked you because i wanted you to explain how to deal with an already unpredictable/controllable cut without making it more dangerous than it already is . you were already cutting at shoulder height wit you head in line with the bar so that you could see what you were doing so would u cut higher or lower ? .

 

Talking of being in the wrong business i would strongly advise you take a good hard look in the mirror .

 

as you previously stated that we are prudes over here in the uk i thought i would ask if you have ever heard of us referring to Americans as gun-hoe , arrogant or better still bad losers ? .
