wish I was half as good

 

Honest post mate, you and me both!

The charging about with the revving saw is a bit OTT like, as John said earlier.

The stumps weren't that high, certainly compared to harvester sites.

I wonder what difference financially an extra 6" or so on the stump would make, on softwoods.

Anyone know?

I don't think any forwarder drivers will be worrying about high stumps on that site....

Depends on the width of the stump.

However on a 30cm tree 15cm higher than it should be is 0.01m3. So about 30p a stump.

Thanks Brushcutter.

The rate he was going at that's about a £1 a minute. I'd sack him.

If it was me it would only lose about 60p an hour.

 

I win!

 

Seriously, as Chris pointed out, the stumps weren't overly high on the upside.

Playing to the camera - possibly.

Skilled and experienced cutter - definately.

I thought a few were high but generally i agree they weren't high on the upside. I remember when i started out harvesting i was you had to take the stumps above the root flair but not so high as to waste wood. One instructor would work around and spray your stumps that were too high and then tell you how much timber you wasted.

That's the best reply yet I think

Although its extreme this is whats its like in hardcore forestry. you could tell by him he knows exactly what he is doing, his speed of thought is good,although, obviously he knows its on film and he is out to impress. just goes to show the man behind the saw is more of importance than what make or model he is using. i like his work ethic too.

When I first worked with some old school fallers their favourite saying was: a foot at the bottom is worth a yard at the top.

I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe some of you think that's skilled?? It was fast paced work yeah!! But skilled?? Never!!

 

Genius?? Noooooo!!

 

Idiot? Maybe!!

 

Nutter?? Defiantly!!

 

Wasn't exactly hard trees to fell! No wedges mostly all fell on there own!

 

Entertaining video! Didn't really see the need for him to throw the saw on the floor at the end though!
