If I was him, I would be suing whoever made me wear that bloody awful jumper. Actually, I think I have seen him on Southend High Street. :lol:

 

Just a thought...the Jumper may have been in fashion when he started that job:laugh1:

He did pretty well considering he's prolly just a farmer with a little saw.

Yes it's dangerous but he still managed to bring it down safely with a mini domestic saw.

Sooo... If you have a small saw and a big tree, how do you take it down? :confused1: I remember a burned hollow cedar snag in the Pacific Northwest felled with a 20" bar. It measured 12' x 15' across the stump 8 feet above ground. Had to go inside.:sneaky2: Had to use a house jack to get it to fall.

This reminds me of a similar event which happened to me, a long time ago when I first started tree work.

I was contracted out to another company to fell 5 Oak trees on a new road on a new road constrution site. I took along my 660 with a 30" bar, and just for snedding a small husky with a 15" bar, I felled one tree and then the 660 packed up.

The contractor was spitting bullets, so I pulled out the small husky, and he said, **** off your having a laugh, But I cut a gob out, bored out the centre, cut off the buttresses, and then felled the tree.

He couldn't believe it, Big trees can be felled with small saws, if you know what you are doing, which quite clearly the bloke in this video DID NOT.

P.S. mum used to knit us jumpers like that when we were young.
