CS medium and large trees plus windblow

[Alasdair]

hey all been a while since ive posted in here,

 

looking for help sorry if its in the wrong place,

 

done my medium and large tree and windblow training what feels like about 3 months ago but think it was only a few weeks ago.

 

Right medium and large trees,

 

2 cuts, gub as normal then bore in front of gub mark either side and boar in again on outside of tree for start of back cut and carry on walking round tree til she falls.

If she get hung up and you can get it down with out a winch, 2 about 1 to 2 inch cuts from what ever side you dont want it to fall then a wedge out the front until she comes down,

with a winch set up winch, cutters in control and calls the shots, cut about 2 inch from back on hinge on what ever side your not pulling tree towards and finally,

dog tooth cut for bigger trees gub, bore in from one side, pray its about right then bore in from other side (with about 20 sticks sticking out the tree so i can try and make my cuts meet) not coming right though the back and then either cutting 45 degree to release or about and inch under both cuts to release.

 

Windblow: step cut - underneath then top cut towards head of tree (no winch) other cuts are J cut and v cut.

 

With winch step cut again but other way round under cut then towards root plate for top cut.

 

is that about right? im not the best a putting things from my head to words.

 

My head is pickled and i hate assessment and questions and read questions and trying to remember the answers to the questions.

 

People with out training that have never cut windblow before please dont use this as the bible and go try it get proper training or someone else who has expereince of windblow to help and talk you through it.

I recon that you have the wind blow cuts about right. The finished cut on oversized trees should have a stepped quarter standing proud on the butt if the root plate falls away from you, and on the trunk if the root plate falls towards you (tied off to stop you going splat).
