Crane felling is such a Game Changer. I enjoyed watching that.👍

Two comments to learn from. (Definitely not criticizing, just commenting from my own personal experience.)

Ask the crane driver to get the cut sections away from you asap. Having them bounce around next to you is poor form. He had plenty of scope to either jib up or move sideways as soon as he had the weight, and they were only little bits.

When making the release cut on a suspended section, I very rarely have a secondary attachment. Gasp if you like. I've had a few bits come back at me and it's most unpleasant to not be able to get out of the way quick smart. Failing that, the bit sweeps you out of the way rather than going through you.

Nice vid and the soundtrack takes me back.

Cheers guy. I was running two saws, first being ms341 and other an 066 with a 36" bar on it.

 

This was my first crane job, was pretty lucky due to there not being many lateral branches on it but always good to get some new tips.

 

Cheers again for the comments

Crane driver needs to tension away from you abut. Not many bit went away from you up there also why small bits.

probably being a bit over cautious, as it was the first time with a crane and driver.
