i tie my vt differently nearly everytime and it vaires as all my ropes are different diameters so tying all my cords to the same length to work on all ropes doesnt work for me. so long as the legs are the right length ive found any combination works well. i generally use 3-2 though.

ok just to add....im not saying its not worth knowing this technique, cos ya never know!
-
thats a pointless technique IMO, meant for small trees where there isnt room to stick a wedge in and still cut without the wedge interfering with your chain. if a tree is small enough that you can get a wedge in using conventional methods then i really cant see a case for the wedge at all, a simple push over will do fine

thats all ive ever called it too leon......and ive seen the release cut done many different ways....i sometimes go horizontal or at an angle, ive never experienced anything thats swayed me towards one or the other.

Customer wanted an opinion on 2 catalpas today. no visible signs of fungus on either tree, both growing on open lawn, both trees looking generally unwell and shedding plenty of foliage. i diagnosed a possible mineral defficency and recommended soil feeding. anyone have any opinions on this?
