Crosscutting in Medium tree felling assesment.
Husqvarna King replied to Thurkers's topic in General chat
As steve said it helps when you cant undercut if a log is close to the ground but also if you're using a larger saw it takes the weight off, as you are cutting down once you have bored in, rather than having to hold the saw up, if that makes sence -
I had a cheap groundie a couple of years ago to help me and usual groundie....i was rigging down a big Sycamore and there were several statues underneath, when the last limb to be lowered was finished there was no risk of damaging anything with the last bits, but as the normal groundie untied the limb on the ground i looked over......only to see the "new" groundie turn round whilst holding a branch and knock one of these statues clean off its stand and it smashed!!! When the client came home she thought that it was my fault as i did the cutting!! Cheap groundies dont pay....even on simple jobs

I use a prussic, and have different lengths, a small one for use with a strop. Have macrograb for wirecore and use another small prussic on second/main line when chogging down.

Not sure - probably. but i always take the starter cover off if im removing a clutch
-
I never use a piston stop, but instead just knot a piece of starter cord...does the same thing and wont break/leave deposits in the bore

I bought a 15g sachet of Celox today, i was just wanting some advice from those of you that have/use it as to where u store it....I was thinking either my chaisaw helmet, above the straps or in the first aid pouch on my harness. Am a little worried about having it in the first aid kit as mine has come open and gets knocked about when climbing, but im also worried if i put it in my helmet that it might be hard to get to in an emergency or if i cannot treat myself people/groundies might not think to look for it there. Any advice would be much appreciated thanks fellas.

So you're telling me if you are cutting a hardwood tree or a dead branch your chainsaw doesnt get slightly blunt?? i lightly sharpen my saw twice a day when im coppicing Hornbeam, can cut much faster, easier work...hardwood blunts the saw!! I hate watching people cut with a blunt saw!!

I've bolted a 6ft stabila spirit level onto my 30 inch guide bar.....cuts level every time:001_tt2:
-
saw sounds fine to me, think your chain is too tight, you have to give long bar/chains a bit of play, not too much but more than a smaller one
-
wudda been too late, lookin at the pics he was ploughing the field at the time

Tell the wife that the 372 is a mid ranger not a large saw:thumbup1:

The Leaning Chestnut that i mentioned a couple of weeks ago
-
Theiving B**tards!!!! Good on you for having a go at stopping them!! Think I'd have done the same, even though its not the most sensible thing. Wish you well soon and hope the Insurance sort you out
-
Yeah, i know what u mean....a guy from up the road came to have a look, he said "it aint that bad"....then stood underneath and looked at the spread and size of the limbs and said "F**k me!!" LOL
-
Took photos after i had removed a fel limbs from the ground and around base of tree, DBH is about 36-40", about 50ft to give a scale, rigged all branches down on garden side and didnt damage any plants...looking forward to the easy drop next month:thumbup:
-
I had a cancellation this morning, so made a start on this wide Horsechestnut that i was asking advice on earlier in the week. It was not quite as bad as i remembered, but had to cut down 6ft brambles in the fell/drop zone. Was on site for 5 hours and have all the brambles cut down and the tree ready to fell...Unfortunately, i cant book them in for a month as im fully booked, but they are really chuffed. Pics dont really show the full weight and size of the branches, but you'll get the idea
-
Good idea! Could be an option, i will suggest that. its difficult to explain without photos, there are small retaining walls, a trellis, sheds, fences, shrubs plants and small trees all underneath, not much of a drop zone. The tree doesnt look that big from a distance but when standing beside the trunk you can really see how weighty the branches are and the size of them is decieving...i just hope its one of those jobs i turn up to do and think "ahhh its not as bad as i kept remembering it":001_tt1: Thanks for all the great help guys, much appreciated, especially on the bottle jack advice etc. Thanks
-
The tree has a fairly even habit as it stands, but, there are two huge limbs that come out over the field side that start about 20ft on the trunk (about 25"+ diameter) and hang down, nearly touching the floor the field side, then shooting back upwards (a kind of "U" shape). These would have to be removed as the tree would not fall over and would roll and beside the stump there is a fence, and sheds either side.. Once these two huge limbs have been removed the weight of the tree is leaning back over the garden Wedges would not bring this tree over, even as it is, its not very tall and the spread is massive!! I will have to tell the client that i will have to dismantle the tree on the garden tree, then fell the remaining stem. I think that trying a bottle jack could be risky with the imbalance as much as it will be here. Also from a felling point of view, there isnt much of an escape route if anything does go wrong, it is very close to sheds/fence/plants etc

handbags at dawn fellas...come on:001_tongue:
