just an after thought, using this 'explosive' technique seems less controlled than a pull line, and a regular back cut, which allows the cutter to manupilate the hinge to controll the fall off the tree by cutting more off one side of the hinge, altering the direction of fell by a fair few degrees. i see the benifit felling stems, but not whole trees. why do you prefer/did you choose this technique for this tree? its intresting to see diffrent techniques, and try to understand them!

perfect, thanks for that explination, simmilar to the stepped back cut like in the elm vid you put up then? (when felling the stems)

thats normal, makes the chain the right length depending on bar length

Nice fell can you re word/expand on this The bakcut was plunged, with a slight bypass of about 3" on the back strap release. This allowed the tree to move slightly towards the lay, but then stop, leaving the kerf of the lower backcut open about an inch Josh says thanks Dadio

ditto, when you tie the bowline, stick a combi spanner in. "the bowline can seize on itself and make untying difficult. to lessen the problem of seizure from hard pulls, leave the top loop a little loose; in other words, dont tie the knot too tightly. A plastic or metal tapered pin can be inserted where the top loop forms around the line. After the knot is used, the pin can be removed, thus introducing slack in the knot and making it easier to untie after a hard pull. Such use of a tapered pin can be applied to many knots." from the fundamentals of general tree work, old skool book but loads of good ideas

summers day, slight breeze, that was the center of the tree which made the rest of the tree a pain to climb and rig over the road, hedge, well, carport, wires. inspected the limb off to the side, deep hole near the trunk, so i suggested pollarding with the failure as the new top keeping the fracture to show the story
