Looks a nice place to work with some really nice big trees

It is a very quiet place and there are also great plants to get to the houses c is only one path, no roads.

Mate that tree in your avatar is massive the video of you taking it down was so impressive, I can only hope to oneday do a take down of that size. How long did it take?

The work has been executed in less than 2 days (one of which in tree climbing)

Thanks to all

loved the cars running under the crane lol, great job

Thanks... Cars were stopped just when the piece was crossing the street

:thumbup1:Thanks friend

Hopefully that was felled towards the chipper and not 115 ft away from the chipper.

ah ah ah

The wood has been moved with a small crawler to much more than 115 ft. Unfortunately we were in mountains, with only small paths. Nothing was wasted, all wood for heat.

A small video.

Enjoyed watching that to. Do you guys not use chippers or do you sort it all at the yard?

In this case it's been sorted all at the yard (it was very close)

Thanks guys

Thank you. Problems in the roots.

Nice!

The responsible decided to work a day in tree-climbing to untwist branches among them and from cables and because it was possible to use the crane just one day since it would have been closed a private street with it. The work has been executed in less than 2 days (one of which in tree climbing)

I wanted to clarify some things about the type of cut that is being challenged by Scotspine1. (1.25 minutes of video). First: the cut is not dangerous if you know how and when you can do it; in fact it avoids some problems that can happen with the classic cut from behind. As I said, I have did it and taught it, to say the least dozens of times, and I never had any problem. It 's necessary to do a visual inspection before making this type of cut, of course the top/branch I'm cutting must not show signs of breakage and the timber must be healthy., Otherwise you have to put some bands, or even is not executable. This is a cut that you can not learn of internet, because each situation is evaluated. In the courses I run, do 3 days in a row to understand as much as possible.

But let me explain the principle behind this cut. First you imagine to be a top / stable branch (no cracks, rot, etc. ..). Now try to open wide your legs when standing, and you lean your body slightly to one side, the legs do more than cling force to maintain the same inclination. For this reason, in performing the cut, should not be made a notch normal, but as small as possible, not to compromise the stability of the top / branch. There are many other things to say ..... I'll stop here. I repeat that this is a cut only dangerous if you don't know all the rules to make it right.

Nice!

Changing the subject slightly......nice to see I'm not the only person to use a Dolmar up a tree.....saws don't have to be orange to be good!!

Dolmar 7900 is a good chainsaw:thumbup1:

Sounds good, confidence is half the battle.

 

 

 

For a bore/release cut in the tree? make notch (not too big), bore in using the pulling chain side of the nose and then use the pushing chain to leave a good size parallel hinge (or take saw out the bore-cut and flip it round to use the pulling chain to finish the hinge), cut back leaving holding strap then make final cut like you did in the vid.

 

 

 

.

What does it mean "make notch (not too big)"? A normal notch? what measure? And what size do you leave back? 1/4, 1/3 ... (of the diameter)? I don't want to annoying you, but not to have surprises, there're rules to follow. For, I cut from I was 15 and now I'm 45 and I've never had any problem with such a kind of cut, I wanted to know what it was happened. Obviously the branch/top I'm cutting mustn't show breaking signs and the wood has to be healty. It need to make a visual assessment before making this kind of cut, otherwise, as you said, it must put some bands.

Thanks

I would do it like Giorgio.

Thank you

Good video.

The Giant Redwood video is (in my opinion) the best on here.

Thank you Stumpgrinder

Scotspine, I'd like to know how you did the cutting portions. Thanks for your reply
