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) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQbzXvWpmI0]Felling Tree Climbing Cranes and Basket. - YouTube[/ame]

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!

Dolmar 7900 is a good chainsaw:thumbup1:

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

Thank you

Thank you Stumpgrinder

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

When I teach to my classes, we discuss about all these topics, tensions, compressions, possibility of breaking, etc... If you watch at the video carefully, you can see that this branch had a big knot at few meters, so I was sure about the success of the cutting. Probably you had a very long stem without knots. Anyway, thanks for your comments. Ciao, Giorgio

Thanks Scotspine1. I can't understand why in your point of view it's dangerous ... in fact it's one of the most safer cut to do when the branch is inclined and heavy

Thanks Pete

Yes The cut at 45 degrees about, is one of the cuts that are made in these cases.

Thanks Guys

After the damages to the railing on the side of the road and thinking about the 15000-volt power line, they called me to help them. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BCzS8o_OIA&hd=1]Pioppo web cam - YouTube[/ame]

With the last law now in Italy we're obliged to get a licence to work, unfortunately as it's a new law, not every customer ask for this licence. I think courses now are quite good (unfortunately, private schools try to have monopoly of some courses and their courses are different from those wanted by law... it's a bit complicated...) In the last years I've been called as instructor by a firm working in the subject of safety in the workplace Corsi di formazione hope to have been clear... bye Giorgio

Hi everyone and thanks. To answer to David: I had several experiences when I was a boy with old men, then I learned cutting on trees by Paolo Bavaresco (english instructor), and about cut on the floor with Granello Doro (italian instructor from Trentino). ... but I was born with a chainsaw ah ah ah

Thanks, actualy we have many cedars in the north of italy, even big. Only monumental plants are protected

Thanks David

Thanks for the compliments. MEWP = platform lift? Cranes and lifting platform were decided by those who commissioned the work, and the plant was removed because he had suffered cuts to the roots due to the construction of boundary wall ... I was sorry too

Thanks guys

I hope you'll like it
