Hi. I had tree in my yard blow over, where the roots broke and the rootball is sticking straight up to the sky 10 feet I tried to find out how to remove the roots/rootball in this situation, but could only find videos online of people cutting at the base, and then the rootball flings back into...

Well, tree is now cut up. I got my spare part yesterday. My sprocket cover had split (issue wasn't a bar or chain) and the nuts would vibrate off. Thanks to all. I feel a little guilty, as there were some small spots with space under the length of the section that i didn't notice before. In...

This stuff is maybe second nature to you guys, but for a hobbyist, this has turned out to be one of the best threads i've been a part of in my life. I can't believe all the awesome, creative and effective techniques everyone has suggested. And all in one place. Regarding using a second...

it's an ash, so bark is pretty thick. good tip about the bark. i will use that for sure. stupid question as the can't hook isn't in front of me...but i guess i have to remove the "stand" in order to perform "roll" only?

no winch!

nice tip, thanks

i had no idea this would cause the tree to raise up. pretty amazing. not sure if i will need to get to this method, but maybe easiest

interesting idea. thanks. will save this one also in my tips. what happened was my hyper neighbors couldn't mind their business and they cut the small limbs off the downed trunk. otherwise i'd have more opportunity for space underneath. the vultures came in for the wood and because they are...

i've been able to do this on prior logs. just concerned with this piece. i gotta get out there and try to roll it with the can't hook first, and the truck roll second. won't be able to get out there for a few days

will do, thank you. i'm waiting for a chainsaw part to come in, but will look for this

wow, thats awesome idea! i do have space for my truck to do that!

Ooops. I used the wrong term. I do have a cant hook/peavey. I don't have a grapple. But my concern is i can't lift/move it with my cant hook because it is so large. Is the right technique to cut almost to ground, and then try to lift the portion with the cant hook where it should break at...

Hi, I have one of those grapple bars...to help get a log off the ground. But this log is over 15 feet and 28 inch diameter. I am thinking there is no way i could move it. What is best technique for me to follow to cut it up for firewood? Thanks

since the piece is super heavy, can i keep it on the ground, then create some frame for the router sled, and make angle/slope for the sled the same angle that the piece is tilted on the ground. do you think that is possible? for the PEG, how would i apply? thinly with paintbrush, or as thick...

I had the tree felling company save me a slice of the trunk of this copper beach, maybe 6 inch thick. (i'll have to measure exactly) I have a couple questions. 1) do you think the wood is a good specimen? or is copper beach not really beautiful wood 2) i was thinking to make a table top out...

I've struggled with this in the past and never tried to find a solution. I even tried to google it and couldn't locate any posts for help with my search terms Anyway, when the tree falls, some branches go deep into the ground. If they happen to be 10 inch or less in the ground, maybe i can...

As you can see in the picture in above posts, there is a barn in front of the tree. This may cause some blocking of sunlight getting to the trunk. The barn is directly to the south, so sun path is on other side of barn. 1) Should i cut lowest branches dangling over the garage to help...

after closer examination, looks like this Kretzschmaria to me. after some web searches, i'm struggling to find any suggestions on how to even slow or minimize it. i guess outlook isn't good, but any suggestions of anything i can do to help?

The part of the trunk where bark flaked off has different densities of wood, some are spongy, a couple I was able to stick my finger through up to the middle knuckle. In addition to cambistat and agri-fos penta-bark, should I do something for bugs or for this spongy area?
