A very good decisionJetsam thanks for your candid comments, guess I will let a pro do this for me.
I've climbed many years ago with a Small Poulan 2150. It was tricky but I had the skill to drop trees from the top down. I used good climbing system. Here are some common mistakes that can kill a man. #1. Taking to much of the tree off at one time. When the weight of the falling top goes over and pushes back as it falls the tree trunk can vibrate quiet a bit. If you are not secured you can fall. If the tree is dead it can snap off and fall with you on it. I recommend taking off smaller pieces rather than large pieces.Thanks buzz sawyer, do you think I can top a pine tree and work my way down with a Poulan deluxe xxv. It is a old saw maybe in the 70’s but runs well. After I get lower like 20-25’ I’d use my larger saw.
as long ay your "pro" isnt named Matt, you should be good
but yes, I agree with the others, topping a tree is much more dangerous than it looks, and even I (a relatively experienced climber) get sketched out sometimes doing it
not tryin to be rude, but yes, hire a pro, dont jump in head first into topping a tree with a 70's poulan and no experience
poulan pro, the trees will goWell, I've only got a Poulan/Craftsman. All the work I do can't be as "pro" as the Lumber Jack Matts work.
