farmer loggers from the mid west
WOW! I resemble that comment. Until you laid it out there like that I never realized.......
farmer loggers from the mid west
i am willing to concede perhaps i should not have recommended this method to a homeowner, who likely lacks the necessary experience to know if this is safe or the best approach for his tree
but if the man intends to cut a tree down, is aware it will hang up in a second tree and wants to be sure the butt comes free, in a controlled direction after the tree hangs up. i just offered an option i know works because i occasionally do it that way
it puts the butt on the ground, in front of the stump and ensures the saw doesnt bind
but i will concede i lack all the necessary information to say, "do it this way"
i use so many different cuts in the course of a day, each one intended to bring the limb, or tree down in a controlled fashion, meant to control the way it falls and if possible, the way it lands
you guys can do things the way you do them, im not here to question methods, and i resent you questioning mine
i dont talk out of my ass, i dont say things work unless they are tried and true for me
you lay a tree over the way i described, one of two things is going to happen, its going to remain propped up in the other tree, butt dug into the ground, or its going to fall, the way its leaning, either rolling out of or sliding off, the tree it landed in
and given the information provided, 16" (easy enough to be sure of) and 100' (almost certainly a much lower number) and many other trees near by (making me infer tall poles not thick full cone shaped pines) ill bet on the latter
i will also concede a sloping back cut is almost never correct and for my way to work your cuts better be perfect and the tree needs to stop falling before it reaches 30 degrees or so

Not seein it byyee!
and youre a jackass
ive removed thousands of trees, my safety record is impeccable, i know what works and what doesnt
more then that, i know why it works or why it wont
a humbolt notch and a sloping back cut will allow you lay one tree into another, softly, then safely piece it out doing little or no damage to the second tree, there are a lot of variables, thats why theres more then one way to go about things
in typing this, ive changed my mind
youre an idiot and a jackass
somehow that doesnt surprise me
that farmer cut
all the bashing and flaming of me not one of you offered any real advise to the homeowner asking for help
good work guys
The man that you are insulting has more mbf in ONE tree than your "thousands" I would bet my paycheck on that. . .
Why are farmer loggers from the mid west so ####### cocky?
Don't you have some slugs to salt?

If you guys can't decide what to do we could always get HBRN over here. He'll advise a slopping back cut and he and T the T-Man can go skipping off through the woods, hand in hand, gazing adoringly at each other, and singing the lumberjack song from Monty Python.
Don't foget the poke cut.
