Yesterdays fell, Beech tree, I knew there was going to be trouble when the saw started to pinch immediately I started the face cut, the saw continued getting pinched in the cut, the same started to happen with the back cut and I realized the tree was in a very bad way within, no resistance completely rotten.
The tree let out some very loud bangs and we could see the holding buttress starting to crack and split, the 88 had barely cut one side when the tree sat on the tip and wouldn't let it go, the tree then let out an impressive crack and the buttress gave way, I have a short video of it the rear buttress literally explodes out of the ground.
In hindsight I think I wouldn't have bothered with the face cut and used a faster saw to cut through the back.
I posted this yesterday on arbtalk, I think pulling the tree over with a powerful winch and no cutting would have been a better idea.
