That was a whole lotta tree. With that much weight, and perhaps some internal rot (?), maybe no reasonable hinge would have held up to the sudden shift of weight to the back cut. Obviously a much stouter pull rope was in order. For true, dumping that monster onto a road is an odd choice as well.

I'm always shocked myself!)

Why folks wait over an abvious problem perplexes me at times

Winter has come to us.

Oh, and. Better to work in there thanin the rain as much as we are getting currently.

Basic stuff. Fact is, the mechanics test me regular. "Stephen, would you look at this saw real quick. Acting goofy. Think I figured it out. 🤔 " Go over look, usually something simple and I guess I'm the "wiz" kid sometimes. Mostly work the floor and registars. More in that store to remember than...

Great pics. So that lil guy Nungubon could destroy you in a fight? I presume the answer is yes but it’s still crazy bc he’s so much smaller

Are you learning anything new about saws there or is it mostly just basic stuff

Pulled 4 dead, crusty maple away from their lean/ a house. No clean up. Another bigger maple to Put on Ground Only, along with a half- failed willow and a big cherry prune. Sequential because of sprawling limbs. Cool and dry...zero sweat. Miniloader and throw line-placed pull ropes...

finally… still waiting for my grapple and large volume shovel but whatever. moved some dirt and woodchips around. fun little machine.

That’s not a guarantee…..sometimes it don’t.

I think he left too big a hinge cos he was worried, so the rope couldn’t do its job. A better hinge, wedges and more controlled pull, but adrenaline got the better of him and he called for ‘Mo power’ and a career defining clusterfck ensued. Lessons to be learned. Edit. I just rewatched it...

Maybe pump steam around the hinge for a few minutes to soften it.

Should make for a good video at least, longer viewer engagement, more time for ads, ect. I tried this on a white oak, It didn't help noticeably

it‘s as funny as it is sad.

i‘m on my way to pick up my wheel-loader. it took me three month to figure out what kind of mounting plate it has. dealer and manufacturer were not helpful. well ..hair will grow back ;)

Thou shalt not "YouTube video how to" on trees. Kaveman hath spoken, thus it is law. Really though, what in the actual F$#K? They obviously had a climber up to take off the limbs and logs on the ground, why not the rest of it? I just do not understand stupid.

Feeling you. Why I took the job at the saw shop

@Marc-Antoine picture please! When I originally made that sketch, it was from trying to figure out how to get brittle stuff to hinge. Everything I had heard was redwood or cedar based. I tried gap face with stump shot for a while and found they had to be cut exactly right and pulled to hinge...
