Not really offended, just got aggravated, I tried to agree to disagree, I tried to give credit to different terrain, species, weather, etc... but it seemed like it just wasn't possible for some people to see that just MAYBE things could be different from what they are used to or trained so...

Yes Father, spank me or send me to the corner. :rolleyes: Tell ya what, you do things your way and I will do them mine. Theres nobody else's ass on the line except mine and yours when the saw is running and the trees are falling. I am not in the business of training or trying to teach ANYBODY...

Ive cut very few coniferous trees, probably 100,000 ft or less and that was mostly pine so I cant say as to the differences. Of those I have cut, I remember them being way less prone to splitting than hardwoods though so I can see how getting away from the stump is very viable.

All of this I agree with. I never said I stood at every stump and played ring around the roses with falling trees. In closing, we all do it the best way we know how and so far its worked for us, we are still here! I think it would be a great idea for us to go to each others job sites and watch...

Im sure its different depending on location, tree type, understory, terrain, etc... Where I do most of my cutting is in the hills and once you get the bottom cut out, the ones on the hillside generally will go downhill and I make it a point to try to fell my trees into an already open spot...

JIMMINEY FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS!!! Im sorry Magnus, but theres no way in Hades that Im cutting a heavy leaner, letting it go the way its leaning, with a cable tied in it above my head!!! You know whats going to happen??? I will tell you whats going to happen, that butt cut is going to kick back off...

I can send them to an email, I can send them to another cell phone, other than that Im lost?

Is there a way to post them straight from my phone? I haven't used photobucket in so long I doubt it would work anymore and this computer is so old I don't remember how to do it that way either. I quit posting pics about 7 or 8 years ago for personal reasons and just haven't got back into it...

Trust me Magnus, I know how to cut timber. I average 1 to 1.5 mil ft per year, I will be 54 next week, been doing this all my life and Im a 3rd generation logger. If youre cutting veneer white oak or walnut you dang well better get that cut right.

That's one way it can happen, that can be prevented. When its a standing tree that's worth more than the saw youre using you better stay in that cut or else you will end up with some VERY expensive firewood when the tree splinters.

I would say I would take a pic for you the next time it happens but the very first thing I do when putting a new saw into service now days is to remove a set of dogs. I normally remove the inside set btw. Clutch covers are cheaper than crankcases!

I agree, the dogs on the 550-562 xp saws are HORRIBLE! I just started playing with these saws cutting timber and the dogs have GOT to be replaced. One thing I would like to add that some aren't going to agree with me on is that I PREFER only ONE set of dogs on a felling saw. The reason is that...
