The way Stig did it was smooth and effective. Cutting in someone's backyard, I don't see any problem with doing it like Sean mentioned- "reinsert the bar in the kerf, to cut the meat out of the back cut, setting up the backstrap."

:thumbup:

Cool system

Oh ok got it. Cudos to you for being mistaken for a young buck. So a forwarder comes in after and picks up all the logs, must have to drive thru a fair amount of heavy duty brush and slash to get some of them hiding in the top.

Nice vid and sharp saws! Why did you take your saw out of the back cut when inserting the wedge?

Good post, Stig So Dave, cable skidding is rare in VT these days?? Geeeeez

Matching cuts is very much preferred but plenty of trees go over just fine without perfect matching cuts, afaik.

Yup, that is an enviable result

Start with bar tip in a clean spot on stump, cut with a pulling chain and keep the tip inside of the stump and work your way around the stump till you get to where you started and the stump is cut free. The sawdust blowing out of the kerf from the pulling chain will remove all the dirt from the...

It has become known as the Jed method, or simply, Jedding the stump

Yes but I thought 'half round chisel' is known as 'semi chisel' and square chisel is known as chisel. And rounded-corner chisel is known as chipper. Maybe I is wrong about the terminology.

Good point

Ha just watched Marks' vid. I hadn't watched it before because the title page of it showed that annoyingly tall top cut. While there were a few things in there I don't ascribe to (ESPECIALLY the top cut first), I still say mark is a world class tree cutter. He'd demolish full time logging if it...

Their high priority goals are probably using the least equipment possible as well as the least expensive equipment because nice gear will just get wrecked, lost, stolen, or not used. And based on what I've seen in my locale, productivity and time-spent issues are virtually non existent. They are...
