Finally got a chance to taker a look at that chain yesterday... BIG difference from one side to the other in length of teeth, and it was still cutting pretty straight so though I didn't take a close look at the rakers, it pretty much has to be as you thought... someone must have adjusted the...

Want to know why???? next time you walk by a mirror, take a look!

There is always a reason... for many the reason is "because someone told me to do it like this".... Not me though.... I do it because, its the easiest , fastest, most reliable, way to get the tree where it needs to go... with consideration for all the many variables...

http://www.tcia.org/TCI-publications/tci-magazine/pdfs/07-2004-TCI-Mag_0.pdf starts on pg 8 I just re-read the article.. it's actually a little embarrassing .. I've changed my techniques in some respects since then... worst thing about the article is the pictures. I didn't have a good one...

try harder next time.. its too late for this one!

I didn't sharpen the saw.. Barely used it.. Just showed up to put the tree on the ground.. Noticed it was cutting kind of funny.. Felt like it was biting pretty good sometimes, but not all the time.. Might be from the bar rails being off, or more likely a problem with the chain. I need to get...

If you had simply asked about the corner cuts on page 2 we wouldn't be here on page 10... But you want to criticize, and you're still talking shit, like you know something! then don't come asking for my understanding.. Figure it out for yourself... I did! And its no big deal, pretty simple...

If you read the o.p. Squish, you'll remember that this thread was about 2 guys standing too close to the DZ causing me to waive them off, at which point the skid steer op pulled early before the back cut was completed. I will use the tapered hinge regularly when most guys wouldn't. Perhaps to...

That's like saying Kevin Bingham hasn't been taught to climb on a tautline hitch..

saying that hinge was "compromised" by the corner cuts is like saying a 7,000 lb rope is compromised by using a running bowline to lower a 150 lb limb. Technically its true, but completely irrelevant to the function.

Does anyone else think this hinge is "Compromised" by the side cuts ???

I've seen trees get pulled off the gun by side tearing fibers holding on one side of the hinge. Only on smaller diameter stringy conifers, like hemlocks. Usually with an open face notch and a tree of any size, there will be too much momentum for any tearing of the fibers in the cambium to pull...

I thoroughly enjoy an intelligent discussion of the many detailed aspects of falling and rigging... Love it actually... nobody wants to play that game... you want to talk shit? don't expect to wake up smelling roses

That's hilarious... you know I WANT to tell you.... but not enough to actually do it.. you're gonna lose that bet....

You're not alone there. Everyone else did too

print it out and put it on the fridge!

Got anything else??? anyone???

the long stringy hinge fibers straight across the back of the hinge are a clear sign that the hinge had A LOT of holding ability... 2-3" across the entire hinge and spiking to 4-6" in some areas... I rarely see hinges with that much holding ability cut by anyone else.... So I would call that a...

Where did all the experts go... this site just ain't what it used to be .... oh well... guess everything changes... that's just life
