I dropped three loads of ash on the F550 12' flatbed at my buddy's house today. He brought out a donut and a tasty plate of rice and beans as a gesture of thanks. Ash is pretty much the only tree around here that you really need to be careful not to barberchair. While any tree has the potential...

there are definitely some cracks in the trunk. but it held together. I could have easily strapped the trunk above the cut, but I trusted it. I'm not sure if that trunk cracked when it hit the ground or it happened during the cut. The trunk was leaning and clearly bowed, but I don't think it...

The tree fell almost directly to where I was standing when taking this photo, so the kerf cut was made perpendicular to the lay. And no it's not a coos bay. I called it something similar.

Something similar this afternoon. this ash was front leaning 25 degrees or more I could have tied it up, but I trust the cut . It had so much front lean that the little kerf cut began to pinch.

Pretty sure there was a thread about the coos bay and maybe it was Rocky that mentioned he cuts them like that. Basically, shorten the side cuts up by making a kerf cut undercut. The only thing to be careful of is that you don't cut so far in as to pinch the bar, which who can really say how far...

NO tripod. I honestly didn't think there was enough wood fiber remaining between the tree and the stump to barberchair it. I was filming with an android phone. I was basically cutting a coos bay so no face was needed. I only put the front kerf undercut in because I was using such a short bar...

That was a typo above.. definitely white ASH

modified coos bay in this case means making a front kerf cut instead of a notch, which was used to shorten up the needed length of the side cuts. probably 44 to 50 inches diameter at the cut, using only a 24 inch bar. I intentionally stopped cutting so I could video the fall. as a result...
