Sotc and Gary, doing it that way you tend to miss the branches on the underside, That doesn't matter if you've got somebody running over the logs on the deck, but here they are send directly to the mill, without being decked first, at least not in a way where you can get to them. We use these...

As for the swedish video, did you notice the rear chainbrake? The swedish logging schools have started to use that, I think it is a overdoing it. The limbing is done the same way here, with one big exception. That was an instruktion video, so he didn't step forward with the chain running. In...

Gary was the one to bring kickback up. I don't see it as a concern, except for novices.

When I was in California , a lot of the limbing was done at the cold deck, after the logs had been brought out. Here we finish then as we go. As for placing wedges, you don't need much in the way of wedges if you faal a headleaner. We place one in the first cut, next to the backstrap. Then if...

Here is a drawing of how we do it, hope you can make sense of it ( and my handwriting) After doing the undercut, bore in a little less than all the way back in the left side, cut forward, leaving hingewood. Bore behind hingewood on right side and cut around the tree, the last bit of wood to be...

That's okay, gary. I just got a little bit of steam pressure buildt up there for a while. I've cooled of again now. As for the bore cut. Some of the hardwoods here are very prone to splitting. If you look at some of the photos of mature beech forest I posted under " what is the biggest...

What the heck has happened to your sense of humour? Didn't it survive the election. When I used the word "evolved" I was joking. I actually thought that was pretty obvious, but like I've said before, I'm writing in a language not that's not my own, so sometime the finer nuances may get by me. I...

I have two things to say to that: One, we use WAY shorter bars than americans, having long ago evolved beyond the point where we could only fell a tree, if we could reach all the way through from one side. Shorter bars give better control against kickback. Second: The use of skiptooth chain is...

I totally disagree on that. I start my apprentises up by telling them to borecut all trees that have some size to them. Then when they learn to figure lean, which is a lot more tricky in hardwoods than in softwoods, they are allowed to cut from the back. You won't get "lots of hours of...
