Generous chap he was too (Brian), sent me a saw oil pump. I tried to stay in contact with him, but i think he wanted to move on. Just hope he's doing well.

Giving and getting a chance is cool!

You too! Damn!! Gemini here. :/:

Quite awhile ago there were some photos posted here of someone's son that was logging a burnt out forest, and there was commentary on how hard it was on chains.

Jed, I think you just need to see trees as trees, not whether they are dirty in that context or not. It might help your powers of analysis and technique.

I would venture that with less wood still attached (side cuts), you have eliminated much of the resistance that causes the splitting and separation as the tree falls. The smaller center allows a section of wood considerably weakened compared to with the larger area still attached. Greater...

I think it really takes awhile to find the best cutting system for yourself when falling and bucking trees, a lot of experience. Besides the size of the wood, the ground you are working on, there is also your endurance factor, and that can change a bit over time as you age. It requires fitting...

I saw some literature that Husqvarna put out once on falling techniques, including with short bars. It was rather detailed with a lot of photos. Some things in there that I had never seen before, appearing to be techniques from that part of the world. It was in Japanese, so possibly...
