Falling 36" DBH Euc Trunk: VIDEO

[NickfromWI]

Few years ago I put up a vid of a tree we felled. Got some good feedback. Let's do it again...

We had 6 guys for about 10 hours. Log cart was used to haul all the heavy stuff to a 40 yd dumpster in the street.

Went pretty smooth save for one close call.

The was the inaugural use of our own GRCS, though I've used them a lot at previous companies I've worked for along the way.

Anyway- have a look. Whattya think?

Hooyah...looked good to me. I did not foresee the tip swinging towards the GRCS..glad it didn't whack it (I busted a Stihl when a piece took a planned swing but forgot the backswing).

If I do one like that I'll have the orange rope guy ready to release the PW once the tree tips over.

Good video.

Worked fine. You have a bigger saw yet?

Was the overhead rope to prevent lawn damage from the impact?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Something kinda like a vertical speedline would be my guess.

Nick, next time.... Try notching the tree towards the lifting point, butt tie it at the face cut to control the drift with a fig 8 or porty, back cut to finish and lift... Park cart or truck under log and load
Fun stuff
That was not critical bro...

 

[MasterBlaster]
