Trees Other People Have cut

[Maintenance Chief]

I photographed this one at "not one of my parks" but at a state park.
Not sure if they were thinking about a sizwell or what? Tree was already gone.

Sizweels work better when there’s hinge for it to pull on.

Geez. You’re also spot on about there needing to be some solid wood to take the pull.

A lot of pictures on here are scary, but this looks like somebody at the point of the Dunning-Kruger curve that just doesn’t know what they don’t know, which makes them just that much more dangerous.

And that right there is exactly the problem in my area “that’s how dad did it” so that’s how everyone does it. Like you say they don’t realize how dangerous it is. Made a lot of widows

Got to cut up these Ash trees that someone else felled.
They were moved a few yards away from the stumps so I'd say they were pushed with a digger while someone felled them.
Nice chair.

Very professional.

I went to look at a job that I got underbid on. Roadside Ash trees. I drove by them while it was going on. The guy was wearing a tracksuit and a brush cutter face shield. He also looked like he weighed a good twenty stone.

Anyway, this is the quality of the man who does it cheaper.

This is my favourite one. You have heard of "notch and drop" right?
Well this is called "notch and walk".
He just put a (bad) face cut in the biggest tree of the lot and *f-worded off . Bear in mind these are roadside trees with Ash dieback.

I was also back at the place that started this thread. They have been at it again, here are some of their first class felling cuts. They barberchaired a big Ash.
