Everyday day man's tree work and cutting thread

I agree with both of you. Even with the correct "lean" the wind can do unpredictable things.

Always better safe than sorry! You cannot stop it once is starts going the wrong way! An ounce of prevention is worth 10 pounds of cure!

If there are structures, roads or wires, I tie it!

The Maasdam rope puller is fast and effective.

Any of you tree guys whip the end of your ropes?

 

[Michpatriot]

I used big heat shrink tube followed by thin C\A glue..when it smokes, its done. My 3\4 bull rope ends have held up good so far.

Another windblown tree cut up in the cut bank. This the majority of my cutting - wind blown/storm blown trees. Used my Walkerized MS261 CM to cut the top up in the bank to unload most of the weight. Mastermind MS462CM for the heavier work in the road.
