Let’s see some stumps

Have you tried a sizwell to stear a Eucalyptus?

Nope...just getting it to hinge was the first step. I have a spar in mind to try but doubt I will get to until next winter.

A block face is kind of a full face siz....

I should say my winch was pulling a few degrees to the left of my face and the tree went right if anything…so kinda side load on hinge.

I’ve only done 2 or 3 Sizwells. Hard to justify in urban tree work. I could try topping with one, but I always forget. Never done a triple hinge but I see the merit in something like high density Eucalyptus. Seems like it doesn’t tolerate compression at all.

I have a theory that the lighter softer fibers in fir allow the harder stringier fibers to flex/expand/compress/pull. Euc is all homogeneous hard brittle fibers.

Yeah…Every time I get a chance to try to swing a tree I do even if I don’t need to.

Welcome to OPE...

 

[davidwyby]

Howdy, welcome. Might as well play the hand you’re dealt.

Ever seen 1limbleft?

 

[Single_handed]

Thank you for the welcome’s!
I have not heard of 1limbleft, I’ll google it.
But here’s an actual stump shot from a descent sized snag I dropped today. One of the bigger trees I’ve personally fallen.

I’d like to think that I could figure out a better way to cut down a tree with no instruction.

Thought I had neighbor pull that one, when did you walk through my yard? Could not figure which way I wanted it to fall.

 

[davidwyby]

Codom in a burnt area. I think I would have felled them separately.

Hard to say without seeing what it looked like before..

 

[chiselbit]

He might have done that, cut one high then did the back cut you see down lower

 

[davidwyby]

Now I’m gonna have to drive 5 hours back there to look at the logs

 

[Duce]

I hate this part, brushing out

Takes a few mins to mow a 6’ stump
