Trees you've cut

Send me the cliff notes too. Lol
That looks like an advanced technique. Pretty cool stuff.
Thanks for sharing Skeans!

It started life as a block face with a humboldt bottom, added a siz wheel into the right side almost all the way across allowing the butt to slide over past the old growth stump well the top was heading out for the lay.

Does it do most of the sliding on the remnants of the humblot angle skank?
I've used a swizwell ( spelling?) To persaud a big pine to the side ,but I have better luck just tuning the hing for the hard wood.

The siz wheel end of the face is what allowed it to slip off to the right, the only thing left of the humboldt is where the chunk is sitting.

Damned intelligent thinking sir. It landing onto that big stump could have resulted in shattered wood, or a big jump of the stem. Better to avoid both of those situations if possible.

The bark is so thin given how big the tree is.

Didn't drop these trees with a saw I done it with the excavator relatively softwood here Stringybark but what a sunset .

I haven't been having any issues for the last week or so. Could have just been my Mainer internet.

Sometimes it's fine. Sometimes it's *s-word.

If you spent any amount of time on the forum, you would be all about trying to figure out why.

Dropped a nasty cottonwood today and diced it up/hauled it off.

What's the reason behind the weird looking back cut? That one is new to me.

 

[MustangMike]

Likely a leaner with a plunge cut and a trigger.

Notch, bore/plunge set the hinge, drop down a bit based on lots of factors, then walk to the tractor and hit the winch. It's meant to be used with equipment when pulling, using this technique the tree will not set back if you have a little tension on the rope/cable, too much and it can break the holding wood and pull it over, side lean can cause the hinge/holding wood to break and the tree to go towards that side. Use with caution and practice with it before trying it in a risky situation as with anything else.
Here's what it looks like in action. This one was leaning away from me a bit, lots of room to the left(in back of the house), but any damage to the lawn would have been easier to see from the deck and it was close to the front for hauling the brush, also closer to the edge of the yard for blowing it off when finished.
