    just cut down a dead tree that was approx 30' tall. this method worked like a charm and it fell within about 6" of where I was aiming. Thanks!!!

    His cuts match up. It's on the ground. Looked like an easy one. He didn't even have to take the top out of it, put a rope in it or anything. Easy peazy. Good job!

    No gloves. No chaps. Using saw left handed. Left a Dutchman. No wedges. Holding too thin. Stump shot uneven. "That's the way it's done." OK, if you say so.

    It's an MS460 with a 32" bar. Although I went with the salesmans advice regarding the bar size, it's larger than what Stihl advises to use. We burned out the clutch a two months ago, so stay within Stihl's recommendations regarding bar size. BTW, although the saw was used only three times on the job, and the paint was hardly missing on the bar, the saw was past the 90 day warranty, so I had to pay for the repairs. Oh well. Thanks for watching!

  • @canamrider7195
    @canamrider7195 10 лет назад +6

    Another thing, best practices is to supliment the back-cut with falling wedges, in case the tree has some bias and wants to settle back. You can arrest that movement and ensure you don't get your bar pinched stuck.

    Hello Shark! Yes, there are times when head protection wouldn't make a difference. It's similar to wearing a seatbelt; your chances of surviving an impact are greatly increased, but there are times when it wouldn't make a difference. As a rule, it's still good practice (especially for beginners) to wear head, eye and ear protection at all times. I agree; seasoned workers, (including myself) are able to recognize predictable hazards, but we should lead by example. Thank you for your post!

  • @blevins923
    @blevins923 10 лет назад

    It's also important to match the right saw to the tree. What I mean is this. I once tried to cut down a tree with about 16" trunk with a MS 171 Stihl. It was a loosing battle. The saw was greatly under powered for the job. It's also a good idea to have some wedges handy to prevent pinching.

    • @karlrovey
      @karlrovey Год назад

      Yeah, a 171 isn't intended for that. If you are such using a 171 in that situation, you have to be patient to avoid bogging.

    Probally the best video ive seen on tube on cutting trees.LOL I don't need to learn I've been logging and tree trimming since 1990,but i haven't for a few yrs now but i like to watch.Are you guys from PA?Probally heard of Pennlines(1990-98)if you are.I always used jonsenred 670 or 2077 turbo.When i was logging(1998-2003-4)I preferd the 670 over the 044 or 460 that the boss had,cause the weight, cutting speed.liked my 2077 over the 066 he had too.I always used a 24"bar square tooth oregon chain.

    Initially, it was around 80 feet. Once all the brush was removed and cut what was in the video, there was only about 50' or so. I really don't recall the diameter, but I would guess about 28" or so. Thanks for watching!

      +Mats Granqvist well for a guy like me that had a smallish tree to cut down and no clue whatsoever technique wise this served it's purpose for me 100% perfectly...I had never even kicked over a chain saw!
      I simply searched methods and this one I found adequate. I'm still alive with all limbs intact so I'm happy. I am sick of watching videos and then begin to read comments and every man and his dog seem to have to slag people off...it makes me sick how disrespectful people have become to each other these days as though having a computer grants everyone a license to abuse people, especially on social media. Some people can't say a good thing about anything...sad in my eyes!

    One tip:
    Lay a series of log sections spaced perpendicular along the line of fall.
    The tree felled will lay upon them and will be bucked for crosscuts.
    Never bind your bar again.

It was the first clearly-presented video on how to "cut down a tree" at the time, and it quickly went viral! It is still the most-viewed video of its kind on the planet, which was unimaginable at the time; I still find it unbelievable, even when seeing the statistics!
    Russia, Congo, Tanzania, Turkey, Greece, Cambodia, Serbia...literally every continent and nearly every country on Earth has seen this video! :)

    Nicely done video. I agree with you about hardhat in general. But also with you about ear and eye protection. Umm, those kevlar chaps do seem a good idea though, although no one I know has any. But I like the idea of them being able to stop the saw as the fibers bind the chain. A buddy of mine was cutting and the chain cut into his jeans and tore them, oddly, he didn't have a nick on his skin. I guess everyone has close calls that you say, "dang, God must still want me around."
