- Felling Timber with precision directional cuts and wedging trees to avoid stump-shot or breakage that would negatively effect scale and create deductions at the mill.. Redline Timber Faller, Dave Bradd on the modified MS 460 w/ 32'' light bar, laying em' in proper.
200 years ago in Michigan our timbers were like the west coast we started something. with that I feel for your every day & night my friend God bless! And thank you for this.
Thx for yer'all continued support!! Now go hit 'em a little harder.. :)
The 460mag is such a great saw !!! Very versatile and won't kill you if you run it for 8 hours unlike a 660 or 880.
..and she keeps up with the 660's until ya get to beaver-tailing the 32'' bar.. then that 066 shines like diamonds :)
@Jona V. ..Douglas Fir, Southern Oregon... tall, wind shook(cork-screwed up), very little taper(two 33' + 21' + top) and threading the needle through the canopy into the stand.. these are full of energy that can unload in strange ways. When falling on a selective harvest.. a good day-rate cutter, taking a couple extra minutes on the stump, will save thousands of $$ on the clean-up and salvage :) .."Some days are production, some are save everything including the tree your cuttin"... :)'
I like the comments at the end. Great perspectives to keep.
Smaller trees seem like they could cause you to want to get ahead of yourself in profit and safety
Absolutely!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time. Your 460 purrs like a kitten. I just did a top end rebuild on my 260 ; hope it runs half that good. Hey, please do a video showing how you fall a tree using the bore cut method. I’m just a home owner cutting wood for heat, but would like to know more about it. Thanks again, Rob.
Thx, appreciate the comments :) ..be sure to check out my "how to modify stihl 039 muffler" video, use the same technique on your 260, you'll be purring too!! ..Keep an eye out or sub, as I'll be working on some bore/plunge cut situations to post up, good idea
The first tree was a perfect Pirouette Fall!! Well done man!! I'm training to become an Urban Forester and Logger. I have one of the rare 360 STIHL Saws. It's currently being gone over by my team's Lead Climber. It's getting Ported, and I'm swapping out the 25 inch Oregon Bar, for a 24 inch Sugi Hara Bar. Then I'll be ready for Falling (smaller) Timber. It'll have to do for now, until I can get to Madsen's Saw Shop, and get a new 661.
thanks! and awesome for you!! we all gotta start somewhere.. it's not all about the size of your power-head or length of the bar, focus on good cuts and hitting your lie.. take advise from solid cutters willing to share knowledge, not from "know it all" commenters, who were "bOrN" cutting 20mbf per day without a day of training, they be wanting to bag on your accomplishments :))
Great video, I hope you do more falling videos.
Thanks! ..for encouragement and outstanding comment as well :) Definitely more to come, heaps of footage to edit while warding off winter. A BIG thumbs-up to you for subscribing and/or sharing. Stay tuned and tuned-up!
@1moonbuggy, have seen many loggers use the tip of their bar when bucking like you did. Can you explain or make a video addressing this? I have always been told to avoid the tip due to kick back.
It has to do with where on the tip of the bar you start (touch the wood) anywhere from the very point of the bar upwards is a dangerous area because the saw pulls the bar up and back when the teeth bite. Also an experienced sawyer will start a dangerous cut before his saw reaches full rpm therefore eliminating most of the speed and torque IF the saw did grab and kickback.
A good example would be a under cut in a log pile, where your using the back of the bar while trying to keep alot of bar from extending through the log and scaring other logs.
Try looking at a bar from the side and picture the chain going around from the top, down and underneath and picture in your head what will happen to the bar if it grabs in to wood at or above the very point of the bar. Conversely any contact below the very point of the bar or underneath the bar will pull the bar forward instead of pushing it up and back.
Sorry for the long informational but hopefully you can picture it in your mind as to how the bar is pulled or pushed depending on where on the tip contact occurs.
@@joeisslow1638 very informative thank you for taking the time!
certainly, video to come.. More Pay!! its to relieve pressure/bind of the pulpwood around the circumference of the tree, the main reason is to prevent slapping, stripping or pulling fiber and thereby reducing the payable diameter of the logs.. also increases predictablity and measure of control while bucking
Very good.
Many many thanks!!
better head to alaska an mow down some sitka spruce...them are some nice old growth firs you falling...bucking huge logs awesome...are you on coast?

Lol...way too much looking at cuts and BS on these little trees. You will starve to death taking so long to fall timber like he does...
I get it. He has been falling...maybe for a few years, and now thinks he is an expert and wants to make videos to show on the interweb.
He isn't an expert yet be a long shot...
You are as Wright as rain still a want to be
