I'm not sure that many people realize the work and skill it takes to do what this guy did right here by getting the tree to the ground without ruining it or his saw, or himself. It's a good feeling once you get em down. Great work.
Good stuff man! I'm getting a 572 for my next saw. I cut a huge water oak this summer in a guys yard with a barn and a dog pen near it, lol. There wasn't much flares on it, thank god, and I was just able to get through it with my 570 Husky and a 28" bar coming from each side. Climbed it and put a cable in it to pull it, shook the ground when it hit.
Tree fact for all the people that don't know the truth about tree's. Healthy, forest grown tree's, especially hardwoods, grow really fast. Oldest hardwood tree I ever cut was a white oak that was 9'8" on the stump and was only 146 years old. Cut a 54" Blue Ash today that was 85. Tree's are just like anything else that lives and breaths, it's only going to be around so long and that's it. Sure, those tree's might of lasted another 30-50 years, but they were already in decline. If the tree is cut in it's prime, far less goes to waste, and potentially the products made from tree's like this might be around for thousands of years, which to me is a far greater story to tell than rotting back to the ground.
man that's hard work. I cut two 6ft willows a few weeks ago with a Stihl 391 24" bar. I was frigging toast and soaking wet at the end of the day. Could barely move for two days... Hat's off to CT3 for that one, never done one that big and I don't think I ever will lol. Have a huge 400y/o beech tree about that size on the property, but not ever going to get that one down, will wait until it comes down naturally...
That sure is intimidating to cut a tree that big , getting some butter flies in the stomach,the feeling like walking in the ring getting ready to fight a prime Mike Tyson... great video GREAT JOB..💪💪🪓. I got a 572 XP and I love it..
I love my 572xp. I had mine a week after you uploaded your first video on it. No problems I run a 28 Tsumara on it, and the stock 20 I bought it with. My back ups are the shindaiwa 600sx, and a stihl 441c.
Did a lot of milling with my 372 for years using a 32 inch bar and a rio chain. It ran really good, even cut red oak love as wide as the mill would allow. Have a 572 coming in a couple days and can't wait to see how it pulls.
Tim, When they were putting housing projects in the Beaverton, Oregon area around 15 years ago, I was given several white oak trees that were in the 6 and 7 foot diameter range at the stump. Surprisingly, they were unable to locate anyone interested in purchasing the logs in our area. They were glad I was interested in removing the logs bucked into 12 to 16 foot lengths. We loaded them using some 7/8 inch diameter chokers that had been left on our farm by people that logged our property of Douglas Fir and Cedar in the 1930's. By the way, the stumps left on our place using spring boards to get above the swell buts were cut between 8 and 12 foot high. Most of the stumps of the trees fallen in the 1930's were from 4 to 8 or more feet in diameter at 8 or 12 feet above the ground. Getting back to the oak, we utilized two large track hoes and the chokers to load the logs onto my trailer. I milled the logs using our Lucas swing blade sawmill. The Lucas mill works great milling very large logs. The white oak in our area doesn't have large swell buts like the trees you took down. There was not a lot of taper, 6 to 12 inches on a 16 foot log. The trees were that way down to about 2 feet above the ground. For your information I used my Jonsered 910 with a 48 inch bar to buck the logs to length. You did a bang up job getting those big trees down. If you come across any more, I would like to see you try spring boards to get above the swell buts when doing the falling. That should be very entertaining!
Amazed that 576 or 572 pulled that 36" that well. Impressed. Nice job. As much as it hurts to see such a large tree gone and off to the mill but it's better than waiting to late and watching it rot out. Great video and explanation. After watching not sure I'm so loyal to Stihl. I dont see a 460 doing that. Stay safe
Wow. Incredible. I enjoyed seeing this video. I think that tree has a life span and a purpose just like we do in this world. Maybe I'm wrong. Glad it wasn't a giant redwood though. I hope to get to see those trees one day.
Tim that brought back good memories back in the day. saw the heart out of it not Splinter pulling it. If that log 16 foot long 47 inches at the little end it would have 1936 board feet Dole scale we used to run 2100 Husqvarna with a Oregon hard wood chipper chain good video.
Wow what a crash and what a tree. Awesome job man I couldn’t imagine the rush you felt as it went down. I’ve run saw a good bit in my life and I can say a tree like that will keep ya in shape. It’s a lot of work running a saw like that. Sweet
Larry Hottle as long as it doesn’t get center rot, and there are no houses nearby,have at it! But when Hurricane Isabel hit Virginia in2003, we had just taken down 14 large pine and oak, out of the 35 that were there,on a one acre lot! We still lost two more, and two of our neighbors trees ended up in our yard, but no houses were hit. Several neighbors had houses completely cut in half! The area was Petersburg’s first subdivision, built in1946. Most of the trees were young, when the Civil war was going on around them.
Nice felling. I have run the xcut chains on my 550xp mk2 and am really impressed with the cutting ability of a semi-chisel. Have been wanting to try the full chisel xcut for my 572. I'm no pro tree guy, but I find full house chains are better for the 572 when felling. For some reason, the skip tooth chains seem to bind when making the face cut where I don't have that same issue with full house chains; maybe it's where the peak torque/rpm is?
Retired now and still missing doing 2 of these big stems a day here in Northern BC Canada. Wonderful days outside making good money. Ahh, those were the days my friend.
I turn the oiler wide open on all my saws when I get them. Husky’s are designed even with oiler wide open they will still run out of gas before the oil does. It does good with the 36 on it.
Да, здоровый дуб!!! Хорошая пила, хорошая работа! Я не вальщик и не так много пилю, но люблю пилить, и одна из моих цепных пил достаточно мощная и годится для такой работы, это Makita DCS 7900. Пилил ей один раз сухой дуб который в диаметре был немного поменьше но всё равно здоровый для наших мест.
As a logger some of you don’t realize the landowners want it cut for $$$ it’s not always up to the logger. Some don’t however also. I’ve cut tracks on River bottoms that literally broke my heart to do. But it’s all part of the business. If it was mine personally it would get left.
Great job. Would bee nice to follow this tree to the end of processing. Loading, hauling to mill, then sawing at the mill. Also, as asked below by others, how old is this tree. Could you count the rings? Must be over 400 years. Then the value of the logs and lumber. Thanks. That sound hitting the ground was something else.
Is that field going to pasture or replanted in pine plantation? If it was my property those 2 giant oaks would've stayed for wildlife value or future enjoyment either way you look at it. No tree hugger here, just my opinion.
Those are great to leave as seed trees. A tree that tall especially being in a flat terrain area cast the seeds a long ways and promote regeneration. But, as others said now the lot is open wind or lightning likely would’ve taken it out. Besides that all the scaring to the ground probably destroyed the roots and it wouldn’t died anyways.
Big is actually a breeze until it gets real big aka more than double bar length. When the saw is dogged you're not doing much. (15 years of pro falling)
That's good to know, I am debating a 572 with a 30 inch bar, since husky are not making anything bigger atm. And want something lighter than 3120 that I have. Have a 372 but it would struggle with a 30 inch bar
I think Chad did an excellent job of cutting the tree down he was safe about doing it and watching everything that he was doing being very careful that's a good thing to do
What did yall sell that for Regular lumber or veneer log ? Most of the saw mills in my area of virginia wouldnt be able to saw it . It would have to be sold as veneer log ..
As a Botanist the tree looks as it has withstand drought and heavy rains followed by years of wash off by the exposed root base. True survivor until it was commissioned to fall. Not the sawyers fault. But the land owners. I ama sawyer as well and we do what we have to do to keep the lights on.
Nice job, its VERY noticeable just how fuel efficient strato cylinder designed saws are to the old traditional 2T designs. U just get so much more work dine per tank.
I must admit, I was wrong. I had serious doubts about the 572xp handling the 36" bar. I can admit when I am wrong. I had thought to myself that the 572 would be a good saw for pine and poplar but not necessarily enough saw for hardwood of any size, I was wrong. I think I am going to buy one and run a 24" bar and chain on it and I will be plenty happy with that. Thanks for the video Tim, I've been waiting for something like this. I understand your affiliation with Husqvarna but I believe you still capable of giving a fair and honest opinion of the equipment you run.
@@cotontop3 and I'm having a problem with the clip that holds the screw keeps popping off and it did it 3 times and I'm waiting for them to get back to me
Man that tree was a tank for sure. I love my 372 they haven't change that model for a long time until that 572 came out. Do you like that newer saw better then that 372
Huge timber. Any idea what each log will weigh and the board feet in them? Did anyone think to count the rings? Think about the history of time they have seen. Be safe and God bless.
Man that tree made a sound that I've never heard before in my life. I bet it sounded better in person. Watching you cut that massive tree got my blood pumping for sure. Would that tree be too big for a track cutter to take down?
Man, good job!!! The 572xp did a great job!!
I'm not sure that many people realize the work and skill it takes to do what this guy did right here by getting the tree to the ground without ruining it or his saw, or himself. It's a good feeling once you get em down. Great work.
I love cutting, sawing and milling but I would have given that ol grandaddy oak a pass. It'll take 1000 years to replace it. Mixed feelings here.
The bigger the better
Yes sir Nathan that was a old tree. I would have let her live
bet that weren't more than 250 yrs !
Regardless... I would have passed it by.
Takes a lot of time to get one that big
Seriously impressed by that 572 running a 36" bar without skip chain. As you said not the same torque as the 395 but got the job done without crying!
Full comp chain

That’s a awesome tree. Great job on taking it down. Not many people can cut a tree like that lots of preparation to cut one like that. Great video
My dad, rip he would have really enjoyed this video- he cut logs in Ms in the 70s-80s with P52 Pioneer Chainsaws-heavy saws Old school logger
That's so cool, I bet they cut like a boss, those men where 10 times tougher in those days ..😎
Impressive cut .. this is a real man cut ... Like cutting down the Eiffel Tower, massive !!!!

That looks like the trees here in northern California. We get oaks around 12' , redwoods around 25'. That was awesome I have fell a few....lol
I am getting one of these saws this week, I'm pretty excited.
You could get a few table tops out of that beast… another incredible video Sir. The sound it made as it hit the ground…Wow.

Sequoia is more impressive, they are wider at the bottom. I have a redwood in my yard in Mississippi!
I felt like I was watching Avatar. Wow, though, I would've like to have that log to mill, I hate to say. I love the smell of freshly cut oak.
Kinda mixed feelings seeing that beast come down. 😥 Hopefully they'll make something nice out of it.
Toothpicks hopefully

That 572 did an amazing job with that long of bar in a big ole oak
Impressed I definitely have to get me one of those lol

Better to take it down when its healty then when it's dead and rotting away
wow that was a monster tree great video Tim thanks. like to see what its worth and weighs or what not once the mill get it.
What an impressive tree! Sad to see it go. But a beautiful job felling it mate! I can appreciate how hard of a job that was to drop!
You do very good work.would like to come south and work with you sometime.Been doing it for 40 years now retired like your videos
Is this actually good technique?
Extremely amazing felling, WOW..! Brilliant work..
Is that field going to pasture or replanted in pine plantation? If it was my property those 2 giant oaks would've stayed for wildlife value or future enjoyment either way you look at it. No tree hugger here, just my opinion.
Craig Fuller I would have left em as well. Just for the fact that you hardly ever see trees this big anymore.
Probably wouldn’t have lasted due to wind and lightning. But they were awesome trees. Must be good ground there to not a hollow spot anywhere

Is it that bar making the saw bog a bit more than it usually does?
Just finished watching the rest of the video, thanks for explaining
Definitely impressive for a 70cc saw Cottontop .
Good job! Cutting those big trees is like pouring concrete, it's a lot of work and once you start you can't stop till its finished.
Big is actually a breeze until it gets real big aka more than double bar length.

As a Botanist the tree looks as it has withstand drought and heavy rains followed by years of wash off by the exposed root base. True survivor until it was commissioned to fall. Not the sawyers fault. But the land owners. I ama sawyer as well and we do what we have to do to keep the lights on.
