Will watch this later...Presently have 500 or more small Ash Trees(which are dying all over Europe,) to cut above our little farm in Normandy. Forest Dept planted them in rows, two meters apart, rows 3 meters in widith from each other(enough for old Landrover when picking up wood,) and with the bramble bushes and vines, after 15 years of growth(was to be a Forest celebrating the year 2000,) is something else!!! Am getting too old for this as well at 64...Enjoy your videos...cheers...rr
@@ninjajunior4422 I was out in similar terrain yesterday on a hillside in the 'canadian shield' looking at a piece of land to build our timber frame home on. Windfallen trees everywhere Id say i spent more time balancing on fallen timber than I did on actual ground lol. This land is a breeze in comparison. Gunna have a hell of alot of work ahead of me with the chainsaw and the excavator if I decide to buy
Thanks for this video guys, enjoyed it with a cup of tea! Used Tim's method to cut down two mid-sized cyprus trees yesterday and it worked a charm, I felt safe and hit the spot! (I should have put a stick in the ground to impress my wife ;-)). I also used the stump method, using the chips for support on two old stumps, also worked perfectly. Thank you again, you are inspiring me to work more professionally and safer. Cheers, Tim (my name too)
Half way through, drinking coffee and taking a break. I was waiting for some MIRACLE HINT....lol. Nope, everything your brother does(probably better,) I have been doing and will be doing for the next 2 months. What a drag...I think I'm going to take teenage son's advice and listen to music from Iphone underneath ear protection...cheers from Normandy, France...rr
I enjoyed this video.. Your brother is so skilled with that chainsaw it's impressive to watch how fluent his movements are. He makes it look almost effortless
Great video, you are a great cameraman, great teacher, thanks for taking the time to exp,ain't your reason why you do what you do. Your brother makes it look so easy, hahaha isn't that always the way?
Funny how you get used to knowing what 3m looks like without needing to use the loggers tape, I noticed even with the tape attached and not looking at it it's almost always within a few centimeters when i stop to check, usually about 3 steps forward. :-)
Do you leave the stumps? If so, what are the benefits, if any, of doing that? Do the stumps get in the way a lot? Thank you for great content! I'm learning a lot!
if you just quickly limbed 2 flat sides on those tops they'd lay flatter on the ground and more out of the way. I try to minimize brush by maximizing firewood. but then I'm retired with a love for manicuring my forest land .
I was watching this video: "Tree cutting fails and idiots with chainsaws" So I was wondering if your brother could explain a few of the misstakes seen (there are 5 videos of chainsaw fails on the uploaders channel).
Nice to hear. I was really wondering about guys that was using the same (as far as I can tell) system that your brother used to take down that big birtch tree in the "Taking Down Big Tree" videos.
The main mistake is that 99% of those guys shown in the videos should not even be allowed to fill fuel or chipped wood into a miniature steam-machine. Besides somebody gave or sold them a chainsaw. In the end it's not a mistake, that's genetic selection.
Mistakes are easy to make... especially if you get in the habit of using your tools. You get cocky... too confident. One mistake I see in this video is that he never uses his chainsaw brake, especially not when he is moving around (like stepping over a log)
debranching is a waste of time in those situations waste of effort time and money. limbing past 4 inch diameter is also a waste of time. Not bucking directly off the stump is a waste of time. Man I need to make some videos and show everyone what PCT is really all about
Tim is very good at what he does. It's always fascinating watching people do what they do well.
That forest is choking itself out. Good that you guys are going in there and thinning it out a bit. Proper forestry is rare anymore.
AZ Patriot San Carlos az thinning crew works all year doing this in thick patches

He makes it look easy but that is hard work. Just walking around the forest with a chain saw is exhausting.
arlingtonguy54 I wonder if he appreciates being young and in good condition ?
That's nothing. I do this job on steep hills covered in deep gorse and scrub. This guy is in absolute cream!

Oh, this reminds me my work - cleaning undergrowth from harvesting sites before harvesters comes in. Today another 4ha done. ^^

Jag gillar verkligen hur han för svärdet över själva stammen! Ser så smidigt och lätt ut! Imponerande! :-) Du får hälsa honom det!
nice that'll keep ya warm, like to have about 50 of those pine poles.

Stort tack. Thank you
well done!

stumps rot with time, small stumps dont get way of anything, not man or machine
'Rolls eyes'
Could you do a video, please, of running the wood through your splitter to make the actual firewood size? Thanks
That actually is firewood size. Of course you can split the thicker parts so the wood will dry even quicker but thats not neccessary ime.
But the wood in this video is too big to fit in their stoves! I'd really just like to see their hydraulic splitter in action. I like tools!
are you using a camera stabilizer?
Hello Tim. Which model a chain saw you are using in this film?
Is your saw a 346XPG with the Trio-brake?
do you use these trees for fire wood or wood chips?
Both. The tops and larger branches are chipped, the birch becomes firewood and the spruce I believe they sell for pulp wood or chip.
Thank you
If only the trees in our woodland came down so easily! They all get hung up in higher branches (thinning birch, mostly).
if you just quickly limbed 2 flat sides on those tops they'd lay flatter on the ground and more out of the way. I try to minimize brush by maximizing firewood. but then I'm retired with a love for manicuring my forest land .
I wonder which type of chainsaw you use? Husqvarna? Which model?
Anyhow, interesting video. :-)
u931xg orange is husqvarna of course .
clearly, you've done this before.
How can you tell what trees to fell?
What saw it is ?
what do you do with the cut down trees please thankyou
what type of camera are you using?
iphone 6s
wow. no shit. i wouldnt have ever guessed.
Swedish Homestead Do you use that in all of your videos?
straight back cut oi

I have seen one of those before. I think as we keep adding content to the channel we will naturally address some of those mistakes.

plenty revs for that toothpick ahaha make me laugh

too much gear on and clothes
