[caterpillar941b]

[MotoScootMech]

Jeez why are there so many idiots on YouTube? Give him CONSTRUCTIVE critcism if anything at all. You should be thankful that CHRIS is taking the time to post this stuff on youtube. Give him a break and let him figure it out its simple tree falling and no one wants to see most of the comments on this page made by idiots who dont know how to properly fall a tree anyways...

[andycflbulb]

you need a bigger excavator

[MotoScootMech]

@andycflbulb stupid comment.

[jeremylee99100]

why dont you get your volvo 25 ton ax

[FRUNTCASTER]

Cont. . . Then go back in 1/4 turn. Now you need to put the saw into some wood, but with a nice sharp chain. The saw should "clean up" in the cut, and burble outside of the cut. If the saw still burbles under load (cutting), stop, and turn the needle in 1/8 turn, and cut again. Adjust in this way until the saw cleans up in the cut, but burbles unloaded. If nothing is done, you'll ruin the saw.

[FRUNTCASTER]

Chris, I won't go through all the things that went wrong, or bad technique. . . I will help you with your saw though. Your saw is waaay too lean. Your idle is off too. Lighly seat the L & H needle, then back them both out 1 full turn to start. That gives you a starting point. With the saw idling, slowly back out the L needle until the saw wants to die, and go back in 1/4 turn. On the H needle, rev the saw wide open throttle, and slowly back it out until their is a pronounced "burble".

1st tree huh?

[gangesexcavating]

yeah, some falling skills need working on. Not a knock. But yes the truth.

[letsdig18]

@gangesexcavating dull saw and too many people with oppinions is never a good thing lol. But it all went well in the end. I might try to get a had cam and fall a few big ones the right way if I get a chance

[gangesexcavating]

@letsdig18 I sent you some videos privately today.

[4inches4u]

[sisutrucks]

well it sure as hell is dead now;-)

[easydoz1]

timmmbbbrrr. Fail lol

[triden55]

Put your face cut in 1/3 of the diameter. Use your sights to aim it. Then cut your wedge. Now put in the back cut. If you're using a machine you can do a "snap" cut and have the excavator land the tree.

[triden55]

who taught you to fall a tree son!

[PureN3WZ3ALAND]

your ment to cut a V notch in the front (direction you want it to go) then a downcut in the back

[MrEatenalive]

You didnt kill Rocky did ya? :P

[GDLutz]

we have a little hitachi excavator about that size and it is so useful!

[specialks1953]

It went the direction it was pushed! Imagine that! LOL

[Redbugdave]

You need to hinge cut a tree to be safe. That is, cut out your wedge...about 1/3 of the tree deep and then do your back cut a few inches above the wedge. That creates a hinge and the tree will fall the way the wedge points. 

[MRSketch09]

To many onlookers for my liking.. I'd been like.. I don't want anyone near me when I do this. Back off.

[ms290guy1999]

what model saw was that

[7810ftw]

saw sounded a little sick didnt ?

[ensen89]

You are a very good excavator operator, no questions. But the way you handle the chainsaw scares me. Chain seems to be dull bye the way.

[letsdig18]

@ensen89 what was scary? and yes the chain was a tad dull but I used what I had.

[MegaCat312]

it that the 036

[letsdig18]

@MegaCat312 I think this was the smaller 034

[MegaCat312]

@letsdig18 the 034 is still a good saw

[stretch34318]

now that was dangerous, geez

[SSArt98]

Sure was a big-un!

What kind of tree was it?

[tractortom401]

does the case have thumb control on the joystick?

[letsdig18]

@tractortom401 yes

[tractortom401]

@letsdig18 thanks
