Nice job felling, it's nice to see big timber properly felled in the intended spot,wind in your favor, a sharp chain, a couple of wedges a good maul and most important smarts and common sense. I chuckle at the negitive a person gets from doing something right, Not just everyone will tackle big timber such as the one in this video. In my younger day I felled hundreds of big timber, I have one left to do. Mr. Cottonwood,90' tall 64" diameter. I will retire after this one. Thank you for the video.
I have got quite a few responses on my comment that i wrote a while ago. i meant it as a joke and i am aware of the risks you take if not wearing a helmet. so please stop being so god damn serious. and also if anyone for some reason felt offended please accept my applogy.
I don't think the helmet is ment to save you if the tree falls on you! It does help if a dead branch hung up in the tree hits you! Also people tren to use wedges for trees... they kinda help
jthats crap - seen videos where u really can see the tree and not only the treebasis with a guy cutting even when its already fallin - ive seen guys that got smacked badly by the tree cuz they wanted to cut it when it was already fallin
Well done mate!Ignore the criticisms,there's always assholes spewing garbage!I care for the enviroment,and I hate clear cutting...there's nothing here to indicate that your clear cutting
I reckon ole o56kid starts crap with everyone. For folks who cut timber every day we don't get caught up in too many details about how exactly every tree gets cut a certain way and spend our days critiquing everyone else. We just get the job done and then do it again. I guess o56 can sit back and watch while the real men do what has to be done. Good Job Terry Lamers.
Thank you, tree! Thanks for your many years of emitting oxygen for us... you're welcome for the carbon dioxide in return. We know you needed it to grow so big.
Thank you for the wood. We'll use it to create more carbon dioxide for your offspring, so they may grow big too. And one day, old age will cut us down as well.
That one tree would last me 5 months of 30 degree weather! Dont't care about the cut, Its the roundness of the tree that I'm more into, imagine this tree bucked and cut and 16 inch sections, and then each section split right, this one tree would make one hell of a load, compared to Me having to have about 10 trees to equal to this one!
@o56kid look at 1:54, he cut through his hinge. You don't have to cut through too many mbf to know the importance of letting the wedge do the work, and not cutting through your hinge. Especially on larger trees.
@iont3 not a damned bit but would help for falling branches. It's not the trees themselves that kill lumberjacks , it's branches falling. That's why they call them "Widowmakers".
@redneckpowertruck you did that to annoy me right? anyway, here is what I wrote 2 months ago...

@elibunyan1 it was nice enough to put the tree exactly where he wanted it, id say it had some back lean too eh, so maybe you aught to shut your ignorant mouth till you learn some about falling timber, i have. . .
i wouldent call it perfect, or a "big tree". that guy spent way too much time pounding wedges. the undercut was way too small. it should have been 1/3 of the tree trunk. on ground like that he should have been able to fall it without even needing to pound a wedge.
@MegaJagveer Bithches??? WTF? Next time you write a comment, perhaps you shouldn't be so stoned. Tell me something.. I bet you don't hack down all your small pot plants and use them, do you?

dude thats a huge tree its so old almost like its a waste or somethin...whatcha gunna use it for i hope its for something awesome for a tree that awesome.
My question is, if Terry were to have made that back cut just a little higher instead of down so low to his face cut would it have been easier to wedge? I understand that it was a matter of $3 per in. but I am still in the learning stages so. I think it was a job well done!
Hahahaha, this tre did NOT fall exactly where he wanted it! The notch is the way it should fall, but it falls to the side. Not like in the description.
@arboristcare erm its did go where he wanted it that was not a notch on the side he was taking some of the bark or majority of the time is removing butresses/roots so a tree can be felled with a smaller chainsaw
wheres the big trees at you made a good job but slow kids stuff when your hitting the iron in get on with it when the tree starts moveing you stop why
Terry you make it harder than it needs to be. Sorry last time i worked with you it was not very impressive any of my green horns could have done what you did!!!!!!!!!!
Don't try to rewrite history Tim. Your own employee said that none of your guys could fall the big doug firs I fell on that job next to I-5 and those $500,000 wells. He also said that my saw cut twice as fast as his. You guys don't know how to sharpen. On this job we took out 17 log truck loads around the $750,000 house. I didn't post this video, and didn't even know about it for months. I make it harder than it needs to be? The tree was leaning strong toward the house.
Terry you make it harder than it needs to be. Sorry last time i worked with you it was not very impressive any of my green horns could have done what you did!!!!!!!!!!
Wow - I think I did not correctly say what I wanted to say. I NEVER stand right beside a tree when its falling! What I wanted to state is "watch where the tree is going to fall, then move away, not backwards as tree do slide if caught up in another tree, or cutting during winter".
Beauiful! I haul these logs everyday like this. Thank God for letting them grow and grow and grow! We will never run out because wood is always renewable.
I'm an amteur logger and cut down white pine as big as this. This dude DEFINITIVELY knows what he's doing. I would hire him tomorrow.
As for the stupid safety issues, being beside a tree, watching it fall, knowing where it will fall is the best safety recommendation. Stay close, don't just run around like a chicken with no head. Not many people get hurt staying close - the ones that get hurt are the idoits who have no idea how trees fall.
@miclabelle are you kidding me ? what if the log bounces off something? what if you're cutting on a hill ? im guessing with this type of attitude, and if you were still felling after you made this comment, you're probably dead by now from a "standing too close to the butt of a tree while watching it fall really closely" accident.
@miclabelle your forgetting about tension the tree could have split into a butchers chain and knocked him in half its safer to pick up your saw and take ten steps back
Thanks to everyone who did catch my error and I apologize. As I said I caught trees every weekend, building road for cottage, and this place has never been logged so the trees are very big. Most white pines measured up-to 100 feet after cutting the top off. Its a real thrill seeing them go down. And no, I do not waste. I cut them up into boards and give away to friends, sell to strangers for very low price.
they may know what they are doing howver the people who have been shot by guns that they knew were unloaded are still dead!! just cause you know what you are doing doesnt mean you should be complacent or think you have nothing to learn
@stolstraf I wasn't complacent. This tree was one of many, as 17 log truck loads were removed around this $750,000 house. The best safety trait is knowing exactly where the tree is going. Yes, I also had two escape routes, like always. Every tree on this job went within 1degree of the target, except one rotten western red cedar that had virtually no holding wood, was assisted with a pull from a skidder, and was off by about 3 degrees. I've cut tens of thousands of trees, never been injured.
mate it isnt about looks it is all about safety! what good is a nice piece of timber with some poor person is smeared under it because someone has lost control of it???if you are so good you would see what i mentioned was true! when it starts go you leave at 45 degrees in case it jumps back over the stump. you dont stand there saw screaming cutting through the hinge like on the video! you would also have noticed the trunk twist as it fell cause not enough hinge left still a video of not2do
@o56kid internet tree feller hey??? what are you then hahaha I love it when someone is captured by their own statement hahaha( dont worry about replying cause there is no second prize hahaha)
@stolstraf Yeah, No hinge. That was Busch League. You don't pound on wedges like that. You strike, look up, wait for the ripple to come back, then repeat. He's lucky it only twisted as little as it did with no hinge left on the right.
@trevync Oh Shut up internet logger, the tree rolled off another tree in the fore ground, had nothing to do with the hinge. You inept smart asses are so annoying."Oh I have watched all the youtube videos and i even own a stihl, I know everything about falling timber"
@o56kid The hinge has a lot to do with it, now i have no idea what happened in the crown as it fell but the face cut was way too short which is y he had to beat the shit out of it!! the hinge tho def had a lot to do with the roll off the stump. he also had a dutchman on the side he cut the hinge wood on both of these led to the roll which for all we know could have been intentional!! see as the tree falls it has to break the hinge when there is no hinge it rolls to the other side its physics
@brandro87 Cmon bud, I have put hundreds and hundreds of swing dutchmans in trees, and I have NO idea as to weather he did or not, BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE. YOU CANNOT EITHER, there is no way to tell from the low picture quality and camera position. More, how wide the hinge is has nothing to do with how much wedging the tree needed, if it had 5 degrees of back lean, techniclly a 10 degree face would be more than enough to get the tree to commit in the desired direction.
@o56kid as the tree falls you can see it close and push look carefully its there i didn't mention the hinge width i mentioned the face cut depth which is a direct correlation to how much weight of the tree is unsupported and the torque produced by that. if the tree was leaning the opposite way then the fall then he shouldn't have been trying to fall it with wedges alone yeah debris did fall you could be right there yeah and I'm a "C" faller for the USFS I think I know shit too!!
@brandro87 C faller eh? What does that have to do with in the woods experience? I did not say anything about hinge width either. you said the face cut was too short, that could mean not deep enough or not open enough. Too short gives more leverage where the wedge is, so you just ruined your whole story, oops!
Whats wrong with only using wedges? the work that that man put into that tree that we saw on camera can be done all day ie falling timber. A, B, C, I dont care, its sweating it out.
@o56kid C faller means i was trained and passed the test to fall a 30"+ dbh tree safely and effectively, now logging techniques I have no knowledge of your comment says "More how wide the hinge is has..." and I digress. my bad i said short instead of deep my apologies you know what i meant i hope more leverage where the wedge is huh... let the weight of the tree do the work work smarter not harder, you'd have more trees on the ground faster. 45 degrees off the lean anymore unsafe
@o56kid so were you there? you sure are fighting pretty hard with EVERYBODY about this.... I'm only arguing with you because of your attitude, it sucks, you need to learn how to talk to people and have intelligent conversations instead of reverting to foul language and arrogance. i hope you were there and saw this fall because if you weren't your an idiot cause you know no more than any other Joe who watches this video about what really happened
@brandro87 all week long. That will MAKE you work smart. A class C fallers card will get you a job fighting fires, but it won't make you a good timber faller... I can't see where there was a kirf in the face, it looked like everything went as planned. That's interesting, nothing went wrong in the vid, that may be a big hint right there hahaha.
@o56kid needing a jack and not jeopardizing at 3/4 mill home are 2 diff stories everything went as planned I think your right idk I wasnt there piece of paper huh I wonder if my degree when I earn it for mechanical engineering will mean much... might signify how much work i put into it the last four years, it might also signify that I took the test and passed meaning im qualified to do the job!! same applies with a C falling permit.
@o56kid EXCUSE ME? you arrogant fucking pile of shit how fucking dare you say that to me!! your lucky you don't live in my town or you'd be in the hospital tonight with a hole in your head!! I'm sorry I'm not one for using that language on here I'm better than that but who the fuck do you think you are? you need to learn some manners and respect FAST!! your never gonna get anywhere in life treating people like that!! get off the internet and find a whole to hide in we don't need people like you
@brandro87 Whats your problem all of the sudden? What did I say LOL? I was not calling you a dummy, its just an observation of mine.
I hope you can get rid of that anger, its just the internet dude. No threats either, they are moot on the web. I can take my lickings anyways, so don't be so sure about putting that hole in my head. Fighting is alot easier than manipulating tens of thousands of lbs of wood all day.
@o56kid if your gonna put your opinion out there when your having a conversation with someone make sure you don't make it sound like your calling them stupid!! 'm done with you, I have better things to do with my time... I wont be stuck in the lab anymore after tonight!! have fun
@o56kid dude do you ever stop? ever heard fo finite element analysis? i bet you havn't, well my assignment takes 45 min to run then you make changes then you do it again till you get it right takes a long time with and its all dead time!!
@o56kid you really are an arogant asshole, you hear lab and think you know everything!! im sincerely convinced now that your ignorance and arogance ranks far above your reasoning skills. This is a perfect example of an illusion in your mind that is caused by the limits of your comprehension.
@brandro87 No, I think it is a better example of you flying off the handle in response to simple and forthright dialogue. Convince yourself whatever you please, I could not care less really.
Out of curiosity, how would one comprehend the word "lab" where you stuck up a dog's butt?
@brandro87 The tree did not roll because of the hinge, the tree rolled because it hit another tree, look at all the chit that it knocked down. . I'm not trying to be an ass, but you are all wrong bu,, and your better off educated than wrong. Take it from a guy who knows, I am a professional timber faller, with a box full of pay check stubs to back it up ;)
@stolstraf there was nothing fucking wrong with that video besides he kinda swings like a bitch. you don't need to leave 4 inches of fucking hinge wood. the tree is going to go where it's faced and not go off path enough to be critical
wow this man is a logger, hed better have a good life insurance! very dangerous the way he stayed there too close to the tree when it started falling.
hes preventing wood pull. Trees just dont jettison themselves off of stumps for no reasons. People who cut big timber like the guy in the vid have a tenancy to know exactly what they are doing, so save your safety talk. .
perfect tree felling????? bullshit hardly any hinge left and once it starts to go he keeps cutting andd then it twists on the way down. more like what not to do!!!!
@stolstraf You're absolutely correct, there is virtually no vertical stump-shot and almost zero hinge wood-potentially lethal combination. And...the arrogance of diddlin' around at the base like as the tree is goin' over. Crazy shit.
Of course you can still do a bit more cutting after you've stuck a wedge in!! If not your saw cut can close and you'll never get a wedge in after that?! Cut until you feel any pinching on the saw, whack a wedge in to keep the cut open, then finish your cut and then beat the wedge in more if needed to complete the fell. Been doing it 25yrs, never caused me a problem! Good fell, by the way!
keep cutting them trees for them cry baby tree huggers honestly houses are made of wood hmm toilet paper and paper are hmm what else fire wood is from well trees hmm whats else o well who really cares because loggers arent cutting 20 year old trees down there cutting old rotten old old old fucking trees dumbasses they will regrow hello like human plants and animals they reproduce old one dies young one reproduce then it keeps going and going construction workers use wood too :P so suck it!!!!
This video makes me want to move to Oregon. There aren't many trees that size in PA. The biggest one I've ever cut was only 3 feet on the stump. If I could cut ones that size all day, I'd be the happiest bastard on the planet!
sure in your country perhaps but not in germany we need to pay attention to our uvv and asking this you are not allowed to cut after setting the wedge and cutting while the tree is falling is absolutly a nogo belive me its my job ;) but ok we dont have so big thress perhaps max. 2 metre size
Jesus n00b (holzr2010)....you start your first wedge in 'decent timer' just as soon as you can't cut it with your saw on the back cut. Then you stack etc....he did a fine job from what I can see. After going through about 30 vids on 'falling' this is the real deal.
@holzr2010 What if the tree's sitting back a little, you have to cut after driving a wedge. or what if you quarter cutting? there are lots of times that call for a wedge before you're finished your back cut.
Good aim, boy! Come down here in Brazil and try to do that in the Amazon, with fu**** bees and wasps and other god damn things freaking ya out, man!!! Anyway, I miss the states too
thats so cool makes me want to get off my harvester and cut trees with a chainsaw,i miss manual logging this mechanised logging makes you fat and lazy, good job, a good faller will always plan an escape route before he starts cutting and watches the head of the tree as it starts to move
Fascinating footage! Thanks for sharing! I knew a tree surgeon once who opened a BRANCH office. He would go out on a LIMB for all his patients. Sadly, he eventually had to give up his practice....turns out he couldn't stand the sight of SAP !!!
to lava lizard,you may think that tree has provided a lot more than you,it probably has,but then who gives you the right to tell us that we should just take the risk of living under dangerous trees as they have been there a long time,i hope you're not around to have one come through your teepee and kill your family,but then again the odds of it happening are tiny..........twat
Watched it. Read the comments. Watched it again. Amazing how many armchair arborists there are in youtube land. Any real Arborist can see that this is control and precision work.
Oh and you treehuggers. Easy to say a tree is more worth than a human. What if it was one of your kids that was killed by a tree. Then you would want them all cut down. In the long run it is better for the trees if we prune or remove the hazardous ones.
Great job treemaninOregon. I give you 5 stars sir!
Nice work ! There is more to just taking a saw and making notches and thinking a tree will fall where you " think " it will ... What saw are ya using ? Looks like a Stihl ?
I used a Stihl 066, with a 36" General bar, and Stihl full skip .063 gauge, 3/8 chisel chain. I am certain that most of the people that comment on this video have never cut down a tree this tall. (About 170' tall) They don't realize how much time the cutter has to safely exit the area after the tree is committed to its fall.
perfect you recken hardly look at your cuts all up the fuck and your hinge wood aint even any clown could cut that down your far frm perfect wat a joke

He also said that my saw cut twice as fast as his. You guys don't know how to sharpen. On this job we took out 17 log truck loads around the $750,000 house. I didn't post this video, and didn't even know about it for months. I make it harder than it needs to be? The tree was leaning strong toward the house.

what name this Tree ?
xactiMASTER 1 year ago
Wow - I think I did not correctly say what I wanted to say. I NEVER stand right beside a tree when its falling! What I wanted to state is "watch where the tree is going to fall, then move away, not backwards as tree do slide if caught up in another tree, or cutting during winter".

ehhh. It fell the wrong direction from the projected face cut thus being imperfect.

@dsmith377 your wrong, that is not a face cut, thats where the bark was cut. . .

I'm an amteur logger and cut down white pine as big as this. This dude DEFINITIVELY knows what he's doing. I would hire him tomorrow.
As for the stupid safety issues, being beside a tree, watching it fall, knowing where it will fall is the best safety recommendation. Stay close, don't just run around like a chicken with no head. Not many people get hurt staying close - the ones that get hurt are the idoits who have no idea how trees fall.

@miclabelle are you kidding me ? what if the log bounces off something? what if you're cutting on a hill ? im guessing with this type of attitude, and if you were still felling after you made this comment, you're probably dead by now from a "standing too close to the butt of a tree while watching it fall really closely" accident.

@miclabelle your forgetting about tension the tree could have split into a butchers chain and knocked him in half its safer to pick up your saw and take ten steps back
punk531 1 year ago
Thanks to everyone who did catch my error and I apologize. As I said I caught trees every weekend, building road for cottage, and this place has never been logged so the trees are very big. Most white pines measured up-to 100 feet after cutting the top off. Its a real thrill seeing them go down. And no, I do not waste. I cut them up into boards and give away to friends, sell to strangers for very low price.

stolstraf 1 year ago
@stolstraf I wasn't complacent. This tree was one of many, as 17 log truck loads were removed around this $750,000 house. The best safety trait is knowing exactly where the tree is going. Yes, I also had two escape routes, like always. Every tree on this job went within 1degree of the target, except one rotten western red cedar that had virtually no holding wood, was assisted with a pull from a skidder, and was off by about 3 degrees. I've cut tens of thousands of trees, never been injured.

mate it isnt about looks it is all about safety! what good is a nice piece of timber with some poor person is smeared under it because someone has lost control of it???if you are so good you would see what i mentioned was true! when it starts go you leave at 45 degrees in case it jumps back over the stump. you dont stand there saw screaming cutting through the hinge like on the video! you would also have noticed the trunk twist as it fell cause not enough hinge left still a video of not2do

@stolstraf Yeah, No hinge. That was Busch League. You don't pound on wedges like that. You strike, look up, wait for the ripple to come back, then repeat. He's lucky it only twisted as little as it did with no hinge left on the right.
trevync 9 months ago
@trevync Oh Shut up internet logger, the tree rolled off another tree in the fore ground, had nothing to do with the hinge. You inept smart asses are so annoying."Oh I have watched all the youtube videos and i even own a stihl, I know everything about falling timber"
PLEASE . . .
o56kid 9 months ago
@o56kid The hinge has a lot to do with it, now i have no idea what happened in the crown as it fell but the face cut was way too short which is y he had to beat the shit out of it!! the hinge tho def had a lot to do with the roll off the stump. he also had a dutchman on the side he cut the hinge wood on both of these led to the roll which for all we know could have been intentional!! see as the tree falls it has to break the hinge when there is no hinge it rolls to the other side its physics
brandro87 9 months ago
@brandro87 Cmon bud, I have put hundreds and hundreds of swing dutchmans in trees, and I have NO idea as to weather he did or not, BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE. YOU CANNOT EITHER, there is no way to tell from the low picture quality and camera position. More, how wide the hinge is has nothing to do with how much wedging the tree needed, if it had 5 degrees of back lean, techniclly a 10 degree face would be more than enough to get the tree to commit in the desired direction.
o56kid 9 months ago
@o56kid as the tree falls you can see it close and push look carefully its there i didn't mention the hinge width i mentioned the face cut depth which is a direct correlation to how much weight of the tree is unsupported and the torque produced by that. if the tree was leaning the opposite way then the fall then he shouldn't have been trying to fall it with wedges alone yeah debris did fall you could be right there yeah and I'm a "C" faller for the USFS I think I know shit too!!
brandro87 9 months ago
@brandro87 C faller eh? What does that have to do with in the woods experience? I did not say anything about hinge width either. you said the face cut was too short, that could mean not deep enough or not open enough. Too short gives more leverage where the wedge is, so you just ruined your whole story, oops!
Whats wrong with only using wedges? the work that that man put into that tree that we saw on camera can be done all day ie falling timber. A, B, C, I dont care, its sweating it out.
o56kid 9 months ago
@o56kid C faller means i was trained and passed the test to fall a 30"+ dbh tree safely and effectively, now logging techniques I have no knowledge of your comment says "More how wide the hinge is has..." and I digress. my bad i said short instead of deep my apologies you know what i meant i hope more leverage where the wedge is huh... let the weight of the tree do the work work smarter not harder, you'd have more trees on the ground faster. 45 degrees off the lean anymore unsafe

@o56kid so were you there? you sure are fighting pretty hard with EVERYBODY about this....

XcuZ2win 1 year ago
Of course you can still do a bit more cutting after you've stuck a wedge in!! If not your saw cut can close and you'll never get a wedge in after that?! Cut until you feel any pinching on the saw, whack a wedge in to keep the cut open, then finish your cut and then beat the wedge in more if needed to complete the fell. Been doing it 25yrs, never caused me a problem! Good fell, by the way!

Oh and you treehuggers. Easy to say a tree is more worth than a human. What if it was one of your kids that was killed by a tree. Then you would want them all cut down. In the long run it is better for the trees if we prune or remove the hazardous ones.

(About 170' tall) They don't realize how much time the cutter has to safely exit the area after the tree is committed to its fall.
