@HitachiZaxis450LC he dosen't need an undercut look at the slope of the hill that the tree is on its pretty obvious witch way its going to fall plus look at the angle that the saws going in the wood.
Yes, he put an undercut on the tree. You can see it when the tree falls. Falling a tree without an undercut is dangerous because of a thing called barber chairing. Even if the tree falls in the right direction with no undercut, the barber chairing can kill you. His saw is not cutting well. He needs to sharpen it correctly!
Yeah 1/3 of the daimeter, see " face cut, vintage McCulloch saw" . The drop took about 20 min of video so I spiit it into two clips. I needed to fall it sidehill to ease the yarding out. Short distance but very steep, for my oldish cat. I had to buck it in half to get it up the hill. Broke a couple chokers trying.
Mac 3oo, 87cc of monster torque. gotta keep the chain super sharp or it becomes alot of work. run one of these for a half a day then go pick up a modern saw. huge diff in performance, but you gotta love that old mac bark.
I have a McC 250, and look for excuses to use my beloved 80CC monstrosity. My friends call it a "Moped with a saw chain", my family calls it "The Man Killer"
you got that right,I had a hour or so befor the rains came so i had to just work with the chain i brought. once i started the face cut i didn't want to stop.
How many CCs is it?

hey I'm just asking, its still safer to put a undercut in a tree on a hill.
HitachiZaxis450LC 2 years ago
I agree.....should have done it to be on the safe side..Nothing wrong with the safe side,,,just means you get to play with the saw more..
