  • anyone tried this on medium sized (16''dbh) northern hardwoods or conifer (norway spruce/scotch pine)? it's interesting, but palm and hardwoods are not the same animals.

  • @ShawnDRichman

    Really, so are you suggesting that the techniques for felling palms are different to felling trees? Because if that is the case then all books and instructions need to be dealt with as I have not ever seen any difference. The principals remain the same and many people have felled trees using this method (read comments here even). The only real issue with this demonstration is the back cut should have been a little lower, that's all.

  • Good stuff. What's the song btw?

    Jackyl, I stand alone

  • I am impressed! Pardon the question, but what is DBH?

  • smart

    

  • i was going to say this was stupid until i saw it fall and realized its actually pretty fucking nifty lol.

  • but but but why ??

  • very interesting. I've never seen it before.I am curious about how it would work on a hardwood here in the Northwest as opposed to a more stringy wood like palm or even the cottonwood and poplar . But I think I can see it working well. Good vid and thanks for the info. I learned something new today.

  • nice idea good for small trees

  • TIMBERRRRRR  !!!

  • 5 stars for the tip 0 stars for the obnoxious music.

    

  • Nice perfect for custom tree work but nothing beats the ole hinge cut when it comes to logging 28+ DBH trees, gonna try it on one of them though.

  • ive used tihs technique on black wattles and gum trees works good

  • Nice vid, and what a great idea, will keep that one in the back pocket for when i get to NZ.
