@SOLO I wanted to add that I really appreciate you including scripture in your videos and speaking the Lords truth. You along with a few other brave men on youtube have inspired me to seek out the Lord and the great peace that I once knew. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that similar things have been happening in my life lately all nudging me towards the Lord. With his help I have already made progress towards the right direction. I just wanted to make you aware that your work has had an impact. Thank you and God bless!!

Hey buddy how are you hope everything is well God bless you we had a bad accident this week Sunday was my birthday February 5th so I took off Monday Tuesday Wednesday haven't tooken off and years I get a phone call Monday at 1:30 in the afternoon I always drop the bucket truck always well I wasn't there so some other guy drove it he went over the white line into a ditch flipped the truck over destroyed it absolutely totaled he is okay thank God and nobody else was hurt he got stitches in his head and his knee but other than that nothing bad except for the truck is demolished now we have to get a new bucket truck hope all is well
Not good b r. At least it was just stitches and didn't die. Maybe it was supposed to happen that way and it would have been worse if you were driving and didn't take the day off. You will find another bucket truck. You guys will have to put on those spurs more often now that your truck is gone 💪
@@SOLOTREESERVICE yeah definitely buddy I think about God works in mysterious ways he definitely does sometimes that is the truth we did find a bucket truck it's being delivered next Monday it's a 75 footer elevator lift to 2015 Ford our last bucket was only a 55-foot her so it will be a big help but yeah I'm climbing all week let's go. Hope all is well with you buddy God bless
In this situation you can use either a conventional or humboldt. It is a matter of what you are used to using. If you are a production cutter that is sending trees to the mill, you will be more prone to use a humboldt rather than a conventional because it is muscle memory, not to mention you will have less chance of a tree breaking when it hits the ground with a humboldt since it tends to shoot off the stump and not nose dive. It seems like a lot of tree guys that do not production cut lean towards the conventional method. If you are not concerned about the tree breaking, or the wood is worth nothing to you or the customer, I would say the conventional method is good for the following reason: it allows you to examine and dial in your hinge a lot better because you don't have to lean down to see if your face is cleaned out or if you mistakenly cut too far and made a dutchman. One of the benefits of using the humboldt is, it allows you to spin trees more effectively due to how the face closes up. It is also far better at holding a tree on the stump when using a sizwheel on difficult trees. This is a topic that would make a really good video. I appreciate the question. I will try and come up with something that illustrate it better in upcoming videos.
IMO 2:24 don't do that! Imagine a door with only 2 of its 3 hinges. The one missing being on the bottom. You lose support & the remaining hinges are stressed. Keeping some wood in the compression side helps to keep the hinge from tearing length wise. This is exaggerated in smaller trees where your kerf is larger in relation to diameter. It goes along with the principle of the open pull side. Many would disagree, but I do not consider sizwheel usage to be considered "swinging" timber as swinging involves an arc. The tapered hinge and or opened up pull side ideally sends the tree in a linear path due to the hinge across the stump.
Another great video, bro 👌
Great tip! I'll try it next time i need it..thanks & God bless you buddy!
Great work! Keep on Keeping on!! Mountain Man Tree Works. Kodiak AK
Thanks for sharing. That was really helpful to hear your explanation and see it done.
Thanks for the green highlight showing the taper angle hinge. First time really "saw" the mechanics. 🤝
Excellent Video!🇺🇸🪓🪵🪓🪵🌲🪓
God bless you thank you for your time and knowledge
Excellent explanation. Thanks so much. Stay safe out there friend.
Love the content my friend. Keep er up. :)
Thanks for the knowledge!

Enjoyed the video. Nice explanation of use of hinge to control direction of flop.

@@SOLOTREESERVICE What happened? Hope everyone is well.
Really learned a lot from that quick video thanks.
Great, simple explanation. New subscriber. Thanks brother, grace and peace
Another good one! Any reason why the humboldt when your not concerned about lumber yield?
