Id like to thank you for the ten years of education you've given me, Jack. From beginner to running a crew. When others marvel at me spinning trees with an ultra-soft Dutchman or sizwheel, I pass all the praise to you. Watching you make your precise cuts continues to keep me humble and aware of my own limitations. Pr 22:29. Nu 6:24-26
You always get volunteered for these because you’re highly skilled, more importantly you’re cautious and aware which is critical around a roadway. One screwup someone could be killed.
That 064 has somewhere between 1 and 3 million under it's belt. I try to take care of my tools. As, they might just save your life one day. When that saw came out back in '84, it was a much better saw for processing the limbs than the 56. Wasn't better on the stump though. I used the 181s a far amount. Great Saw for processing the trees as well. Best wishes for the New Year. Thanks, and for watching.
@ thats is awesome your saw has that much time on it! I got my 064 around 2006 from my old boss at the stihl dealer i worked at out of high school / small engines tech school. It’s was an old local tree service saw that had 2 top ends on it before he traded it in for a 660. Bought it off my boss and put a new oem cylinder on it. I need to add some old school Husqvarna to my collection, I have 1 old Husqvarna 50 haha. I don’t get to drop a lot of big timber here in pa. Enjoy the new year and safe cutting.
Filmed 2016, SERGEANT INC, 5ft 2in on the stump. The key-back and axe tricks have fascinated me through the years. The falling and power of the 064 are awesome, as well as the skill of the heavy equipment operators...excellent work Mr. Jack...
You cannot fall old growth Redwood timber without a plumb - Bob is on the end, lol. It will save your bacon in tall timber. The axe is tool to be utilized. A much better movement assessor than a wedge. And it's right there if you need it quickly. Personally, I try and not use it often. If your wedging trees over,,, you are not cutting as much scale... On the other side, there are always instances where "beating your brains out" is a necessity. And, we see that here. Thanks for watching & best wishes for the New Year.
Great seeing you back in action....still have a great 066 flat top....love running it. Seemed like it would have be a good day to have a set of Silveies with you working a road corridor...yes the lord is great.Have a blessed 2025...Shoe
Right on! 064 in action. Seems the majority of fallers prefer the shiny new saws. I hardly get to see some old school in action. Let alone an 064. I love to see them still going after all these years. The 044, 046, 064 are by far my favorite saws. This makes me want to get my 460 slant eye operational.
I don't mind shiney. There is something to be said for reliability. That usually comes with newer. There are a number of videos on this channel with the 044 and 064 "kilting" trees. I have a nice 046 & 66 but they are still stock. So, like the old dogs, they stay home.... Thanks for watching
@@hotsaws101 on my channel I have a video of a MS 461 I bought last year. The guy used it for bit of Firewood here and there and said there’s only about two tanks of gas ran through it. That’s how I found your channel is when I was searching up videos of guys talking about it. Please do more bench talks. I’ve seen almost every single one that you have posted the information you bless us with is priceless.
At first you were bending over for the first slice and on the side back you were reaching over your head amazing, i know i would have messed that one up.
On my experience, no. It gives you slippery. So they drive easier. It also gives you non-stick like Teflon so you can get the wedges apart after you've beat your brains out. At least 40 years old of a trick. Thanks for watching.
Why wasn't the back cut lined up to the front on the downhill side? Seems that would be harder to lift that way? Just curious / asking That close to the road, spooky for sure. Was curious to where that butt was going to end up at. Good job, as always.
Because this tree had an overhand (or farmers) face. I put the backcut in higher to compensate. Generally speaking, it's easier to wedge when the backcut is higher than the deck. The dynamic in the hinge is different than when the deck & backcut are the same. It's way worse to be below the deck with the backcut as a point of interest. But I've only had around a foot or 16" of differential also. Not how it works above that. This tree was blown around by wind quite a bit. Add that to the 180' of height and you get wood that is tough on the stump. Then consider the tree wasn't leaning into the lay. Also, I do appreciate that you asked. As opposed to some of the yammering from supposed know-it-alls that really don't. Best wishes for the New Year. Thanks for watching.
After reading the description, I did detect a slight bit of urgency come wedge time. You did avoid a time out and/or a spanking, so all is well. A tree to remember, for sure. Are you still out falling timber these days Jack?
Who makes the ultimate decision as to whether the road needs flagging or not? The falling company or the county? The tree looks pretty big and the terrain definitely more challenging than your video with Gary where the ground was relatively flat and the trees not AS big, but the road still needed temporary closure during the actual felling.
I would guess the feller. And hopefully their experience enough to make the right decision. In this case Jack had no doubt he could get that tree where he wanted it
Keen eye. 4lber. Bought it in '97. Lost it in the fall of '02. Went back in the spring of '03 after they logged & burned the unit. Had it until October of this year. Going to be back in there next spring. There's something about wedging with one of the Stroax heads. Thanks for watching & best wishes for the New Year.
@@robertlent4571 you think??? I got crucified for saying that. Seems my 30 plus years of logging, about 20 of them cutting, I don't know Anything about logging.
@@LindsayBrown-v2p Are you the Michael Jordan of timber falling? Post one 1 video of you being a billy bad ass. Did you or your kin work with buzz Martin?
@@SMJ95 no, not even close to the best cutter. What I said is, I would have been FIRED for cutting like that. So sorry, I have No videos..don't post anything on u tube. Only have a few photos of me cutting. I made my comments and STAND BY WHAT I SAID. There are plenty of Loggers here in Clatsop County, Oregon that know me and can verify what I said. Show some balls and check. I did retire from logging in 2009.I occasionally cut trees but at 70 and disabled, it's definitely not very enjoyable anymore. More and more loggers from the days I worked are dieing or sold out and retired. Still plenty here around Seaside Oregon that know me. Never said I was Great..#1 or even in the top 50.
Pretty bad job of timber falling. He needs a lot more experience before cutting ANY good timber. Any company I ever cut for would fire me taking a even half that long for 1 tree. Should have that one bucked plus at least one or more on the ground. 35 years of logging...this is bad. Good thing Traffic didn't need to wait.

Love the thumbnail for the video! It would be awesome to see some of the photos of over the years of your logging adventures!
What i heard Jack, was you became the go-to guy and the wedging sounded like "I'm getting too old for this crap". Haha!
God Bless and Stay Safe!

This is what having supreme confidence in one's abilities looks like.
The LEGEND is back, with the best saw Stihl ever made!
How have you been mate? I wish you and the family all the best for the 2025.

Now that I think about it, I did post some 660 felling timber quite awhile ago.

I got a super clean very low hours 066 from my dad last year,happy to see you making videos again
So glad to see a new video, please keep posting content
I moved up to N.Cal from San Diego, got a job at a large log saw mill. Pretty interesting to see the side of it, thanks!

Happy New Year! God Bless!
Well that saw sounds lovely
We have missed you sr
Thanks for the post sir!!
Happy New Year !
Good stuff. Can't bet them old saws
Nice shot,that was a stubborn tree
Luv your work brother. God bless ya 🇦🇺✊🏻
Appreciate that. Best wishes for '25.
I know what it's like when the boss tells you..."I got one for you"
That thumbnail is sick!
At first you were bending over for the first slice and on the side back you were reaching over your head amazing, i know i would have messed that one up.
Love the thumbnail pic
The saw dust on the double wedge gives you friction? Never seen that b4
Does it only work with conifer trees?
Yes, I use this all the time on long leaf pines.
On my experience, no.
It gives you slippery. So they drive easier.
It also gives you non-stick like Teflon so you can get the wedges apart after you've beat your brains out.
At least 40 years old of a trick.

Nice to see someone who knows how to use a chainsaw. 😅
Are you taking on saw work ?
Not taking on new clientele right this second.
Thanks for watching.
Not an easy platform from which to pound wedges.
Looks like a stroax axe
Keen eye.
4lber.
Bought it in '97.
Lost it in the fall of '02.
Went back in the spring of '03 after they logged & burned the unit.
Had it until October of this year.
Going to be back in there next spring.
There's something about wedging with one of the Stroax heads.

@ I probably have the nicest stroax axe collection you will probably ever see, if you ever roll through grants pass look me up
I have a brand new OEM Stihl 064 cylinder and piston.

You are right, I thought the same. Way much to long. The Fellcut is on one side way to high.
Your comment tells me you know nothing about the felling or the business in general
