This was fantastic. I have a literally ton of trees like this on my property. This is a big help. Thank you.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
I have this problem sometimes too! Good on ya mate.
Good to see more uploads😃 Hollow trees is something we have quiet a bit of here in Australia, great content.
Hollow trees can be dangerous for a variety of reasons and sometimes not obvious that they are hollow.
I was girdling a 70' black cherry so it would be habitat, had green leaves etc, bark intact. Was most of the way around it maybe an inch deep , and the entire stem telescoped into the stump...I had cut the only thing holding the tree up.
NOW IF I HAVE ANY DOUBTS I do a vertical plunge cut into the stem before I do anything else and see if I hit air or punky wood
Always helpful videos, I dropped a tree that was rotten inside and had partially fallen (about 80 degrees) after Cyclone Gabrielle in New Zealand. Like with any tree, it is wise to go slowly and methodically for the safest and desired result.
Just got done cutting a hollow tree last week. I didn't know it was Halo but it looks solid from the outside. Tree job but fine. Unfortunately the tenants did not take kindly to me chainsawing down there home. So they sent out three Japanese hornet Stormtroopers to light my ass up. Pretty sure I broke the sound barrier when I was running. Unfortunately I got hit three times and one of the stings left a nasty nasty rash. I've never had such a reaction to a bee sting.
I’m learning a lot from you keep up with great videos
Great content. Appreciate you being a good example by wearing your safety gear.
Nice job Casey. Great information.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! As a wood lot owner I appreciate !🇨🇦
Thanks for explaining! These have been a pain in my butt! Hollow trees don’t cut like a solid tree. Thanks again!
Can you do a video on how you do your backcuts. I notice you start on one side and rotate around. Seems great for a tree thats bigger than the bar, but also because its for big trees maybe something to be informed about before trying.
Thanks Top Branch for such a helpful, informative video. Very well explained.
I massively appreciate your sharing knowledge and skill. Thank you. Cheers Kiwi down under 😊
So impressive!
Very good info. Thanks !
Your freaking AWESOME!!
Great content 👊🏻
Killer! I just cut down two big dead trees and they definitely were rotted. I cut them down in pieces cause I didn’t have enough area to fell them! Killer video man!
Nice work
That ending comment was so wholesome. I know you can do it :)
Casey is Absolutely Amazing!! As we watch, the lesson here is: Don't not to overstep your abilities... some of us wouldn't be quite as patient. Casey smartley rests his chainsaw, then uses the wedges to finish the task... If my chainsaw was still running.... I wonder if would have enough patience. / I'm really sorry Ottawa Ontario is too far way to hire Casey.
How far apart do you recommend placing the wedges before the final cut??
Was the second tree a shagbark hickory?
Wow you do a great job you know your s*** I have to watch every one of your videos thanks
You cut deeper into the face than I would have thought a tree that hollow😬, how do you figure on how deep to cut the face cut? I do know that once you start that back cut, it can be tricky to try to cut the face deeper on a lot of trees.
Like you said, you can always come back and thin the hinges if necessary. Thanks for taking the time to upload this.
Brittle branch litter in heavy snow is so much fun to clean up. 😂
just dropped a cigar tree and an elm that were both hollowed out by black ants.
Curious why the back cuts aren’t an inch or two above the face cut like I see most other guides. Is that a hollow tree technique?
Back cut higher than face notch is a false idea of keeping the tree on the stump as it starts to fall, sort of the same idea as a sloped back cut.
@@shermanhofacker4428 you mean it’s a false idea for hollow trees or all trees?
I think you mean 80% of the radius. The radius is halfway and the diameter is across the whole tree.
No, you generally want the width of the hinge to be roughly 80% of the diameter of the tree, which usually means going about a third of the way across. In this case the inside of the tree is rotten, so the face cut shouldn't be as deep and the hinge must be thicker to compensate for the missing wood.
LMFAO 🤣
Not evident to cut a hollow tree when the good side is oriented to the clearance area...😮
It's hard to hear what you're saying for a lot of the video, it's okay when the person filming gets closer to you.
If you use audacity to equalize your audio we would be able to hear you. The chainsaw is loud but your voice is not. With hearing aids I just cant hear you.
Unnecessary....I could have that tree down in 30 ...Strap the tree...cut a notch.....make a back cut...pull the tree down....Done!
Pulling the tree is not always an option, so that's where the skill comes to play....I'm not a pro, so I'll stand back a few feet and let them tell you what's what....
Talks to much
