    A vertical speed line tied to the base of the tree is a good way to keep the logs from rolling down the hill and very low impact/shock load on the tree when it’s in bad shape.

  • @corywadedavis
    @corywadedavis Рік тому +5

    Bro. 2:23 When you're running rope you need to keep the bulk of it in FRONT of you! Not behind you. That way, if a piece is too heavy or gets out of your control, the rope will not trip you up. I like to use a large Brute bucket to flake the rigging line into instead of the rope bag or on the ground. Quick and easy and less likely to pick up sticks that can jam in your hands.

    • @neild7971
      @neild7971 Рік тому +1

      rope behind is key to letting it run. Taking a 180degree bend around the hands adds unwanted friction. Behind and slightly to the side.
      EDIT: this is when referring to using a controlled friction device as in the video.
      If i were holding a pull line or side line holding a lean i would have the rope in front as these situations often result in large amounts of instantaneous pull through at a point i may just let go of the rope.

    Hi, one thing that I didn't understand is why you had to do the "cookies". Wasn't it easier to cut bigger wood pieces and the ground man to make them small? We saw that branches can be moved away from the fence(deck) so I don't think distance matters.

    Im interested in forestry and farming. And I wonder how much money can you make from a single lets say 30m spruce tree?

    bro is that wood that hard or is the saw a bit blunt? I had two such saws, always sharp, they cut acacia very well... until the other day he never cut a dry walnut because it's as hard as concrete :D

    Someone could make a lot of coffee table tops out of those rounds. The parts that aren't completely rotten anyway.

    You use square ground 3/8 picco chain or square ground 3/8 regular chain? Does the regular 3/8 chain fit on the picco sprocket?

      Nope. The drive links on the bottom are different sizes. Picco is small chain.

      I know that Jacob uses full size for his square grind, but I don’t see why (with careful adjustment) that you can’t use square for pico.

      Thanks Todd. I should have addressed the first half too.
      Yup you can square grind anything. You could probably file square too assuming the files fit properly.

      @@mattfleming86 Don’t think you can square grind 1/4 pitch chain. That’s what Jake typ runs on this saw. Panther bar w 1/4 p. Have the same setup and the teeth are way too small for square grind.

    As a new subscriber I have been hoping and waiting to hear the words "If I give you a price, just say yes and agree to it". I am not and would never be in this line of work. But I have read and believe that this is probably one of the most dangerous jobs of all. And then when you throw in the clean up after surviving the cut......whatever the price: it's cheap.
    P.S. It wasn't until the end that I realized he left Eastside and is on his own. And the "no cleanup" is an interesting concept.
