Did this a few weeks back…branch was still living and chain kept getting stuck so I gave up…luckily the wind picked up and the branch eventually broke. I thought the bag was for keeping the chain in, I’ll remember that for next time…
I tried this on a hardwood NZ native tree with two differn't rope saws - both jammed and couldn't be retrieved. You need two people standing well back on either side of the tree so the saw doesn't wrap around the branch and jam itself (or install a distant pully on the other side). In the end I had to screw 20 250mm x 8mm coach bolts into the trunk to form a ladder then climb up the tree with a hand saw to take down the branches and retreive my rope saws. Tree climbing boot spikes would've been nice, but I'd probably have fallen out of the tree if I tried those. Thanks for the clip.
Yep! Just did a couple of trees around my house. I decided to put a pulley on a fence nearby to keep them separate for one of them. the other had no fence so I drove a stake down into the ground. Im not going to lie, the rope burn blisters appear out of nowhere. Grab the nearest stick, loop the rope around it, and its much better of a handle.
@@SnowsLifeThat's good information. I've been cutting in the crevasse and the chain tends to jam. I thought that it was happening because I was pulling to tight and the cutters went too deep. It did operate a lot smoother when I didn't pull too tight on the ropes.
@@FieldtoFarm_UK lol, it cant be much worse than cutting my finger with the small electric hand chain saw, like I did earlier this Summer. Dont do what I do!!!
Great video, many thanks😉

Thanks you for this.

ALSO, NEVER CUT DOWN IN THE CREVASSE OF THE BRANCH. IT WILL GET STUCK. Aim for 6 inches + from the diverging branch.

@@alexvagias5295 I lost one to a crevasse, had to buy another to free it 🤣
Good job 👌
What are you keeping in that area?
It's a dog run 👌👍
How high can you safely cut a branch (so that you're not cutting directly under) do you think?
Oh very good. Maybe you could attatch the rooes to bike pedals, save your arms
Really?
But then what about his legs.
@@cemasti4524 🤣
Nice header mate, I'm phoning Ronaldo now 👍
🤣🤣🤣
you should begin over the top at least an inch deep - then move over and away it will tend to fall down more vertical and not roll toward you
Nice tip 👌 hard to get the blade out tho once u begin a cut
Epic!!! I am going to try it myself!!
Be careful of those branches 🤣
