Hey Andy. I' m a qualified lumberjack ( French BPA. ), I have Seen a Great many videos upon the theme of hung up trees, and, for the first time! I see some one doing it right!! Clear and concise explanations. A true pleasure to watch especially as I didn't cringe once. Keep up the good work. Best wishes. Woodworm.
Thanks for yoir comment. It is interesting that you suggest taking down the depth gauges, that's an old softwood cutters method. These are set at 0.65mm and the filing angle is 30 degrees. The undercut on the top plate is set by the filing gauge.
Thank you for the video. Last month a tornado uprooted and partially uprooted most of the big mature trees on our 18 acres. I haven't done this kind of work in a long long time, but I look forward to it, as dangerous as it is.
Hi, take it slowly and have good escape routes. Don't work on your own and have a good winch at hand, preferably tractor mounted but at least 3 ton pull, cheers
Hi Andy, Its will who you were assessing today, thanks for the video is great help and made me understand alot more on where I went wrong thanks for posting the video hopefully will see you again sometime in the near future.
A very useful video Andy as a refresher to new and experienced cutters. Never a bad thing to remind one self of the danger zones and the use of leverage. Thank you. +1 subscriber from me :-)
Thanks for your appreciation. I provided this video so that trainees can get the process in their heads and deal with the problem in an even and controlled way. Cheers, Andy
Thanks for the appreciation. I will give the saw chains video some thought, might turn into a bit of a ramble, but hey ho. My books are available direct from the publisher, here: www.lowimpact.org/books_LILI_publications.htm just scroll down the list, cheers, Andy
Cheers Andy, very clear and concise instructions on dealing with a hung up tree. Nice info on an almost 'anti kick back chain'. What was that noise that interrupted the video a couple of times? I hung up a couple of larch myself yesterday, as usual we had no breaking bar with us. Luckily one of the trees had a stout branch low down on the correct side that was an effective 'breaking bar'. Cheers, John.
John, thanks for the comment. The noise was RAF Conningsby. If you need more leverage then bore a square hole and insert the end of an 8ft pole. Have you subscribed to this non profit channel? Cheers
yeah, you got that right, silly things. i took the time on my knees to remove the body from the bar on my trapped saw knowing it was stupid but for 1500 quid i'm gonna take the chance as if it became dislodged it would have destroyed it. with the body off i used another saw to get the stem off the stump. glad no one was looking
You can't beat doing it right steady and sure, but taking the power unit off a trapped saw is a must, then at least the only thing you bend is the bar, cheers
Yea is goimg good and just need to watch out for bad habits and things not to do and allways watch above you as any limbs come flyimg at your head and not cutting ur hinge things like that
Am doing my cs 32 ticket at college and we do steps 1 rock the tree with the brak bar 2 do a 20/80 percent cut the level of the back cut 3 push the tree see if it will fall 4 remove the 20 percent 5 lift the tree with the brake bar to see if it is off the stump 6 put a strop around thd botto of the tree and put the brake bar in the sling and see if u can lift it off if u cant remove the sling 7 get a live bit of tree bit bigger than u and put a half point on the end and dig it under the tree and push it off 8 put thr strop back on and try to lift it back 9 use the stick and do step 7 if u cant get it doen 10 use a winch to pull it down as spom as it gose move away from the wich. And allways njver turn your back to the tree or work in the middle or under the tree
Hi. Sounds like you are enjoying your training. Turning the tree using a choker strop and a winch is useful, as is learning the six things not to do with a hung-up tree from the NPTC schedule, I hope this video has helped with your revision. Andy
Hi, yes especially when the tree is only 20 to 30 degrees from vertical. Most of the weight is in the bottom third. Sitka spruce is the worst, it's like velcro. Subscribed? Cheers, Andy
Well this may not be the safest but if the tree gets hung up when it isnt fully cut through cut it the rest of the way and stand to the side it will go backward off the stump
Also, if it is safe, just leave it hung up for a few days. I’ve been surprised by how many fall themselves, even ones that were so stuck I would have gladly camped out overnight underneath
David, depth gauges set the depth of cut for each cutter, whereas guard links create a ramp between the cutters and so act as an anti kickback feature, cheers
Steve, right, I have the very tree down in the woods, it's a matter of total hinge removal as shown in part 2 and then winching the butt backwards, might get round to it shortly. watch out for the subscription notification, cheers
Yes I have seen that also, mostly by untrained operators. The problems being there is less control and so more dangerous and it wastes the best part of the tree by loosing length on the sawlog. Cheers
As a 60yr old man new to this industry,I can’t thank you enough for your videos!Just to refresh my training!👍
Thanks, hope you have seen my woodland walks videos and subscribed, cheers

Hi, thanks for your comment and appreciation, hope you have seen my woodland walk series about woodland and forestry issues, and subscribed, cheers
Nicely explained. Those big guard links are great for boring though, really make it easy to control the start of the bore without it kicking out.
Hi, old video, guard links can in some cases stop boring cuts altogether, cheers
Easy as pie when you’re skilled. Tricky when you’re just having a go. Good demo.
Tony, a good sharp saw and a clear idea of what is to be achieved, it's a refresher for candidates, cheers

Thanks for the interest.
I know nothing about cutting trees down..we grow a few japanese maples though....interesting stuff andy
Very usefull advice, thank you. This will come in handy.
Thanks for your appreciation, subscribed? Andy
Your channel looks exciting, i have just subscribed.
I had that happen to me, but luckily it was a smaller tree, so it wasn't so bad.
Great little film Andy. Nice to see you in your natural environment!!!
I have a tree leaning on a bigger tree.. and some big one's also, 1 foot or more.. You are an educated tree man! (Arbourist)? Aloha
Thank you for your help!
Cheers, subscribed? Andy
Nice video, very good information.
Simon, good to hear from you, first to comment, Andy
Another great video! Could you do one on the different types of chainsaw chains?
Thanks for the appreciation. I will give the saw chains video some thought, might turn into a bit of a ramble, but hey ho.

Thanks for yoiur appreciation, Andy
i am continually surprised by just how such small branches can hang up a big tree
Hi, yes especially when the tree is only 20 to 30 degrees from vertical. Most of the weight is in the bottom third. Sitka spruce is the worst, it's like velcro. Subscribed? Cheers, Andy

Difficult with the blame culture of modern times, cheers
Great Video Sir.
Thanks for the comment, subscribed? cheers
@@TheInfoworks You're welcome, and Subscribed. Cheers my friend
Was definitely not expect that voice! Sorry...thanks for the helpful video, mate.
Intriguing comment, thanks for the appreciation. Subscribed? Cheers, Andy
I'll admit my first reaction was "They have lumberjacks in England?" But the info was great so now I think of him as the professor of felling.
My
Brilliant!
Cheers
I like this tool. I think I find one
In the UK we call it a felling lever, cheers
Very skilled with a chainsaw. He could use his saw as a tooth pick!😲
Cheers
This is brill :)
your rakers needs filed also your felling cut eg angled to shallow
Guard link? Or depth gauge?
David, depth gauges set the depth of cut for each cutter, whereas guard links create a ramp between the cutters and so act as an anti kickback feature, cheers
It's easy to take down soft wood hung ups...but what about those hard wood forked crowned buggers who are properly hung up ?
Nothing on UA-cam
Steve, right, I have the very tree down in the woods, it's a matter of total hinge removal as shown in part 2 and then winching the butt backwards, might get round to it shortly. watch out for the subscription notification, cheers
@@TheInfoworks Look forward to it..I do this regularly as a woodland manager, but just want to see it up there.
Great channel, thank you Andy .
The others I've seen they cut at waist level.
Yes I have seen that also, mostly by untrained operators. The problems being there is less control and so more dangerous and it wastes the best part of the tree by loosing length on the sawlog. Cheers
or you can just use a wedge
