- Logger used husqvarna 592xp to “jump cut” white oak trees. This method is fast, efficient, and not recommended to the public.
Also a update on how the 592xp is operating after a month of work in the woods.

Never knew the term "jump cut" but yeah, and I personally know why. LOL That being said it's a great way to get as much log for your effort as possible. I'm 62 and thought I was a decent weekend logger until I actually went to work for a logger in my mid-fifties. The guy I work for showed me the "safer" way and once I was consistent with dropping them where I wanted them he showed me the "jump cut". We mainly used it on high-end logs which in that area were red oak, maple, and black walnut. Six months in I was getting pretty good at it and I came up against a red oak that was 4 feet at chest height. I was using a Stihl 661 with a 30"ultralight bar and things got a bit tricky. In the end, it went right where I wanted it and I was feeling pretty proud. We were working what we call a "Wet Woods" and we had about 2-3 feet of snow on the ground to add to the fun. It was the biggest tree I had ever dropped and I was feeling a bit giddy about my accomplishment. After admiring my level of skill I grabbed my saw and backpack with my wedges and fuel and such and climbed up on the trunk with the intention of topping it. Being a "professional" logger on my way up the tree trunk, I loped off a couple 6-inch branches from the top side of the side the trunk so I could walk up to the main yoke. When I reached it I then jumped down in the snow with my saw and pack, forgetting how deep the snow was. As I started sinking deeper in the snow than I had expected, I felt my feet getting cold and realized, not only was I in two to three feet of snow, I was also in about 18 inches of mud and water... which was now running into my 12" high boots. Needless to say, I was stuck. I reached around and took my pack off and at that point, I had to fire up the saw and cut a branch off the tree to pry myself out. After about 10 minutes of struggle, I finally made it out, a little less giddy and a lot more humble. Although I do help people with dropping difficult trees from time to time my daily logging days are pretty much over. I did it for a short time to make ends meet while pastoring a small rural church but one thing is for sure, although it was probably one the most physical jobs I have had, as well as one of the most dangerous, it will go down in the books as also being one of my favorite.
Great to read your comment!
Hope you enjoy the channel!
Be safe and God bless!
Great story, my old dad pastored a couple rural churches back in the late 40s when I was a seed and sprout...
Enjoyed your video, not a logger, just an old gear head who enjoys understanding the mechanics (and/or reasoning) behind all things possible from basic orbital mechanics, to engine design, the golf swing, to felling trees... The more one understands, the more interesting everything is.
I agree.
I've never seen that technique before! I'm too much of an amateur to try it, but boy oh boy do I appreciate all the talent you showed.
Thank for the compliment.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Hey thank you Jon!
"the Prius of chainsaws" 🤣🤣🤣 great video very entertaining
Lol
I like this style…..but you for sure, not only need to know how to read the tree and the weather effects, you must have the right saw and bar with a very sharp chain. Beautiful work 🪵⛓🪚👍👏🇺🇸Rick
All true statements
haha i thought the exact same thing on the new saws, the added grey looks so bad, thats why i diddnt but a new saw and got a previous generation because the older ones look so good and awesome
Right on!
Nothing slicker than a table top stump done the rite way. Nice logs for sure fella.
Thank you rugerfarming5387!
I’m not a pro, just a novice firewood guy, but I really didn’t know it was possible to drop a tree with that cut. Amazing.
There’s a ton of different ways to cut a tree. I would never recommend someone fells every tree the same way. There so many variables that need to be considered.
@@Good.Fellers absolutely. When I do need to drop one it will always be what’s the best cut at the time. Usually the basic notch and back cut is all that’s needed. Thanks.
คุณต้องดูการตัดไม้ในอินโดนีเซียหรือทางๆแถบนั้น ต้นไม้มีรากกวว้างสามารถตัดได้ด้วยวิธีนี้ และในไทยพบการตัดดแบบนี้มากทางภาคใต้ จริงอยู่ในการบากหน้า แต่นั้นไม่เสมอไปในการล่มไม้ ฉันก็เพียงคนตัดไม้ฝืน
@@M24nopparatright on! Thanks for the comment!!!
Great video, really entertaining and informative.
Love my 592
Oh yeah!
Nice looking stumps feller!
Thanks stacker!
Ur doin good sir.
Thank you!
Anybody know how red oak prices are? Last time I looked they were in the toilet
There basically worthless!!
How long have you been cutting and selling timber they way your channel describes?
Going on 15 years.
I’ve honestly never seen it done this way. Did someone show you this, or did you sort this out yourself? You definitely save a little wood not cutting the notch, and like you said it can’t pull fiber, but I guess you have to know exactly where it’s going as you can’t really wedge it over.
There’s other people doing it or similar styles of it all over the Midwest. You can direct it with a wedge and by the way you finish your back cut quite a bit. That’s why I used wedges in the cut.
You can push it a little with the wedge, but once the kerf closes that’s all you got, right? Genuinely asking…
@@KevinsDisobedience the wedge gently directs but not much it helps roll a bit is the best way I can describe it
Too each their own but one day doing that will catch up to you and you'll pay the price question is is it worth it to you
It’s gonna catch up to us all. Funny thing about life is nobody makes it out alive.
I do t like the looks of them either...good video
Thanks !!!
Wind would be the biggest factor cutting like this right?
It would definitely come into play!
I thought so the old timer that taught me cut like this used to scare the Jesus out me
@@terricoon9029 awesome
“Next victim” haha nice
Good clean fun!
