Pro Tree Cutters

Re: Pro Tree Cutters

I have been involved in felling enough trees in my 60 years to know that when it comes to dropping a big one, there are no guarantees. I have seen trees twist 180 degrees on the hinge and fall exactly the opposite way. I have seen trees split when you start cutting the hinge, and I have seen trees change direction part way down.

Unless you want to take out liability insurance and risk your financial neck, hire a pro who is insured and equipped for the job.

If you haven't guessed yet I'm crazy it will be done....with the help of loggong chains a winch .come along .wedge,jack and hopefully a sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssouth west wind getting up this weekend I'LL take some shots of the task...before it's done...have to practice some more on about 12 more trees I aim for the pile of limbs,stumps but the leaner wont be going that way...below might be the jack method if it works or attachment nope to big a file

With all due respect, if you don't understand the difference between a shock line and a chain, you're in over your head.
