BEST Small Tree Felling Technique for FULL CONTROL 🌴

One of our favorite cuts for smaller diameter trees that have a funky lean to how you want them to fall, “the Palm Tree Cut 🌴” this technique allows wedges to pass through the hinge to help the feller get extra lift but there are a few cautionary things you need to know before you go trying this cut.

You can absolutely use this method to point a little tree into any direction you want. Used this method many times. A wedge is your best friend!

Hook up tractor and pull. If you don’t have tractor, then use wench tied off to a stump a safe distance away. Never get under it as that is why they are called “widow makers”.

Yeah, how you described is how it is normally done. Their cut seems very odd to me. But a lot of things are different and even odd with these guys. But I still watch. Not sure why. I guess it’s my natural nature to be mean. But their did is way freaking cool!

25 year arborist speaking, I would suggest not calling this the "best" for control as there are a lot of inexperience viewers. The best control in my experience would be to simply put a line in the canopy with a traditional notch and back cut. Wedge only felling are fine but consider them best used for lower risk situations. Good quality video.

@@bjorn-e.t.6198 if a tree is leaning back and you put the face in first, it will lean back more and pinch the saw when you make the back cut. So make the back cut first, put wedges in, and then make the face cut.

You can’t do back cut first far enough without pinching bar, or deep enough without pinching to make it worth hammering the wedge in the back. This way appears to be far superior

Ive been cutting trees for over a decade, and ive yet to use a wedge when felling a tree! Its too much of a gamble imo! Cant really ever go wrong with pulling it over with a rope! Only thing id like some wedges for, is to help aid in bucking up big tree trunks that you cant roll or they are in a bad position. Or when trying to flush a stump, they come in handy. But then again, so do a pocket full of broken twigs! If you know you know! Lol
