just cut down a dead tree that was approx 30' tall. this method worked like a charm and it fell within about 6" of where I was aiming. Thanks!!!

It's an MS460 with a 32" bar. Although I went with the salesmans advice regarding the bar size, it's larger than what Stihl advises to use. We burned out the clutch a two months ago, so stay within Stihl's recommendations regarding bar size. BTW, although the saw was used only three times on the job, and the paint was hardly missing on the bar, the saw was past the 90 day warranty, so I had to pay for the repairs. Oh well. Thanks for watching!

Another thing, best practices is to supliment the back-cut with falling wedges, in case the tree has some bias and wants to settle back. You can arrest that movement and ensure you don't get your bar pinched stuck.

It's also important to match the right saw to the tree. What I mean is this. I once tried to cut down a tree with about 16" trunk with a MS 171 Stihl. It was a loosing battle. The saw was greatly under powered for the job. It's also a good idea to have some wedges handy to prevent pinching.
@karlrovey Жыл бұрын
Yeah, a 171 isn't intended for that. If you are such using a 171 in that situation, you have to be patient to avoid bogging.

One tip: Lay a series of log sections spaced perpendicular along the line of fall. The tree felled will lay upon them and will be bucked for crosscuts. Never bind your bar again.

Hello Shark! Yes, there are times when head protection wouldn't make a difference. It's similar to wearing a seatbelt; your chances of surviving an impact are greatly increased, but there are times when it wouldn't make a difference. As a rule, it's still good practice (especially for beginners) to wear head, eye and ear protection at all times. I agree; seasoned workers, (including myself) are able to recognize predictable hazards, but we should lead by example. Thank you for your post!

It is still the most-viewed video of its kind on the planet, which was unimaginable at the time; I still find it unbelievable, even when seeing the statistics!

Normally when you buy a saw from a stihl dealer, do you ask him step by step of what you want on the saw and then he sales it to you, or does he just sale you a particular model in a box that comes with accessories? How does all that work out?

When cutting my sink cut I always cut from the top first. I don't understand why some people don't. I can look at the line on my saw the whole time, choose the angle of my cut with more accuracy, when I come to cut the bottom I don't have to find a twig and I don't end up cutting through where I want my hinge to be because I can see the chain through my top cut. I always struggle to see any advantages of doing it like this.
@dougmorford20119 жыл бұрын
Tom Harding If you cut the top first, you'd have to line up the gunning sight perfectly as you start the cut. And once you finish that cut, you can't change your direction of fall. Doable, but not precise. If you start with the bottom cut, also known as the gunning cut, you get to make small adjustments to your direction of lay at the end of the cut, which is way more precise. Lining up the sloped cut with the gunning cut is just as easy/difficult as lining them up in the opposite order; unless you're cool with dutchmans.

I am sick of watching videos and then begin to read comments and every man and his dog seem to have to slag people off...it makes me sick how disrespectful people have become to each other these days as though having a computer grants everyone a license to abuse people, especially on social media.
