Cutting and hauling firewood. What trees we harvest for firewood. In this video we cut and haul two loads of firewood. I also talk a little bit about what trees we select for firewood and why. We are using the 1953 Golden Jubilee and an old trailer to get the wood to the woodyard. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy. #firewood #uppermichigan #906 #goldenjubilee

I had similiar problems with small leaning trees. Sooo I asked my dad who is an old retired logger. The solution... put in the backcut and wedge first then cut the face and wedge it over. Works great.

When you are taking down 2 that are engaged at the top, you can do a double and use one to pull or push the other. Just deep wedge one, regular wedge the 2nd to fall in same direction then finish the one that'll be on top.
