In part 3 David Rossney makes chainsaw cuts to a tree so it falls where he wants. He also deals with a common problem, a "hung up" tree, where the surrounding trees stop it falling as planned.

Guys this is by fare the best video I have seen yet showing an attempt at dealing with a hung up tree using the NPTC city and Guilds CS31 best practice (for those not in the uk thats UK best practice for felling a tree up to 15" DBH). The only part where this falls down is that you are taught to open the hing up after the hang up by boreing through the middle of the hing leaving 10% on either side,then removing one of the pegs to role the tree out - never the less a good attempt.

I had this 4 days ago, never seen it done, never been on youtube and i did exactly what he said. Still was stuck and hung up, i felt like a failure but this actually cheered me up! I did it right, but still would not fall. I left it there cause i didnt wanna get hurt, so i got to shop and bought a lever winch.. Got it safely down today, and now im watching "felling hung up trees" on youtube .. Safety first is the most important thing! I was alone in the forest also..

In reply to the comments below, he's going slowly for the video. I trained with this guy (David Rossney, of Esus Forestry), and he's really good at taking you slowly through all the steps so you understand what to do. I've seen him work at full speed, and he's fast! And about tree size, he was doing a small one for demonstration purposes, as he only had a short time during the day. He trains and assesses people on all sizes of tree.

I cut a lot of firewood and face a lot of hung up trees that are already at a 45 degree angle hung up (Usually blow overs do this aka partially uprooted. For those I make a top and bottom cut. Then I take my truck with my biggest chain and yank perpendicular to twist it. Its been my safest and easiest way if you can get a truck to the location. The chain is also about fifty feet. Just always be safe and when in doubt call a professional.

@ianbcnp
@ianbcnp 4 жыл бұрын
It's standard practice to cut low in forestry so you maintain as much of the most valuable part of the tree at the base as possible and have a nice long pole and the highest price. I don't fell trees for timber so cut at a more comfortable height but when I do my three-yearly refresher course the trainer generally comments that I'm cutting too high!

Why was the first cut so shallow? feels like it should have gone deeper than half way.
@interiorocean5750
@interiorocean5750 Жыл бұрын
A cut that shallow works on some trees and doesn't on others. In a beginners instructional video it would have been better to be deeper. But I think it was to make it easier to create the hung up. That being said, never cut half way or deeper. A good rule of the thumb is up to 1/3 of the way. If you cut a heavy tree with a notch too deep the hinge is likely to fail and cause "stump jump" and then you don't know where the tree will fall. Another thing that too deep a notch does is it removes so much support that the tree doesn't stand on it's own and can actually fall backwards. You want the tree to stand on it's own despite the notch until you make the back cut.

Pushing the tree with a lever while standing behind it seems a bit risky. If the tree starts falling so the hinge breaks and then it gets caught on something, the base can move backward very suddenly. It might be safer to stand a bit to one side and drive in a wedge or two instead of using a lever.
