Man, good job!!! The 572xp did a great job!!

I'm not sure that many people realize the work and skill it takes to do what this guy did right here by getting the tree to the ground without ruining it or his saw, or himself. It's a good feeling once you get em down. Great work.

Wow, what a good job you did on that massive tree! The 572 made it look a whole lot easier than it no doubt was. This was worth the wait.

I love cutting, sawing and milling but I would have given that ol grandaddy oak a pass. It'll take 1000 years to replace it. Mixed feelings here.

That’s a awesome tree. Great job on taking it down. Not many people can cut a tree like that lots of preparation to cut one like that. Great video

I am getting one of these saws this week, I'm pretty excited.

Impressive cut .. this is a real man cut ... Like cutting down the Eiffel Tower, massive !!!!

Thank you Tim

Seriously impressed by that 572 running a 36" bar without skip chain. As you said not the same torque as the 395 but got the job done without crying!

You did a great Job felling this great tree, I like all of your videos, keep them comeing

Tree fact for all the people that don't know the truth about tree's. Healthy, forest grown tree's, especially hardwoods, grow really fast. Oldest hardwood tree I ever cut was a white oak that was 9'8" on the stump and was only 146 years old. Cut a 54" Blue Ash today that was 85. Tree's are just like anything else that lives and breaths, it's only going to be around so long and that's it. Sure, those tree's might of lasted another 30-50 years, but they were already in decline. If the tree is cut in it's prime, far less goes to waste, and potentially the products made from tree's like this might be around for thousands of years, which to me is a far greater story to tell than rotting back to the ground.

Tim, When they were putting housing projects in the Beaverton, Oregon area around 15 years ago, I was given several white oak trees that were in the 6 and 7 foot diameter range at the stump. Surprisingly, they were unable to locate anyone interested in purchasing the logs in our area. They were glad I was interested in removing the logs bucked into 12 to 16 foot lengths. We loaded them using some 7/8 inch diameter chokers that had been left on our farm by people that logged our property of Douglas Fir and Cedar in the 1930's. By the way, the stumps left on our place using spring boards to get above the swell buts were cut between 8 and 12 foot high. Most of the stumps of the trees fallen in the 1930's were from 4 to 8 or more feet in diameter at 8 or 12 feet above the ground. Getting back to the oak, we utilized two large track hoes and the chokers to load the logs onto my trailer. I milled the logs using our Lucas swing blade sawmill. The Lucas mill works great milling very large logs. The white oak in our area doesn't have large swell buts like the trees you took down. There was not a lot of taper, 6 to 12 inches on a 16 foot log. The trees were that way down to about 2 feet above the ground. For your information I used my Jonsered 910 with a 48 inch bar to buck the logs to length. You did a bang up job getting those big trees down. If you come across any more, I would like to see you try spring boards to get above the swell buts when doing the falling. That should be very entertaining!

Awesome tree! Thanks for sharing the cut!

Did a lot of milling with my 372 for years using a 32 inch bar and a rio chain. It ran really good, even cut red oak love as wide as the mill would allow. Have a 572 coming in a couple days and can't wait to see how it pulls.

I love my 572xp. I had mine a week after you uploaded your first video on it. No problems I run a 28 Tsumara on it, and the stock 20 I bought it with. My back ups are the shindaiwa 600sx, and a stihl 441c.

Wow what a crash and what a tree. Awesome job man I couldn’t imagine the rush you felt as it went down. I’ve run saw a good bit in my life and I can say a tree like that will keep ya in shape. It’s a lot of work running a saw like that. Sweet

Good stuff man! I'm getting a 572 for my next saw. I cut a huge water oak this summer in a guys yard with a barn and a dog pen near it, lol. There wasn't much flares on it, thank god, and I was just able to get through it with my 570 Husky and a 28" bar coming from each side. Climbed it and put a cable in it to pull it, shook the ground when it hit.

Tim that brought back good memories back in the day. saw the heart out of it not Splinter pulling it. If that log 16 foot long 47 inches at the little end it would have 1936 board feet Dole scale we used to run 2100 Husqvarna with a Oregon hard wood chipper chain good video.

Extremely amazing felling, WOW..! Brilliant work..

My dad, rip he would have really enjoyed this video- he cut logs in Ms in the 70s-80s with P52 Pioneer Chainsaws-heavy saws Old school logger

Hella of cut. Nice work. And thanks for being smart enough to wear and use safety equipment. You set a good example.

man that's hard work. I cut two 6ft willows a few weeks ago with a Stihl 391 24" bar. I was frigging toast and soaking wet at the end of the day. Could barely move for two days... Hat's off to CT3 for that one, never done one that big and I don't think I ever will lol. Have a huge 400y/o beech tree about that size on the property, but not ever going to get that one down, will wait until it comes down naturally...

Amazed that 576 or 572 pulled that 36" that well. Impressed. Nice job. As much as it hurts to see such a large tree gone and off to the mill but it's better than waiting to late and watching it rot out. Great video and explanation. After watching not sure I'm so loyal to Stihl. I dont see a 460 doing that. Stay safe

What an impressive tree! Sad to see it go. But a beautiful job felling it mate! I can appreciate how hard of a job that was to drop!

good work on a big job

I felt like I was watching Avatar. Wow, though, I would've like to have that log to mill, I hate to say. I love the smell of freshly cut oak.

That was a Beast for Sure !! Nice cutting Tim.....Great video....

Finally, thank you

That 572 did an amazing job with that long of bar in a big ole oak Impressed I definitely have to get me one of those lol

Wow what a cut you sure made it look easy!

That looks like the trees here in northern California. We get oaks around 12' , redwoods around 25'. That was awesome I have fell a few....lol

Great job Tim, fair play man:):)

Unbelievable! I bet you could carve a Holiday Turkey to a Masterpiece! Enjoying watching this video!👍

Retired now and still missing doing 2 of these big stems a day here in Northern BC Canada. Wonderful days outside making good money. Ahh, those were the days my friend.

Nice. Video thanks 😊

Husqvarna is doing well. I had a Husqvarna dirt bike in my youth.

Very nice job Tim

Good Job, cotontop !!!!

great video Tim, man that was one massive tree and some great sawing man good job be safe and have a blessed day !

Awesome video!

Good job! Cutting those big trees is like pouring concrete, it's a lot of work and once you start you can't stop till its finished.

You could get a few table tops out of that beast… another incredible video Sir. The sound it made as it hit the ground…Wow.

wow ,! now that a big ass tree buddy nice work !!!!

All that poison ivy making me itch just watching! Amazing drop nice work!

Good video have a good week and stay safe 👍

Wow. Incredible. I enjoyed seeing this video. I think that tree has a life span and a purpose just like we do in this world. Maybe I'm wrong. Glad it wasn't a giant redwood though. I hope to get to see those trees one day.

That sure is intimidating to cut a tree that big , getting some butter flies in the stomach,the feeling like walking in the ring getting ready to fight a prime Mike Tyson... great video GREAT JOB..💪💪🪓. I got a 572 XP and I love it..

Great video 👍 👍

When the winglets you trim off are as big around as the trees you normally log you know you have a monster on your hands.

Great video today Tim

What a tree and I Killed it! Well done You!

Awesome video Tim that is a big tree the biggest tree I have every seen was 48 of cross

that 572 handled that 36 very good that what I run on my 390 xp

wow that was a monster tree great video Tim thanks. like to see what its worth and weighs or what not once the mill get it.

As a logger some of you don’t realize the landowners want it cut for $$$ it’s not always up to the logger. Some don’t however also. I’ve cut tracks on River bottoms that literally broke my heart to do. But it’s all part of the business. If it was mine personally it would get left.

Holy smokes Tim, that's the biggest dang tree I ever laid eyes on and I wasn't even there, thats a #stud great video Tim, thanks for sharing. 🚜🌳💪🌲

I went into firefights with less gear than that back on my 05 tour. Lol congrats on takin' down that biggin safely

Magnificent old-growth oak tree!

That tree would make some good tabletops!

Good work

Oh my god nice tree ty

Great job enjoyed that, your a tree cutting machine!!!!!

Thanks for the video I'm looking at a 372. Your info was appreciated and helpful. Ed White Callahan, Fl.

I felt thr ground shake at my house here in Lexington NC lol wow

Да, здоровый дуб!!! Хорошая пила, хорошая работа! Я не вальщик и не так много пилю, но люблю пилить, и одна из моих цепных пил достаточно мощная и годится для такой работы, это Makita DCS 7900. Пилил ей один раз сухой дуб который в диаметре был немного поменьше но всё равно здоровый для наших мест.

Definitely impressive for a 70cc saw Cottontop .

Hello Tim wow what a beauty that,s when you wish you had your own mill, the stuff you can build with that tree wow is all i can must have been a fun job 5 stars way to go. Your friend Bigredscotsman!

Those KBL's are fun to operate

Interesting video !!

Nice felling. I have run the xcut chains on my 550xp mk2 and am really impressed with the cutting ability of a semi-chisel. Have been wanting to try the full chisel xcut for my 572. I'm no pro tree guy, but I find full house chains are better for the 572 when felling. For some reason, the skip tooth chains seem to bind when making the face cut where I don't have that same issue with full house chains; maybe it's where the peak torque/rpm is?

Tim, makes you pucker! I am 63 and it still makes me nervous, I have one Huge Oak like that one, And fully intend to leave it stand!

That was a huge tree. Nothing in comparison to the old growth redwoods in California and Oregon but, still a large tree and tough work.

Wow!

I think Chad did an excellent job of cutting the tree down he was safe about doing it and watching everything that he was doing being very careful that's a good thing to do

Your skills with that saw amazing. Bet you worked up a sweat on that one. Have to be in good shape to tackle that job.

Excellent video Tim. I've been looking forward to this since you talked about it last week. The 572xp handled the 36" bar easily. Thanks for all you do. Have a great week.

Awesome

572xp did good. As they say though, no replacement for displacement.

Is it that bar making the saw bog a bit more than it usually does? Just finished watching the rest of the video, thanks for explaining

Bel video saluti dalla Svizzera

Reminds me of ol girl I was cutting back n da dayz

That is nice .

Sure took a whole lot a cuttin!

Now that is a tree!

Kinda mixed feelings seeing that beast come down. 😥 Hopefully they'll make something nice out of it.

Dang son... that’s a biggin’!!!!

Tree toes LOL!

I ain't a tree hugger but damn sad to see such a big ass oak tree cut down.

As a Botanist the tree looks as it has withstand drought and heavy rains followed by years of wash off by the exposed root base. True survivor until it was commissioned to fall. Not the sawyers fault. But the land owners. I ama sawyer as well and we do what we have to do to keep the lights on.

Big old tree almost got to see it fall!

Holy Shit that is a lot of tree and a nice job dropping it Tim. My personal best was a just over 3' white pine up here in New England and that had nothing on this baby LOL. Great vid as always Tim while I don't comment often I don't miss any of your vids Thanks for all your quality vids

The power in a big tree falling just watch that big limb snap like it’s a twig

Dang Tim, you made a ton of man glitter, chips everywhere.

Nice job, its VERY noticeable just how fuel efficient strato cylinder designed saws are to the old traditional 2T designs. U just get so much more work dine per tank.

That 572 liked that work out. I’ve ran my buddy’s they will eat some wood

I must admit, I was wrong. I had serious doubts about the 572xp handling the 36" bar. I can admit when I am wrong. I had thought to myself that the 572 would be a good saw for pine and poplar but not necessarily enough saw for hardwood of any size, I was wrong. I think I am going to buy one and run a 24" bar and chain on it and I will be plenty happy with that. Thanks for the video Tim, I've been waiting for something like this. I understand your affiliation with Husqvarna but I believe you still capable of giving a fair and honest opinion of the equipment you run.

Dang Tim that was huge..You have a great day..

Great job. Would bee nice to follow this tree to the end of processing. Loading, hauling to mill, then sawing at the mill. Also, as asked below by others, how old is this tree. Could you count the rings? Must be over 400 years. Then the value of the logs and lumber. Thanks. That sound hitting the ground was something else.

Just think, years ago, folks cut that down with an ax. This was later followed by the cross-cut saw.

I would like to know what it scales out on board feet!!
