DIY process on how to take down tree branches using rope, chainsaw chain, and a little manpower. TIMBERRR! Soon you will have a plethora amount of fire wood now that the leaves are starting to change.

We had no choice but to start cutting down a 60ft dead tree in the garden, no professional tree feller wanted to take it on, so got a throw saw, tried tossing it with the supplied weight, useless, so I got the bow and arrow out, so far happy with the results...using the bow and arrow to fire a lightweight string over a branch

I’ve used cotton string, like kitchen string, tied to the end of an adjustable wrench. Swing it around a few times and then let it fly! 5:24

I have some much lower neighbors branches invading my yard and I'd like to cut the branches down. I'd need a 22' ladder 🪜 minimum unless I can use this method, branches may be 25' high or more, Tampa

the thing that worries me on these "double-sided" blades is maintaining it. only takes a moment for the blade to become dull if it runs into the wrong thing and doesn't seem it'd fit into my Oregon sharpener as a traditional blade would. how are u putting a new edge on this when needed?

How did you reverse the teeth on the saw chain?

@dougreid2351 Ай бұрын

Excellent question!

@aland7236 Ай бұрын

You have to take the chain apart and reassemble it to do something like that.There is a bench top tool that can be bought, or you can do it with a punch and a hammer. It'll be a tedious process either way.

@@do7hemath937 Yes they do, most decent ones have cutting teeth on both sides of the chain. Be warned, these rope chainsaws are great but sometimes they get pinched by the branch you're cutting and can be a royal pain to get out of the tree. Best to have two people as far apart as possible.

To keep the blade from "Binding" as the branch starts to sag... the two pullers must be as far apart as possible, this "wider angle" is also much safer too.
