So…let’s just start with…trees don’t need to be trimmed. “THEY WILL SELF PRUNE” So this is 99% for looks and the Reason trees are trimmed is that it’s the bread and butter Of arborists and people Want their trees to look a certain way. But if you fall in to those categories - get a real arborist. Not a tree trimmer and not your average run o the mill weekend graduate arborist.

Great review. Thanks for putting it together.

Hi mate just wondering have you used tritec with the art positioner? If so how did you find its smoothness?

If a tree falls in the forest, but the playback video is on mute, does it make a sound?

These guys sure do love their terminology don't they?

I get what you're saying but you got way too much length in your system so it's hard to take you serious? Put a chainsaw in your hands, then show me if want to convince me? I think the problem is your harness. The rope bridge on the front of your harness is adding unnecessary distance.

That is a brilliant piece of equipment. Looks a lot more professional than connecting a line to your truck bumper? Lol

Local arborist says you should never lion's tail an oak tree.

So a bucksqueeze

Camera Man, Plz focus on what he is trying to share with us ( close up ) Zoom in : ) We can hear him talking. Dont need to see everything he is saying . Thx. LOVE and APPRECIATE everything you share with us.

Can you do this on a straight tree?

Hi Josiah! I just wanted to put in a request for you to make more videos explaining how to prune all different types of trees- young, old, conifers, deciduous, for aesthetics, for health, specific tree species, etc. There’s not enough content on properly doing this and I feel like you have the perfect channel to do it.

With the small bend ratio of that ring are both legs of rope carrying the weight of the piece making it double the weight at ring ?

I like to get my throline in the tree, tie my rope on, pull the rope up just over the union i want and then use a bite from my rope to tie i guess a double running bowline around the throw line if thats the best way to explain it, then pull the throwline all the way through so my bowline is at the union and the tail end of my rope is touching the floor, that way i have the least amount of useless tail to work with and its midline attachable like the notch quickie anchor you showed there, personally i prefer base ties for access rather than canopy anchors and then ill set a canopy anchor higher up in the tree once i am already there

Great review!

Bro what happened to your head and eye

I appreciate your reviews. I just want to note that as someone who has lived up and down the west coast my entire life, I would never call the Sierra Nevada's the pacific northwest because there is just such a huge difference between the two. Norcal is a very unique and beautiful place, I don't see too many channels representing that area so IMO you should own it.

Very nice, I will remember for the next time I have a touch you to knock down

Perfection on a stick.❤

Wow! I wish I could climb a tree like that. Thank you for the tip on how to prune a tree. 😊

Thats awesome. Great job. Would love to see a video of how you set that up.

Beautifully done

Fr thought this was a video game for a sec

Nice man

How much you charge for that?

Great review. That thing looks like a true beast. Like some other people said maybe the 6.0 forge battery will be your saving grace and help with the weight. Thanks for putting out quality content.

I love the rigging wrench! Another great use. I do prefer the original dmm one, blown out 3 of the ISC pulleys.

I really want to start building useful winches that aren't thousands of dollars. Approaching $4k seems a bit much for something like that! lol

Well, that was amazing. 😲👍🏼

Nice fall can definitely tell ain't your first rodeo... Nice job

That bottom notch is probably the smartest thing ive seen

Boss

Noice work. Knowledge makes life so much easier

Have you ever tried a double undercut using the same method that you are using but just cut to your furthest undercut out towards the tips of each piece being cut. I use this any I know I can't undercut deep enough and I wouldn't be able to get through piece fastest enough to make it land flat. This is the situation that I use this cut in and it never has failed me.

What I want to know is how to angle cut a branch. If it’s angled,swhich direction the new shoot goes.

I'm 58 yrs old is that too old to start climbing trees ?

could you show us how exactly to make one

Have you tried the new FORGE batteries? Supposed to be the same power delivery as the 12s without the weight

Now go up that without gaffs... that's what I want to learn

I only get nervous about missing my limb and losing progress lol

I like a Review like this after 1 year in a Real Working Environment!

Proper application of this style of cut where the desired lay ist quite narrow and damage would be costly. Reduced risk justifies cutting effort imo. 👌🏻

Everyone thinks they need to do this fancy cut thanks to the Internet. It's actually needed .01% of the time. By the way, your notch isn't even level which is something a beginner would know.

Great n well rounded review! 👌🏻 Much appreciated level of detail. Since you've owned and used quite a few chainsaws i would've liked you to mention why the old ones stopped working and why you opted to go for a _different_ one when looking for a replacement. 👀🧠 I think you're qualified to provide a valid comparison.

It’s called a key slot cut. Not only is it a waste of time because of how long it takes, it’s dangerous because of the possibility of the holding wood from your back cut holding on to the “key”. It can easily twist and snap in a different direction. You could argued the possibility of a barber chair is much higher (debatable). I’ve seen people getting their chainsaw pinched more often than not trying to plunge into the first cut. I will say tho situationally like next to this house it’s nice the “slot” holds the “key” from rolling but you can achieve this same thing with an open face.

Thanks for the video! Is it the same method with the other type of file? The other one is cheaper and its what i already purchased

Heavier than the new Stihl?

I'd like to see a side by side cut demo between this and other top handle saws in your arsenal, gas or electric. I want this saw, it looks like a winner and I'd love to have a top handle. Does it perform ok with smaller batteries? I have one 6ah high output but most of mine are the 5ah standard batteries.

I bought the Makita based on this review. I live in MN and our number one removal is ash trees killed by EAB. Ash is one of the toughest trees to cut through in MN. The 36v makita is worthless here. It stalls out 10 times through a 12" cut. I used it around 10 days on the job. The chain tensioner malfunctioned, then I almost cut myself. The f$@#n' throttle interlock failed. I accidentally hit the throttle twice, which I have never done with any other saws. After testing that the throttle interlock didn't work anymore, I smashed the thing to pieces and tore out the electronics to recycle. absolute garbage

Thanks for the information. I've been thinking about one
