Felling trees greater than twice the guide bar length When felling larger trees you need to follow a slightly different felling technique. Make a bore in the middle of the directional notch. Apr 27, If you dont need the winch and wedges will do thats fine but very hard to get a rope into a tree after the back cut has been made.

take your time set the scarf up nice and level. bigger bar would be great but if no go then a bore cut as shown above will work bushlopping.bar a good set of wedges,but you have stated the tree has a good lean.

eucs are a curse in a breeze,(barberchair city!!!) early am best for bushlopping.bar trees. Oct 01, If you find yourself on a % slope (45 degree) in larger timber the only alternative to a long bar is springboards. Or if when dealing with hazard trees that you cannot cut from one side the alternative is saying no. A chainsaw with a 10 – 14 – inch bar is capable of felling a large tree (preferably under 20 inches in diameter) or blocking up firewood. But if the diameter is higher than the guide bar length by a wide stump grinder hire harrogate, a saw with a less powerful engine will be of little use to you.

Time is of the essence here. Apr 13, The largest was an American Elm with a 50" base. I used my Husky XP with a 28" bar. (upper bar limit for the saw)She dropped right where I wanted. I like to think that it was because of great felling skills but I know some luck was involved. I then bucked 8 1/2' sections with the same saw. Ended up with 8 logs all measuring 8' 6".

Nov 11, The breaking bar is available in different handle lengths providing you with varying amounts of felling force. Avoid breaking bars with a long handle for really thick trees and large backward leans, as this may require a lifting height that is greater than you can handle. Maximum lifting height: approximately 2 bushlopping.barted Reading Time: 5 mins.

Start a bore cut at the normal level for a back cut, again using the lower quadrant of the bar. Bore straight in, leaving enough hinge wood for the size of the tree. Walk the saw back, cutting approximately half the tree and leaving sufficient holding wood in back.

Repeat the procedure on the opposite side. Use a release cut from the back side.
