 Re: felling Mountain Ash in Australia
Yep! chain her up, I don't need a hair cut, she had a lean backwards towards the HV lines, we had two ropes pulling her hard and this makes alot of pressure when backcutting .Mt Ash love's splitting and cracking so more caution must be taken plus always use a sharp saw and keep it cutting.When it hit the ground she split most of the way along because of it's straight grain.Watch out for jamming saws.
Have seen barber chairs,root plates lift up and tree sliding back of the stumps, allways try to limit these hazards as much as possible it's danagerous enough and be ready for the unexpected,shit does happen! and in your joc's aswell. |
