Re: Felling technique Pigdog its funny you should be talking about this type of cutting since a month back I was looking at criminal damage in Narang state forest with stumps very much as you describe, I'm only helping collect data not the expert witness, an Arborist with strong forestry background is playing that role....we've described the style of cutting as Swedish, but I will chase up the Husky manual and see if it has any references in it....shame you didn't get the company name I would very much like to track down the origins of this type of cutting simply for my own satisfaction.
