Ok im not an armchair arborist either, but when ANYONE posts a vid or even a pic expect some critisism, or at least some questioning. The great thing about these forums is we see techniques, situations, gear, and species from the other side of the world we've never encounted before.
I dont mind your technique, and can think of times i might use it. For me though its unusal to do it just for the sake of cutting firewood in the tree. Thats what groudys are for. Unless i have to take small blocks at a time due to targets in dropzone i say get it down as big as possible. Either rig or fell out sections about 6 foot long and let the groundies cut it up.
Less time in the tree, especially in spurs, the better.
My only critisism is i reckon the bar is way oversized for the application, but im fussy about the right size saw for the wood im cutting. On a big removal i might switch from ms200(12-14") - 260(16") - 440/460(20/25") - 660(25/30+") as i get to bigger diameter stuff.
Good on ya for posting it, keep em coming. Like boa im stuck at pics at the moment but want to have some video soon. |
