Yeah, my mistake, the operator was pretty careful not to cut through the hinge, although that bar was only just long enough!
I have to say though, I find that whole 'hammering wedges into the side' thing quite laughable. Your not going to stretch the holding wood/tail that you cut through at the end. At best you'll generate a slight lift but mostly wood distortion.
Ive seen a few high profile training providers promoting this technique for standard fellings, utter nonsense!
Admittedly it does have a hold and release value, which works great for leaning or pre-tensioned trees, but other that that it achieves nothing.
Anyhow, that's just my opinion Brainfart, what do you think?
Also, what's your background, what's the industry like in Germany and who are the main retailers. By the way, your English excellent. Cheers
