If only two saw to Own ?

Crikeys!

jim1nz vs wyk

Jim, going back to Mattheck's axiom of uniform stress wouldn't it be possible that the weight of the canopy is used to balance force onto the root plate. The rapid removal of that counterweight would instantly place more force on the root plate where it was not before. Roots in tension (opposite the lean) would now have a lot more work to do as the branches that helped "counterbalance" the remaining canopy are gone. ????

One way of illustrating this is how cranes use counterweights.

Im quoting you, how can i lie.

It doesn't matter if the tree was in a swamp, there is no way born you could hear that with the chainsaw running full noise and ear pugs in.

Has anyone else ever seen a tree lean over from loosing a big branch? Please get some education or stick to your day job.

As politely as i can say it, ill say no more but thanks for the invite.

I've had trees where I've felt roots trying to pull out as i felled them,I've climbed a lot of dead laurel oaks that wobbled in the ground,never heard roots creak,and i never wear muffs or plugs,but if he says he heard them i believe him.

Saw Dr · 22nd January 2011, 11:23 PM

Two saw=
McCulloch SP 125
Homelite 750

Three saw=
add Poulan 8500 or 655BP

I don't have to add limb saws, as there are always several tophandle "groupies" hanging around my shop for free.

APSE · 25th January 2011, 02:15 PM

Two Saw,
Poulan 455
Poulan 655BP

Three saw,
A small hot rod
to add:
Homie SEZAO
Can't get a 40cc saw like this today.

No, you're right I don't like the new saws....too delicate!

Well having got a 13" bar on the stihl ms 361 this saw is most definatly my favorite saw with the 026 as a back up the 361 is miles faster and feels alot safer (bigger bar for bigger trees)

David Glen · 8th February 2011, 12:01 PM

I'm happy with my 200T and 660. Great saws!

newguy18 · 8th February 2011, 12:47 PM
