How to Fell a Tree with a Chainsaw

American lumberjacks are very professional indeed. They have complete skills and equipment. This is awesome 😎

what kind of notch is that?

And yet folks will still climb step-ladders in shorts, T-shirts and sandals, to try and do the same thing. Learn from the Pros folks. There's no such thing as a trivial Chainsaw accident.

HEY WADE DID YOU SEE THAT?

Always knotch 30/70 all this was uneeded.

Nice job, how many times you accidentally hit your wedges doing it this way?

👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥

Everytime I see tree cut in my town they never have notches or bore cuts or anything its just straight across and flat. I actually watch them cut a tree down a block from my house and the guy almost had the saw kickback in his face when he was in the bucket! It was really scary to watch and I asked them why they dont make notches/bore cuts in the trees and they had no idea what I was talking about and they work for the city! Then proceded to ask me if i was a professional i said no but by the looks of it neither are you! I will never hire them to cut my trees thats for sure!

Keep safe to your work brother ❤️👍👍

Top notch music!

Hmm I always started with a horizontal cut, dogging in at a third of the tree and worked it around until my sights lined up with direction of intended fall. After this I would slide the bar out and dog in at a 45 from the corner of the kerf of the horizontal cut. Not moving your feet was key and after practice, it would line up by the time the time the gunning sights lined up with the intended lay. After the undercut was complete I dog in where I want my holding wood and stumpshot height. After starting my cut I’d place a safety wedge ASAP and snug it up after the tree started to commit. By the time the sights lined back up for the third and final time the tree…if don’t right should be moving. If it’s not I place falling wedges in the back cut, making sure not to be directly in the rear, in case I have to bore the guts. Pretty simple and efficient this way after confidence is built cutting. I never would bore the back cut unless it was a heavy leaner to protect from barber chair. I learned to cut on Hotshot crews though so techniques may be different from an arborist.

I have never seen this method, i can’t believe it worked

My strategy, first and foremost, is to Google local tree companies and choose one to come out and cut down/trim any problem tree.

Way I was trained , start notch at waist height and plan your escape route , other then that good video

I dont understand how this method put any lean into the tree at all, how could the wedges do any lifting when the back wasnt yet cut? Wouldn't it make more sense to do the back cut first, wedge it, then notch the front to the hinge?

If you use a humboldt type cut and put it approx. 1/3 of the thickness of tree then no side cuts or wedges are really needed . Side cuts can encourage rotation if the tree head or lean is too much against the direction of fall . A humboldt notch and full width hinge is safer I reckon and drops the tree end reliably away from the stump . For logging it also leaves the angle cut on the stump not the log .

Why dont loggers ever cut a tree this way?

What goes into the decision for the angle on the face cut? I’ve seen a few do the 70 degree method but often it’s far less from what I’ve seen anyways. Also the bore cut is to reduce Barber chairs in leaning trees correct? The face cut in this video just seemed much wider then what I see usually.

Hey Mark nice presentation broe, give me some job um here in SA

Harley riders and chainsaw guys: always gotta BLIP that throttle!

Hey what you call that for plastic Nail?

My dad done this for a living his whole life. He can make a tree fall where he wants it with just a few cuts without going around it. He has safely stood just behind thousands of trees. Watching this video made me nervous lol

Excellent video and info, you made me feel WAY more comfortable about dropping a 90 footer

Mark why does it look like you put your wedges so close to hinge point? If they are further back is it not good?

I’m a logger myself and i liked everything from the safety tips to actually how to fell the tree but in my opinion your notch cut should be a 45 degree and farther into the tree

Pas fameux les coupes

I don't know who taught you how to fell a tree. But those are some strange cuts. Not a West Coast faller that's for sure.

How much would you charge to cut thst tree

Way back when I was taught, we made 1 cut on the side where we wanted the tree to fall and another to fell it guiding it with the hinge. Boss said any other cuts were a wast of time, gas and wear on the saw. LOL

TOM PIPPS FOAM- BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA HI HELLO &

my chainsaw wont cut through the tree. dont know what is wrong. it is a new chainsaw.

Whats the point of ripping with the grain on a knotch so damn huge, like someone said 70 degrees. No reason based on physics. Maybe because its easier to get the wedge out without having to knock it out. Then i see wedges in the middle? Let me just shut up. This is tree murder. That tree had no reason it needee to come down. This video is ultra complicated on cutting a tree down. I would choose the ways that work for me. Wedges certainly. Tree murder.

How to “fell” a tree with a chainsaw
English 100

terrible video

He makes that bore cut look easy haha always nice to know if ur saw gets pinched u need a wedge hahah

Hi.. I'm Narta from Indonesia, I'm also a woodcutter but the tree in Indonesia is small, the tree I cut is the sengon tree. Are there sengon trees in your area? 🙏

Man I hate those 70° notches, I just throw a 45 in it and call it a day

Newbies do not use this vid as instructions. You would not plunge cut the back cut, the back cut is too high, and you would not wedge the flare especially that low on the tree. Lots of bad techniques.

I've got about 16 or so tall balsam & spruce trees (all softwoods) around my camp in northern Vermont that I am constantly worried will fall on the camp, either by being uprooted (shallow root systems), or internal & unseen insect damage that weaken the tree, and they snap & blow over. The problem is that my camp is on government property, and they only will allow me to cut what they decide, and only from October first to April first (to protect the habitat of some rare bat - go figure!). It is not a job I would ever attempt, and the trees lean towards the camp and wood sheds I have. To further complicate the issue, no machinery can be used, so a professional tree feller is needed. Any ideas?

Tree = Árvore

Clear as mud to me. Does anyone understand what he did?

First and foremost

can the back music

What's the name of the red rubber thing you put on the tree to hold it?
