131 - Small but Dangerous - Felling Trees with Echo Chainsaw

In this video I fell a couple dead trees that are dangerous to cut by exercising safe tree cutting techniques.

Spending time outdoors doing projects with various machines and tools - anything from cutting trees, firewood, clearing brush, milling wood, plowing snow, reviewing, repairing & fabricating equipment. Doing landscaping and maintenance on my forested property using my Kubota tractor.
And its not all work!! Gotta take time to play - after turning my pond into a skating rink, and a whole bunch more of outdoor activities.

You got that right! Thanks and have a great day!

Good job putting the tree where you needed the tree to fall. Thanks for taking your time and explaining what and why of your work. Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Bob, every tree cut is a new experience and always there is always something to learn. Have a super weekend!

[@whenworkisplay]

Very nice Paul. Dead trees are unpredictable and that was a dense area you were working in. The lever was a nice idea, I have never seen that before. Looks like spring has arrived in your area as well. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🪵🪓

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you kindly Ben! It is very spring like here and a whole bunch of rain is on it's way. You too have a great weekend!

Well done, Paul. Regardless of the size the condition of the tree can make it tricky also, great advice.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Kenny, totally agree. Have a fabulous weekend!

Perseverance. Nicely done and very safely.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Mike! Have a great week!

Great instruction, Paul. It seems like there is an epidemic of dead trees right now for everybody. I have a list of them to come down. Have a great weekend!👍

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks John. Absolutely, over the past 10 years there sure has been an increase in dead trees of various varieties. Safe cutting and have a super weekend!

Nice job 👍 I've always been of the mindset the small ones are the ones that get ya. They're all dangerous. Well done 🤠👍

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Sam. You are right, they are all dangerous. Have a great weekend!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job dropping these trees. And I like that you said no matter what tree you're taking examine it closely as any tree can jump at ya and ruin your day. Thanks for sharing this Paul and take 'er easy!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

It's going good Mike and thanks. For sure, every tree is different. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Well done Paul 👍🏻. I had one similar to the first one and I'm not too brave when using a chainsaw so I tied a rope to it fairly high and then pulled it with the tractor👍🏻😳. You can hear the sound of spring in your video 👍🏻. Lots of rain coming here soon 🥴. Have a great weekend Paul 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂🙂

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks you Luc! Using a rope keeps you at a nice safe distance. Yeah the geese were flying overhead when we did the video and there were a lot of birds chirping away. The rain will help to thaw out the ground so I hope we get lots. You too have a great weekend!

[@MannistoCay]

I've never seen that method before Paul. Have to watch for "Chico's" as they call them here. Stuff falling from overhead. Nice work! 😊👍🌴

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Mark! You bet, always watch for overhead fall-out and throwback. Have a great week Mark!

[@loggerjohn01]

Well, I didn't see you fighting any buckthorn like me lol. Great job getting them down and on the ground. Take care

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks, no thorns in this section, I was happy about that as you know how nasty they are. Have a great evening!

[@retiredforlife63]

Even little trees like that can be so dangerous if they barberchair or split on you. Nicely done!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks! They most certainly can be Brian. Regardless of the size you need to be mindful that something can go wrong. Have a fantastic weekend Brian!
