advanced timber felling (sizwheel)

taking a tree out of lean for the best lay

[@joshmullinnex5113]

The video probably gave no justice to how hard it was actually leaning. Good job! I really like seeing how far I can swing a hard leaner around! Its fun

[@cavemanfaller9886]

Video never does

[@randledugger3354]

It absolutely works!! It amazed me the first time I used that technique.

[@bryansimmons3723]

Thats awesome. Amazing how far that swung the tree. I have only used that a couple of times but it sure works well.

[@HILLBILLY.556]

Perfectly done sir..!

[@funkysawmanwright5077]

I'm not a fan of the sizwheel face cut method, sometimes it's had to tell how brittle the hinge would may be and by relying on it to swing the tree around another could be an issue. Kerf Dutchman and soft step Dutchman faces are proven more reliable in less than desirable felling and timber conditions

[@dianeernest1660]

That was beautiful. Good job 👍

[@naruaugust2761]

Handy cut bro

[@rochrich1223]

There should be enough commentary or captioning so a non-expert knows what you have accomplished. I saw the extra notch twist the falling tree and the hinge wood held it closer to the stump than usual. However I don't know why or if I'm correct. A rank beginner would see even less.

That tricks going in my bag for SURE. thank you sir thats some earth moving pulling power ill tell you hh-what.

[@DjeehBear]

Nice stuff

[@georgewilliamssr5230]

LOL your the first person besides myself who uses that cut. 👍. I use it combined with a Dutchman. Take a larger block out of the face. Turns BIG Sugar Pine like a dream. Good job. I often refer to it as "The Secret Sauce".

[@timothysullivan4130]

Love the SIZWHEEL cut, it’s for seasoned pros. I have done a few, when it works it looks awesome. I just retired after 35yrs. My body’s JUNK😖😩🤣😂👍

Big swing. Nice job

[@travisteeter5072]

Great example 👍

[@danliu3764]

Did you cut through the hinge for some reason? Or is it just the angle of the video

[@johncurrie1789]

Awesome!

Awesome!!

[@russhall4780]

Looks like contract falling on a fire. Nice cutting!

[@neild7971]

Be nice to see a shot looking up from In front or behind the tree, so the effect can be seen, no one seems to show that, thanks though.

[@cavemanfaller9886]

Look at my videos I have one from inside the tree

[@neild7971]

@@cavemanfaller9886 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqvRhqpvgZZ0oNE this is the angle, nice hold on this one. i was really thinking about seeing a dutchman from this angle to see the change of direction as it comes into effect. Nice work

[@jasonfeazel3806]

Sweet!

[@ST-xx9rt]

Didn't look like it worked as much as you intended. I wonder if a 60°-90° face cut would have increased the results. I understand that would have lost some wood value

[@valqueenofValhalla]

My question is in the woods looks like you may be production falling why use sizwheel as risk out ways reward from what I can see there isn’t a reason to send it swing left am I wrong is there hazard I can’t see .

[@woofy548]

What was the reason for that cut? I dont understand what you accomplished

[@cavemanfaller9886]

To hold it from going down the hill. Took it about 45 degrees out of lean

[@godsoffspring4195]

@@cavemanfaller9886 .... In another vid, Killer Swing, you pulled off a 90 on a raggy look'in super HEAVY leaner straight downhill. Amazing!! I thought I was going to see the backside stump pull for sure. It was a bit of a nail biter. :>) I didn't see a siz in that one. Looked like you were just using thick back-to-lean/side-to-face hinge wood to hold and slowly swing the tree 90' into the undercut while you tickled the downside hinge. No?? *New subscriber* here with a word of suggestion. It would be great if you first show your entire tree and plan so us watchers can relate to the full picture. One of the dustiest, blackest and grittiest jobs on earth. Hot and smoky too. I guess a man's teeth would wear down only second to a desert dweller. lol

Nice.

[@edwindude9893]

Can I borrow some of these video’s for my students ?

[@joebourke1018]

Can that cut work without using wedges?

[@fearlyenrage]

Yes. Because the hinge and the woodband are directing the tree into its fall. But it only works without wedges when the tree is cut in into its natural lean, so its weight pulls him where he would fall anyway.

[@joebourke1018]

@@fearlyenrage okay thanks, great video, I will keep this in mind.

[@unnamed_channel]

The tree is leaning away from the camera, and with this type of cut you leave little or no hinge wood on that far side. Since that side (the far side) is under compression rather than tension due to the lean, you do need a wedge or it'll tent to close up on you and pinch your bar as you're making the back cut.

[@robertslater5706]

Hey what’s the reason behind this cut?? Thanks

[@DjeehBear]

So that the tree will longer hold onto the stump for better travel control. It is used as your regular post that you would leave on one side of the stump. Nice stuff

[@Northwoods208]

The sizwell allows the hinge on that side more room to pull before the cut closes and breaks it off, that extra couple seconds of pulling can swing the tree quite a ways. It's essentially the opposite of a dutchman

[@whiskey4553]

@@Northwoods208 should the face notch be made at a higher angle than so that it doesnt close too soon and create a dutchman effect? maybe the trees already swung by the time the face cut closes...

[@Back_country_nut_head]

That's Awesome dude!, would you have more control if you notched both sides of your face cut? I just think it would be a cool experiment😎👍🏼

[@DjeehBear]

Would there be a point doing it?. This is more for holding longer onto one specific side.

[@elonmust7470]

Opening up the compression side will only take away support that keeps the hinge intact.
