I have a good mix of ash, cherry, maple, and some beech. My favorite is the Elm, but it’s scarce do to them dying off. I been collecting the dead, and tending to the ones still alive, which is only 4

[@CSkwirl]

Nice to see some good saws do cutting, thanks! Can someone more experienced than myself explain the reason to bore cut the Ash that way, I've cut them but only after they've fallen in storms. I know they're brittle and can snap easily so is it to avoid barber chair? Asking because I actually need to fell a decent size one that the top broke off

[@Cake41579]

Caffeinated Skwirl he’s bore cutting because it’s really heavy to one side and a lot of damage to the interior wood that pups typically be huge wood. Without the “hearty” center, the bore cut is more controllable. Notice he came I. With the back cut, after the bore, a couple inches higher than the bore. This allows more control and less chance of bind. If your unsure if how to fell big timber, especially with a pithy center, it’s better to wait until you can find someone with more experience because they will seriously kill you or even worse. Hair lip your pecker. Nobody needs a hair lipped pecker.

Good lord I wish I had one of those timber skidders for my woods. I live in gaines michigan and the ground has never froze yet. My skidder is my 72 masssey ferguson 135 and a boom pole with a chain. My ms 391 and my ms 361 had bad chains so I'm cutting everything with my ms 170. But it took me 4hrs to pull out 4 cords of wood from trees I fell or fallen down ask I think one pull with that skidder would have been that amount. But at least I have something. Sweet video

[@4570levergun]

It really interesting to see how differently East Coast vs West coast logging is. That Ash was gnarly.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

Way different for sure ... for one the wood is much harder than the pnw ... for two “west-coast port-jobs” cost ya an arm and a leg and seem more s/u for the fir and redwood (softer on Janka scale) i.e. powerband just ain’t got as much low end as these “east coast” wny builds ... maybe splittin-hairs here but I can tell the difference in powerband cuttin hard maple ; locust and hickory with “west coast product” for sure ...

[@cshaffer2904]

That's a good number lvrgun. I am wondering about the necessity of the bore cuts, is that so you have time to make the hinge exactly where you want? Harvey, I remember you saying something about conventional in the east bc of bigger root flares. I would like to hear your thoughts on the cuts too. Like the second take on the first cut of the last ash, changing the angle or decided to move the hinge? I'm just hungry to learn more to be ready for the situations I find in Pa

[@elonmust7470]

@@fabzacres-blackcat How do you know? I've cut on both sides of the country & some wind beaten costal douglas fir has more density than any ash or redoak that I've ever cut. Not to mention osage orange & the gambut of other hardwoods out west. Eadt coast cutters have it easy, that's why you see so many of them running a bare bones setup iE no wedges, a saw with a puny 20" bar, no caulk boots, etc... When I first started working in western NC doing contracts, I ran my ported 660 with a 32" bar & square ground chain (my go to setup) & I used west coast cutting techniques. Not only did I produce 3X what was normally cut, I did it with 1/3 of the effort. This guy spends 5 minutes on a stump juat so he can slab the butt log LMAO...
