Great fell! Check out how to “stack wedges” with the use of a series of plunge cuts. Its a safer way of felling those big dead trees and your wedges wont fly out at you.
Hey Zack! Thanks brother, I got new K&H wedges which stack way better than these cheap echo ones! Just took down a maple tree with them and didnt bounce once! Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you so much for all the wood boiler related videos. As a new wood boiler user I’ve found your channel and videos to be hugely helpful. Keep it up!
Wow, Jay! That was a nail-biter! Didn’t realize how big that tree was until you started your notch cut. I’m wary of taking down snags with limbs hanging on. Great job! I loved the slo-mo and reverse views! Thanks for sharing!
Good take down. I always bury my wedges right until I can't pound anymore before I try to double them up. Can't always do that on smaller trees. But I use two or three and alternate pounding them in all the way until they are sunk. Then if I still need more lift, I double up. And the tree looked like a maple to me.
Hey Derek! Yeah I thought for sure the single wedges would work but guess not haha I looked at the footage again and one limb up top was holding it up ahaha I thought it was red oak but could be maple haha whatever either way its a hardwood and it will burn haha Thanks for tuning in!
Good day Sir 😊 I realy like your reverse video editing Sir👍 ( I will attente that for sure ! ) 😊 A lots of dead limbs falling after 👍😊 Yes once the all tree will be season it will burn very well 😊👍 Have a great week Sir Cheers !!!
Hey Dave! Yes I had some fun editing the video! Man that tree was a ball to drop! It slammed the ground! Did you feel up there? hahah! Just ordered my XL-12 parts to rebuild it!
Oak is incredibly strong. It doesn't take much for it remain. Good video Jay. One of my earlier videos shows me taking down a storm damaged oak. It makes quite a thud when it goes down too.
I bought a new Echo Timberwolf and sent it to Iowa Performance Saw's for a muffler mod and retune and it's a good saw. I'm looking for information on a better chain to replace the original. I've thought about the EXL, or Huskys X-Cut chain, what chain do you recommend for it to cut hardwood. Thanks
Hey there! I am working on tuning in my Humboldt as I normally use a conventional notch but I will eventually be taking down some straight pine for lumber so i need to master the Humboldt for greatest wood yield.
Nice work Jay. Little dirt between the wedges will help them stick together, and it can save you the pain of one hitting you. Don't ask how I know lol. Have a great week.
Jay nice work getting that big oak down looks like it brought half the forest with it. Love that Echo 590 wish I had one wait I do the Shindaiwa 591 the red step cousin. Really enjoyed the attack of the wedges and the expression on your face. I had the same thing happen in my last video a split flew out of my splitter and took out the tripod. Take car brother.
Hey OGA! Yeah my tripod has duct tape all over it haha its been hit with so much stuff haha poor thing! Thanks for tuning in! Yes this tree also tool a lot of other limbs with it as well hahaha
Its amazing how some of them are dead straight! This one had one limb hanging on once that limb slipped by it slammed like you saw haha Thanks for tuning in!
I didnt start this for money. Some channels shake the can every week and I dont agree with that! Ill do a live hopefully soon its just a matter of finding time lol 2 kids, a wife, job, etc... haha
@@shayn4220 What a dang shame how that man was treated. Rising tides lifts all boats and people wanted off the boat for whatever reason. Dont get it. Spent 4 years fighting back when we could have moved leaps and bounds forward
Hey Thomas! As you saw I had a tad smaller hinge than I liked but I thought it was holding it from going! The notch side was solid wood so I was pounding wedges into the softer side so I was trying to take off some pressure so my wedges could work as they were only burying into the softer wood! Thanks for tuning in! Its all good at the end of the day im safe and its down! Thanks for tuning in brother appreciate it!
