Very professional felling. But most of all a great attitude toward your style of cutting and what other techniques that us non-pros don’t have to deal with. Keep up the good work. Texas
@@Good.Fellers I've bent a bar before. No big deal. Just buy a new one, and learn from the mistake. But shit happens. I'm sure my first jump cut, without instruction, could go badly, but I can run lol.
From NJ, I roped for 2 yrs and I've been cutting in the bucket truck for about 8 months now. I learned and use some of your techniques when felling the stick!
You are a very Professional Logger my Friend. I got out in the Woodyard yesterday and Finally Started Cutting up my Logs. Only allowed 2hours a Day every other Day. Today I am Mowing the Backyards. I am just doing it, as every day to get it done. Maybe not Cutting but at least getting Mobile again. I used my 260pro yesterday, what a Dream with the Way it cuts, and Stays Sharper with the Way you gave a Video on Sharpening it. Keep up you great Video's my Friend and see you at the Next One. Ron From the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
I am from southern Ohio and I have never seen someone handle a saw as well as you. There are some of these guys on RU-vid that constantly have the camera on their face as if we need to see that. They clickbait their titles and make some goofy face to get us to watch their video. These people are complete narcissists and I can’t stand to watch their content. You have the best channel for content in my opinion. Fine work!
Thank you for talking about the difference in the species of trees and how the requirements change. I cut mostly pine for fire wood. Way different than what you do.
I use pine myself when my preferred hardwoods aren’t available. I even use Sweetgum but when that stuff is green you mostly have to chainsaw split unless you’ve got a VERY good hydraulic splitter. Pine burns hot but doesn’t last. Oh well, it’s better than being COLD 🥶
@@Good.Fellers BTW, I’m in central Arkansas. I commented on what I think is your last video or short (I don’t remember which) and I’m a little more specific.
Dude I’m from the Navajo Nation and we cut a lot of piñon,pine,ciders”junipers,oak. I like how u explain and show us, our trees arnt as big except the pine, so when u take those big ass trees down using ur jump cut shits awesome
Nice job on the video! You have good content that is well presented and you don't draw it out. I've learned a lot about tree cutting from videos like this and I appreciate you showing practical approachs that are starkly different from most of the west coast based tree cutting content on RU-vid. I'm watching from Wisconsin btw.
I'm from NE Tennessee and I will say that my experience with a 395 is it's a strong wood tool but I believe a 390 is a good beast as well. Most saws of that size comes down to the chain
Nice video man. This feller knows what he’s talkin about folks. Although i have to say i would be up for a competition of the prettiest slickest biggest coolest white oak jump cut video ever. Because I too, am a midwestern hardwood hard-nosed back bar’in roundabout table toppin log cutter.🤟 love from southern Illinois.
I've NEVER seen a 'jump cut' or a 'spur cut' before! All the other fallers like to be able to aim the tree, it seems. Beautifully done, though! (I'm in York, UK)
Shenandoah Valley Virginia, my property is mostly oak ; red,white, chestnut, black, and then black walnut, sycamore, hickory and box elder, a few beech
That jump cut was perfect. We have a lot of leaners and the jump cut is great for them. The only thing I have started doing is trimming the buttress roots on the heavy side before releasing the trigger. Had a few that pealed when the root caught the stump when sliding back. Do you trim your stump tabs down when you spur cut?
@@Good.Fellers hey thanks. Doing great. Wish i could join you on that big walnut job. Keep it safe out there. Thank you again for another fantastic video!!! Love them spur cuts!
Midwest here in the Arbor state. 592 is my next saw purchase, I love the 572, 550mk2 and T540mk3 all for their particular uses but I want the big bastard power! Thanks for another good video feller!
Great cutting & some beautiful logs as always ! I`m in the 70cc category, gets the work done for me, but would like to try the 90cc tho. Watching & learning from Serbia. Thanx again for sharing ! P.S. Love that T-shirt !
NE Kansas here, although I'm in California right now working. But as for what you do for the felling of your trees, if you know what to expect and how to make it work for what you need then it's the correct way to cut it. I typically do a standard notch with a back cut to the hinge. But if I need to make the tree do something other than have gravity pull it over, then other tools in the toolbox of knowledge is a necessary. The more a guy knows about the processes, the better and safer he is!
Excellent video :) Thank you for building this and sharing :) And BTW, even though I'm an old fart, I have a 585 and 395. I prefer the 395. Easy power.
@@Good.Fellers 585 is on the same chassis as 592 but has a little less displacement and a conventional carburetor vs. the autotune system. I'll eventually bolt on the 592 top end for kicksas that's what I do but in reality the 585 works really well as is.
I like using an aggressive chain so applying the right amount of pressure prevents the chain from jumping. For inexperienced choppers, filing the rakers too low is dangerous! Excellent tutorial - do you salvage the tops?
Yes thats correct. the whole process of working with firewood makes the chain come off before your eyes. the saw doesn't have a vacation. and the costs are gigantic because fuel and oil burn in large quantities every week. I know people who burn up to 100 liters a week
My saw collection is a 550xp, 372 x torque and a 385xp and my wife bought me a stihl ms 461 a couple years ago used for a birthday gift not sure what she was thinking! Its actually a pretty nice saw tho! It can't hang with the 372 or the 385 but I've heard that they really wake up with port work. I do a mix of tree work and small logging jobs and we have a pretty broad variety of hard and softwood trees here in N.H, but id really like a 592 for my next saw!
It is funny when people do not understand these cuts. I have been working pine for a while now and do not need the jump cut or spur that often. I am in Northern WI and on Ash , oak, hard maple I will use them . When I was a kid we logged in Kentucky and you had to use it there because the wood was so splitty compared to here.. Every region has a different need and you are correct , a lot of tools in your box is a good thing , the more you know is always good. Thanks for the video , I do enjoy them.
I’ve fired a lot of guys that went to sorensons classes and started calling themselves timber cutters. You want to get good at cutting timber get a job working for someone that knows what you want to know and copy him.
Without some form of relief/ undercut.. do you run into barberchair issues when cuttin ?? Why not cut above the swell of the butt ?? Is the sawmill payin for that extra foot and a half? Wondering on how Yall get $$ You scale your logs in the woods ? At the mill? Or just gettin $$ per tree? I’d like to know?!!
I’m from downtown VimyRidge Arkansas (actually in Alexander because of the zip code, but it’s really it’s own little community) which is east of Bryant but SW of Little Rock. Hopefully that helps you know WHO and WHERE you’re responding to. Unfortunately I’m in Loblolly Pine country. 😢
@@Good.Fellers it’s a great area for nature and most folks don’t understand that we’ve got a TON of national forest in my state. I love it, but I’ve never lived in another state. I’ve visited about 20 of them, but I’ve not had the “proper” opportunity to really get an adequate feel except for a few parts of Texas. It’s just to hot there, but the relative humidity compared to my state makes up for it.
I've never seen a flatcutt fall to the ground without a major problem, but I personally think it's better not to do that because it can really mess things up
