Felling a hung up tree – safety first

In part 3 David Rossney makes chainsaw cuts to a tree so it falls where he wants. He also deals with a common problem, a "hung up" tree, where the surrounding trees stop it falling as planned. http://woodlands.co.uk

Its nice to see some one than KNOWS what hes talking about !!
A buddy of mine got killed about 20 years ago,cutting a tree that he had just previously fell and got hung up. He never came back home and his girlfriend went out to where he was cutting and found him..Ever since that , when I'm out cutting firewood and see one,I just leave it alone..After these fine vids, I will try that next time.. Good vid
Thank you for the great vid!
Yeah, but it's the little ones that kill people. The big ones are scary, so the faller is careful. The little ones entice people to get casual and take shortcuts, kerf cutting, domino falling, etc..
sorry to hear about your mate but you should never leave a hung up tree and if you do ensure you put tape up or something to prevent people walking under it
Bloody well dun! I learned something here. Will use this on the job, thanks
What's with the goofy utility belt and shit? This guy's got all the bells and whistles, but it took him all day to drop that little puke of a tree. My boss would lose it on me if it took me that long to get rid of that little doinker.
Think a few are missing the point of the video. Why are people always so bloody negative.
if you learned something here, you maybe shouldn't be cutting trees just yet
it called a felling leaver they come in two sizes small and large this guy has the large one you can buy them from any large forrestry supplier or any good arb shop. BS Bennets in tavistock in devon will post them to you should be about £35- 40 for the large one I hope this helps Brian from derbyshire tree services
