I've seen this video when I was looking for a method to wedge smaller trees. A lot of the trees I take down are too small to have the bar in the cut and wedges in simultaneously I haven't tried this method yet but it looks like it works well. Don't think id be grabbing my face cut wedge off a running saw's bar though
I take a lot down and that's gonna be useful. I can't figure out why he's gotta brush the cut out though... I keep my hands out......
Not sure, I've had my finger tips crushed in things enough times now to avoid putting them places that could potentially cause me great pain PSA: watch where your fingers are when running a splitter or chipper
PSA: watch where your fingers are when running a splitter or chipper Bet their is a story or 2 there..................................
Long story short: I sandwiched my finger between a split and the steel backing plate behind the splitter wedge. 30 tons of pressure pops your fingernail off real easy As for the chipper, I was feeding in a ~8" log that was cut at an angle. I fed it with the corner of that angle "up" not "down" (the proper and safe way). The log popped up when the rollers grabbed it and crushed my finger against the chute. Also removed the fingernail and split my finger open pretty good Anyways, my nails have grown back and all is well. Now if only I could find some steel fingered gloves.... Sorry pete
I saw this used on some palms in my mother's yard about 3 years ago. The tree guy said it was quite common to use on palm trees, but he didn't know if it would work on "real" trees. (his words) He said neither he or any of the guys he worked with used it an pine or Florida oak.
Works good on a felled tree that is laying across a hillside. Cut a tongue and groove in it to sever logs from the top and it stays put ,,,,,and keeps the skidder jockey happy.
