This guy can chuck wood!

He cut and chucked 4 sections of trunk in less than 2 minutes, (1:43 exactly), less than 30 seconds a piece... Figuring they were about 1' each, he's taking 8' sections in under 3.5 minutes.. seems reasonably fast given the alternative situation, which is riggin over a house/deck..

However his one handing everything for the entire top is bound to get the safety police busy around here..if not getting cut, then at least the repetitive motion on his wrists has got to be taking a toll..
 
I'd give 5 stars out of 5 if he snap cut everything.

I'm with you Jamin', he did need to be doing the one handing. I was wondering if that tree behind him in most shots would've served for a zip line?
 
Thats why my shoulders are a mess. Guy's super talented. My thought was crane- three picks maybe 1.5 hours with set up and breakdown and then onto the next three jobs.
 
He can chuck wood indeed!!!

Just to NOTE: I noticed he mentioned that he didn't have his rigging gear with him that day.

I've been through this a time or two before... it seems to happen when you don't have a trusting/trained groundsman with you as well. Sometimes that day it may be more logical, more safe, and more time efficient to just get it done yourself. - IT MAY also happen after you buy a new climbing saw or spent some time hand filing your chain the night before.

I love using the snap cut too, because you have your hands on the block, chainsaw put away, before it's broken from the tree. It also shows that you are able to cut wood from trees with even more control all by yourself.

Crane would be perfect but they may run around $300 to show up and lift wood. If the homeowner doesn't want any other tree work it may not work out. Great video, great find, thanks for posting. I need to relax now.
 
I clocked a maple spar coming down yesterday.. Block was set overhead in an ash. so without moving the block it took 9 minutes for the first 5 cuts (4-5' each), from the bucket.. I was moving with velocity, eliminating any wasted seconds.. the next two cuts were over 22", took 8 minutes.. I took my time on them.. so altogether 7 cuts in 17 minutes..

So I bet you could make 14 cuts in under 34 minutes if you were really trying. I think I am going to start using this equation in my sales shenanigans.
