felled this pine on a pile of brush, cut about 5' high and caught it to save the bushes.

Dropped 11 dead ash trees today. My personal Ash record. Finish clean up tomorrow.

@Bigdog12 the sizwheel is a finicky one that doesn't always seem to engage, but I've noticed the closer it aligns to the slope of grain the better result.

Yeah in this case it didn't seem to do much, I'll keep that in mind for next time and for when sizwheel is genuinely needed

Yes, a siz needs to be a continuation of the face of the hinge, like a deeper European trench cut.

Sometimes you get lucky. I did that on a big ficus once.

A job on an 'outer island', aka not ferry-served, so you need to take a private barge to get equipment there. My buddy is doing the sitework for a new house build, so I agreed to do the tree work needed to put in the driveway. A simple project, just climb and remove a few firs, chip the brush, haul away the logs. The biggest issue on these jobs of course is logistics, so I brought over my 'backup/b-team' chipper in case it got stuck over there longer than planned. Everything worked out as expected, but that isn't always the case. Went over on the barge with the equipment, returned in a private boat the same afternoon and the chipper was barged back the next day.

Had to shave the trunk flare with the grinder all the way around.

So y'all know, Insta won't even let me watch it once without signing up, which they used to until recently.

Cut from a step ladder

I made four climbs to get all the lower limbs off this black cherry before dropping it between two pines with no damage to either one.

Cutting it into pieces I could move with the hand truck took a while. Thankfully, a guy half again my size showed up and tossed them in his truck to use as firewood.
