Yet another so-called pro posting up subpar work, then blocking comments that are less than complimentary. So much for standing behind your work and being willing to have a constructive conversation that might benefit your viewers? Fucking YouTube!!!
So a supposed reputable pro outfit shows up to pull over a couple dead Birch trees, but doesn't have a rope puller or some other system which will deliver a smooth consistent pull. OK then? Instead they rely on a couple dudes standing in the street yanking on the tagline. As the video show these boys didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing. They do a little test pull (9:18-9:40) and you can see that they get very little movement. Despite this the faller say "I think you can do it?" Way to instill some confidence bro. He then cuts a dangerously shallow undercut with a painfully dull saw, and never once sights his undercut or checks it for bypass. What was needed here was a deeper undercut which would of allowed the weight of the tree to get into its undercut earlier, and a more wide open face which would have allow the tree to further commit to its undercut before its hinge started to break. He then starts his back-cut and you can see the tree rocking back and forth (9:38-9:55). This is because the clowns on the tagline are pulling and then allowing slack back into the system. A great fucking way to break your hinge and loose a tree over backward. The poor execution of a poor game plan then forced the faller to leave the stump to help assist in the pulling of this little back-leaning Birch. When the tree begins to go over (11:18- 11:30) you can see the shallow under cut begin to close bringing the tree to a stop. They then pull harder and the undercut completely close up, breaks the remaining hinge, and the tree pulls hard to the right missing the lay of the undercut by many feet. Sheer luck prevented these amateurs from smashing something!
