Don't keep Felling the wrong way

gimpy · September 30, 2016, 05:48:50 PM

I feel it is only right that every member here should always try to correct wrong. Especially when it comes to so-called profession feller trying to teach us morons how it's done. I'm a bit unhappy that you haven't shared this tidbit before. Why do I have to?

So any fellers that need re-training, this might help? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

This guy does spew a lot of misinformation. If I say any more, I may get a trip to the woodshed. :

It's a wonder he didn't eat that metal plate

Why did the first guy waste three feet of butt wood. Why would he endanger his truck thats right behind the tree he's felling. Was his assistant operating the drone. Your fired.

That is brutal to watch.. :'( :'(

??? He is proud of that?

I believe I would of kept chopping at the tree like a beaver with that axe and taken my chances running the other way then messing with all that, but to each there own. I've watched a lot of his videos and there is some good ones.

I used to think wronglerstar made a few interesting videos, but I had to stop watching him butcher things. From good tools to nice wood.

He does spew allot of misinformation with MUCH confidence. :embarassed:

He's an idiot. I've watched a few of his videos and there is nothing to take from them other than he thinks he has learned a lot from watching other people's videos. He asking for that jack to spit out at him.

He may be an idiot, but it looked like a good idea with the bottle jack. Why he would want to use an axe, though, now that's the real issue.

My dad always cut his trees off pretty high so he could get leverage on the stumps with the bulldozer.

He was pretty confident of his success, parking his truck behind, like that. The big problem with what he did is the unspoken assumption it will always work-- lean that tree backward five degrees and you might be in some heap big trouble.

I don't see why a bottle jack needs to go to the timber. Unless skidder gets a flat.... I hardly ever use wedges let alone a jack.

"Now's not the time to hurry. Don't want to break your hinge wood" I think was my favorite part.

At times when others might be getting nervous or overexcited it is settling to be able to fall back on a wealth of experience.

If he really didn't want to break his hinge wood, Don't make the notch so deep that it forces you to put the jack right up smack behind the back of the hinge. That's just someoen who plain doesn't understand leverage.

I like in his commentary he mentioned getting death threats...too funny!! Who would wanna bring that guy harm? Dude is a weirdo but probably nice as all get out.

I would like to see him try that on a bigger tree with a hinge that thick...spent too much time, waaaay too complacent and relaxed. Tells me he hasn't barber chaired one yet or had one come over at him.

Well, he spent all his money on the drone and a chainsaw is too much money now. :D

John Mc · October 01, 2016, 08:33:50 PM

I assumed the demonstration was to do it without power tools.

RayMO · October 01, 2016, 09:21:36 PM

I think he must make money every time his videos are watched . I see no other reason to share your stupidity with all the world lol

AlexHart · October 01, 2016, 09:53:43 PM

If I had all the stupid moves I've made on video and people paid to watch them I'd be doing quite well.

Me too, I think that's how they made "I love Lucy" ;D

gimpy · October 03, 2016, 05:36:06 PM

Ah, come on guys. No time for entertainment? Yes, it's about doing it without power. What I didn't share was that the previous video was the start of this adventure. He was using his Ranch (Hi-Lift) jack. He broke the foot plate on it so he came back with the bottle jack.

Come on guys. Just admit you've been doing it wrong all these years and let's move on. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I subscribe to his channel.
