How I Cut Down Big Trees w Short Bar Double Cut

Cutting a large old growth white fir that is too big for my bar. The 32 inch bar on my chainsaw is not long enough to go through this tree. I show an easy way to double cut a large tree with a short bar. There are several techniques for doing this, I think this one is the most simple. The chainsaw is a Stihl MS462 with square filed full skip chain.

Thanks from us mortals that are NOT Buckin Billy standard
Great camera work

[elizaehrlich]

Done! Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Kinda giving me Bob Ross of treework vibes.

[KevinTownsend-hwih]

You are far better at explaining than Buckin Billy Ray. Love the videos and how you care for your property.

[johnthompson]

I love the sense of humor. Should do stand-up as a sideline !!

Great video, better job explaining this than a thousand others that never show anything that isn't perfect.

You hit on a great point that most people don’t want to admit.” This is one way to do it!” There are so many ways to fall trees. I agreed with most of what you said. And yes even for another west coaster that stump was a little high. But I understand the reasoning. My old man would make me cut it off if I left one that high.

And thats how you drop a saw off a stump! So glad you didn’t edit that out. Much better content than bbr

Wilson, you know when we were kids we'd say that's cool. We were young hadn't lived much so everything was cool. Well sir that is cool, wish I was there to say it!

[joefran]

The peace and quiet there must be very nice!

Piss fir as it's been referred for
many years around here.
Great video... buckin has nothing over you. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks

[jefff]

Great job.
Thanks for taking the time to create all your very entertaining and informative videos. 👍

Your 32" bar/saw was working overtime on this one!

This has got to be one of the best instructional tree cutting videos. So great to see this level of detail and patience - thanks for posting and sharing. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸

Just encountered this identical problem with a 34" oak here in North Carolina that I fell with a 25" bar. My approach was almost identical to yours. My tree ended up falling exactly where I wanted it with minimal collateral damage. I am not nearly as experienced as you, so nice to see some confirmation of my technique!

Amazing - Really Interesting - with a hint of humour. Thank You.

Subscribed because you referenced Buckin' Billy Ray twice. That man has saved me. Anyone who's an admirer of his is worthy of subscription. Preach on, Brother!

Always fun to hear them pop and drop!!!

[woodworker]

That was fun to watch. Thanks for the pleasure of hearing that big thump. Loved it.

[ejsocci]

Thanks for sharing your experience and your great videos.

I’m learning so much from watching your videos, thanks from Wales 👌
