No, not certain, I think there is bigger out there.

Can’t see why not, just be careful not to cut the umbilical cord. Rip into it and enjoy, oh and don’t forget to post a video. 😉

​@@SeriousSchittThanks. How important are, next to eye and hearing protection, those special pants that jam a chainsaw when you accidentally cut your leg? Should I get those or a bit overkill?

Also, at 8:50 u seem to cut off all th green and are down to the bare wood. I was told if i do this, the hedge will never green there again. Is that untrue?

@@Stoffendous You are better off being overkill than finding out the hard way, by doing damage to your body. Always use PPE regardless if its petrol, electric or cordless. We all can get careless, complacent or even something; a branch or obstacle out of nowhere could fling the chainsaw somewhere to your body.

@@Stoffendous Most cases that is true. Other cases, some plants respond to a full hack and can re-grow in a matter of months. This is dependent on the plant and what time of the season you are cutting it too. Most plants prefer during dormancy; while others prefer after the cold frost period has ended during spring to stimulate growth.

Thanks Bart.

Hi Glenn, It's just to get the log off the ground to try and save hitting the dirt with the chain. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

If that was the case here, I’d be pulling it out and putting a tin fence up. This property is right next door to the home in which we live, and it had a wealth of trees which I removed for that very reason, all you heard was chirp, chirp, chirp in a morning, now it’s serene. Thanks for your comment.

@@SeriousSchitt The natural world can be such a pain in the ass, can't it? People like yourself are fortunately a very small minority. If we're sent into this existence to learn lessons, as I believe we are, then you have a hell of a lot of class time to make up...

@@tonymcguinness3886 well accidents do happen, also illness hits. He seems to be obsessed with proving his power over nature, but nature will have the last laugh, and he will be tormented by birdsong for evermore. The hedge was an eyesore even two years later.

I live in Europe and this isn’t the case.

@@upover I live in the UK, and I can assure you that you are not allowed to cut between March and October. Do you consider the UK to be in Europe?

True, but I get greater pleasure in burning it, I assure you. Thanks for watching.

No worries.

Thanks Dude, I hope you enjoyed the vid.

Thanks mate, really enjoy the big wood. Like to see your splitter again in action.

Haha, if I did that, sometimes you’d be looking at up to $500 to $600 per metre. I’ve just got to write the labour portion off. What’s a ‘ripping chain’? I use Stihl Rapid Super chains.

Hi Richard, thanks for your comment. Yes, we all cut at our own level. The latest Macros that I came across, I saw lying there waiting to be burnt and buried. Because most people won’t tackle this type of wood and I can’t bear to see it wasted, I get into it. The latest videos (due to be released soon) are of Old Man Pine. Take care.

Um, it’s nearer a Cypress than anything else, I think? Definitely not Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus is more of the Blue Gum variety. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks again for your comments and compliments Glenn. Look, I was very happy taking these blocks home, all cut up, I can tell you, providing much needed warmth for winters to come. Yep, different camera angles to try and break up the monotony, adds to the dynamics of the thing I suppose? East Coast of the South Island is where I’m based. Thanks

@@SeriousSchitt Interesting as to where you are. I've been in Perth for over 40yrs now but originally from Timaru - almost neighbors!

Hi Charles, you ruined yourself after cutting one tree? I'm sorry to hear that cobba, I do hope you recover soon. It sounds like you've got the right gear for processing these trunks though, with that line up of saws. Yes it is quite involved but I like to come back with a trailer load (1.25 cord) every time though. I've just rendered another one over Christmas, so I put that video up also. Thanks for your comment and take care of yourself.

Thanks mate, welcome aboard.

Do you also have a wood saw in your place?

Thanks for your comment.

'That you have' Matt, I'm pleased you're liking them. I have around 2 or 3 videos in the pipe, with the last one I finished videoing today, I just have to edit it out when I can, then that'll be the end of this series of forestry videos for a couple more years as I have no more space at home to store my spoils. Have you got that 881 yet?

Thanks again for your comment. I do hear what you're saying, and I do enjoy trying to answer people's questions where I can. Some videos I put out seem to be a bit more popular than others (in the comments department) however I've always sort of had that effect on people, being more of a conversation/show 'stopper' rather than a conversation/show starter. I guess its just something one learns to live with over the years. And, of course, there's always every so often a person like yourself that understands and appreciates what I do which more than makes up for it, so welcome aboard. You've got a good set up with your 661, which I believe to be the modern day version of the 066, and with what you've got, and a little perseverance, you'd be able to tackle any tree that I've ever hacked into. My first one was done using my 066 with a 25" bar, my mate had a 28" bar on both his saws, I only bought the 30"er when I got real close to the buttress.

Hi Glenn, thanks for your question and thanks for watching the video, I’m pleased you enjoyed it. It’s a 47” bar with a Full Comp Rapid Super 404 chain. Hope this helps.

Yeah sorry mate, still working on it. Will let you know as soon as she’s available, probably this weekend sometime. Thanks.

Try this, thanks. th-cam.com/video/lCbBd_mHeBY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MJ0LztvCofzxbTEz

Absolutely, and I had a whopping bar too in order to do just that. I guess I just had my mind on other things… caught me off guard.

@@SeriousSchitt it’s happened to me before I understand

There was actually no need as it was never binding.

Yes I do. Dude, FFS tell your better half that I said you’re to get an 881 this Christmas, with a 5’ bar, even if it’s for nothing more than to adorn the duchess of the boudoir. “Every man needs an 881!”

How so Peg?

That’s where it originated from!
