Textbook demonstration of felling in the woods. I especially like how much distance between yourself and the tree for those final snips.. Good job as always.
I’m a game of logging instructor and I agree…though I think he had enough bar that he didn’t need to bore in through the notch…however, he did it safe and as far as at the stump he did everything as you said…textbook!
TY & I'm old, get lazy and bore thru the hinge on trees like that, no fiber pull & leave just enough hinge to get the tree to go where I wanted. But prolly didn't have to do the majority of the bore from the front on the second one. Just I was getting lazy and wanted to poke thru on the sides so I could stick the bar in those thru cuts. Never miss on alignment that way. But I have a lot to learn I'm sure
@@afleetcommand your absolutely right that way does keep you level and honestly nothing wrong with it at all in my opinion…I’d like to see chaps or cut pants but again great job
That’s why I use ethanol free gas. Ethanol in cold temperatures will cause water to separate and freeze up the gas filter. I use nothing but premium, non ethanol in all of my saws and outdoor power equipment, even though it costs me about 50% more. I also add an ounce of a good stabilizer to each gallon of gas. I cranked up my 372 after it had been setting up 18 months and it cranked up on the third pull.
Probably two of the most overlooked but simplest ''fixes'' fuel filter or spark plug. Have had that very same problem you had with water/condensation freezing up filter's in the past, happens on non autotune saw's as well along with lazy spark plug's that can make saw's run like crap. Kind of nice when it turn's out to be just simple maintenance needed, take care.
Right After you put the wedge in (Close to end of video) I would have cut (More or less) down the holding flare root to meet the last of your cut. The lean was favoring notch cut as seen by the opening/yawning back cut, but you will minimize the chances pinching the bar. Many ways to do things. I Like your Videos . Thanks
Sounds like a plan, then less root flare to clean up too, just have to go back and "nip" the vertical to clean the stump would be all. I try like crazy to have flat stumps as low as I can as some times I have to drive over them. Often do on jobs like this one. So u a proponent of "spur" cuts? I was thinking of mixing them in the next couple of trees to see :) And thank you for adding a little wisdom & idea's into the conversation :)
Wish I could edit my comment, I got a different perspective when I got to see the whole video For some reason the video skipped the first part and I started viewing late. Probably going from OPE to UTube. I learned a lot from your video.
Why? NOT an issue! Keep chiming in! I edited out some to focus on the Running of that 572 vs. the felling of the tree. Was thinking the tree evaluation as it was..... interesting up top, might be a fun one along with just let the camera roll on the felling . I was testing the saw on the second tree. Weather changed again and chased me out of the woods.
Cheapest suspected fix first. P.S. get rid if that west coast handle. I have a husky dealer near me in nwest wisconsin who had his husky rep drop off 10 of those westcoast top handles asked him to TRY and get rid of them.😂. Apparently someone overproduced them.
I'll either just use that saw for playing around and work with the 565, or I will build a "Stock" 572. Actually the next saw I want to build is a 390 New OEM Block with a frame crank & NOS OEM 385 top end. See how that fits into this job.
It actually was pretty sharp, just hard freak wood. Frozen sugar maple. I did a subsequent video where I put that bar & chain into the fire wood pile, it cut like a low use chain should....fast with nice chips. That wood is HARD , can't explain to folks just have to show it from time to time.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, please don't be a stranger to these conversations. :)
So the saw surging was repaired by the saw surgeon, cheers from NZ.

Good video!! Have you heard anything on a new Husqvarna 80cc saw they are supposedly working on? Thanks
Not yet
You don't use those fancy new blue filters they say your supposed to use on the autotune saws?
nope
those fuel filters you use are they from stihl ? thanks in advance
Yes 👍

@@afleetcommandSo a 585?😁
Sure sounded better after the filter swap.
Sharp your chain!

Nice 😊 my mate!!!🤠👌👌💪💯💯🤙🤩
I got a question what does HTSS stand for ? Thank you
Hill Top Saw Shop, My hobby shop where I build saws. Now just for me.
@@afleetcommand oh ok thank you
