You young guys make this hard work look so easy. The chain saw is making fast work of removing unwanted growth, soon it will be an open view and useful property. I love watching your videos,
Entertaining vid. Just a quick tip, I’m no pro, but always ensure your back cut is above the bottom of the face cut by approximately 2 inches. If you make a steeper face cut, say 70 degrees, it will help the tree fall all the way to the ground. Also you never wanna cut through your hinge wood. Ik they are just small trees, but for future reference.
Lally Life no problem, I’m still very much in the learning stages myself. Always good to share knowledge- Ik it’s a personal choice, but consider investing in some chaps and a helmet, small price to pay for the possible difference of life or death
what tells you when to fell a tree and when to dig one out with an excavator? I am getting ready to clear some land and I don't know which option is best... Some of the area will have a road built (dirt/rock) and other areas will be left as a pasture.
If you’re clearing a bunch of land an excavator would help a lot. But if you’re renting it then definitely get as much done with a chainsaw that you can. We’re using chainsaw and our tractor with a grapple attachment right now until we ready to get a excavator out here our selves. if you’re worried about stumps then I would cut them move the wood you’ll be saving then rip the stumps out. Or...leave them and flush cut them to the ground. For roads I.e asphalting? I would rip them out all the way. But road as in a trail flush cut them. Over time them will break down and add nutrients back to the ground.
@@lallylife8545 you just answered so many questions I didn't even ask, thank guy so much for the reply! Great video and amazing reply, you're very intuitive.
This is the only time.i dont like using my 550.i feel a older carb saw is better for this on and off quick cutting since they dont auto tune them selves
I'm watching from Washington state-PNW 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Wear protective gear
No PPE to be seen. What were you thinking?

Thanks, that video was about 2-3months ago. A lot has changed and a lot has been learned since then.
Especially what you just stated.
Thanks!

I'm also not a pro! Great vid. Back cut should be aligned with bottom of the face, I think.
I saw you rubbing your eye….where,’s your safety equipment?

What size blade is on your saw?
Safety Goggles

You dull your blade everything you touch the soil with it.
Have you heard about safety equipment?
The real crappy part comes after the trees are on the ground. Takes forever :(
Absolutely! Then if you want to mill them it’s more and more work.
usualy i do all the branch clearing that i can do while the tree still stands...i find it a bit faster
@@mendebilul7950 makes good sense!
@lallylife8545 what is milling ?
face protection...
PPE boy ? Got insurance ? Had any mil training ? No. Know what the F a chain brake is ? Bad TH-cam. Hat on backwards is cool ?
