When you make first cut on the stump, it will lean on the log and causing it to pinch in every cut you make. Really aggravating. Just a suggestion; Next time make the first cut near the stump only half way through (like you are doing already) but don't do the undercut just yet. Measure next log and cut half way, measure next and cut halfway until you are on last cut on the top, then cut that all the way through. Then go back and cut the rest of them using undercut starting from end so the final cut will be the one next to the stump. This way stump is not causing it to pinch and it also holds log higher and leaves a little space under the log, so you can do undercut without running the chain in the dirt. Downside is that you need to walk from bottom to end and back with every tree trunk, but cutting is so much easier, total time used is faster and risk of dulling the chain on dirt decreases dramatically.
yeah that makes sense, only problem is if I dont cut the stump off first, I cant tell if the log is hollow, therefore I will measure it for a sawlog but only discover it is rotten at the end. I do it this way so if its rotten I can just cut off a couple feet till its good then measure off that.
Oh right, I didn't think of that. Now if there was someone with the excavator to lift stumps and logs off as soon as they are cut... ;) But sometimes when working only by yourself, you need to deal with it. And you are very good at that!
yeah i didnt watch the whole thing, i like the operating more than the talking half the time haha. i end up skipping around the videos most of the time.
The pond is for irrigation of a 96 acre farm. Not for fishing 🐟...yet. you have to let the ecology set itself up first before introducing aquatic life to make sure it's sustainable.
Chris, what model saw are you running? Point of view angle is nice! Is it just a head mount for a GoPro or did you get an entire different camera? Thanks.
I hand file mine right out of the box as they sometimes aren't as sharp as you would expect to start with...the few minutes it takes to polish em up is more than made up for by how much faster/easier it cuts...I'm no logger, but run a Farm Boss w/ a 20" bar when i need to...it runs an 18" much better, it really doesn't have the power to run the 20" like it should...
Thank you for not being annoying like some other channels.
I just try to be myself and take everyone else along for the ride!
Still would surely support Chris in demonstrating his saw skills.
Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day
Nice work! Lovin the head cam. Look to be making good progress
You know...nothing better than to lay a few logs on a Monday morning! Nice camera work dude !
That saw is workin' the piss out of him lol. Looks hot out there too ChrissyPoo. Stay safe buddy.
Clearing trees again Chris nice 👌👍
Thank you Chris for the video, and i like the Hat Cam 🖒
been waiting to see a video from you about cutting trees you cleared.! 👍👍
Like the video Chris awesome Machine that 250 Volvo exc.
Another great video
Thanks for the video.

When you tie the dam into that existing bank, will you key the bank so you don't get a straight soil line that could be a potentialleak point?
Nothing like laying some morning wood on a Monday!
The olé chainsaw is the sound of making money nice job Chris
Stevie’s gonna learn today!
Looks like a good day's work
Way better with that camera
Chris its a lot easier Bush hogging lol great video again .
Nice logs! ....13
logger wade would be proud of them chainsaw skills
Why worry about trees stumps where there is going to be 10-15’ of water on top of them?
in the future when you want to dredge the pond or need to do work on it for whatever reason they wont be in the way , my 2cents
I believe he said the dam was going to be right there.
ah that makes sense, idk though i would think if the stumps were buried theyll make big sink holes later when they decompose ?
He removed the stumps and most of the roots. He also said they'll get the rest later. Wood is not the best thing to place a dam on.
yeah i didnt watch the whole thing, i like the operating more than the talking half the time haha. i end up skipping around the videos most of the time.
Would love a video of when you decide to burn that brush
Those stumps will make good fish cover down in the bottom of the pond. That is if you can not get them to burn away.
The pond is for irrigation of a 96 acre farm. Not for fishing 🐟...yet. you have to let the ecology set itself up first before introducing aquatic life to make sure it's sustainable.
Did you trade the 220 in for the new machine or is it just taking a breather?
What type of chain do you use on your chain saw?
whats your excavator model? good job btw
The video camera works great
Wade needs to show you how to cut logs for grade!!!
Keep it up and you'll be giving some of these other loggers on TH-cam that I can think of a run for their money. Haha
Not right seeing you use a chainsaw without Zach and Justin laughing in the background.
HughzieTube , Chris is better with the saw than Logger Wade is at installing culvert pipe.
Brian Webber true that.
Chris, what model saw are you running? Point of view angle is nice! Is it just a head mount for a GoPro or did you get an entire different camera? Thanks.
JasonWorksAlot it’s a ms361 or 362 non m tronic
FishFind3000 oh thanks, seemed bigger than that. I run a 362 personally, would like something larger.
JasonWorksAlot I bet you would 😉😂
I'm gonna say it's a ms361 because the 362 is a pro saw and has a black line on the top cover and that one did not.
JasonWorksAlot Chris is using a 391.
Boy Chris you should get logger wade to come and sharpen your saw
What camera are you wearing? Sorry if you mentioned it earlier.
go pro
Buck with a wedge, may help you out some?
Just using a little stick works when you are in a pinch with no wedge. No pun intended. Ha use the stick before the pinch
the camera work is better but is your sawing technique logger wade approved? :)
👌🏽☺️
When should I bring the hotdogs and beer 🔥🤣🤣
You can sleep when you’re dead!
So you out there sawing in socks? Did you even show up with shoes on?
He don't need no stinking shoes. LOL
You should try the head mount in the cab and see how it works👍🏼
If he can’t do it give Stevie a call
When are you gonna set all that on fire?
It has to be raining when the piles are burned, everything is too dry now, there is a good chance fires now would set other people's woods on fire.
WHERE IN THE WORLD DID U GET THAT CHAINSAW? WE CUT A LOT OF LOGS AND THAT SAW IS WEARING YOU OUT! THROW IT AWAY
Your saw needs a bit of sharpening, but since your not a woodcutter we will cut ya bit of slack....lmbo😉
its a brand new blade out of the box, its sharp lol might need a bigger saw to turn it
letsdig18 you should invest in a 462 or a 661 also dirt doesn’t help.
I hand file mine right out of the box as they sometimes aren't as sharp as you would expect to start with...the few minutes it takes to polish em up is more than made up for by how much faster/easier it cuts...I'm no logger, but run a Farm Boss w/ a 20" bar when i need to...it runs an 18" much better, it really doesn't have the power to run the 20" like it should...
@@NCSUME1 this is a 391. Decent size saw
Hey Chris did you just get a haircut if you did it looks good
The head cam is great. You need an outro Chris, the video just cutting off makes me sad lol. p.s 4k ;)
i took a video in 2070K over the weekend and it about killed my computer downloading it LOL
RIP that idea then. lol. Cheers anyway.
Just set the camera in 1920 x 1080. No need for anything higher res. It's not like you're trying to impress George Lucas.
You need to get Steve B to hot rod that saw!
kb7722 or hotsaws101
You should get a proper professional saw mate you run the best equipment why not run the best saws too
Sounds like that stihl needs some help..... husky cuts better....
hey junior your chainsaw skills are questionable
I run excavator, wing the rest
letsdig18 they get the job done that’s all that matters
