- Being able to get a big back leaning tree to the lay in one cut is a valuable skill that gives the faller a competitive advantage over those who might need a crane to get the job done, while preventing the need to put a climber in harm's way. This video provides clear and practical knowledge that breaks the theory of pulling back leaning trees into organized steps and shows many examples from real jobs of the application of the skills needed to get the job done safely.
just want to say we appreciate the proven knowledge . this has got to be the best most complete in accuracy of all videos on youtube and Google period. I own and operate Dave the tree guy tree care in Washington state . and this kind of information is priceless. thank u
Very few are willing to show things that go wrong in this line of work. Appreciate your honest take on the good and the bad of pulling over ‘leaners.’ Great video.
This is an A+ video for beginners all the way to a professional reminder.. Thank you, I’m doing a group by our power lines as we speak.. Remember you are never too old or experienced to learn something if you don’t let your pride get in the way
thanks daniel. i dont have the luxury of having a mentor. so these videos are life saving.
I have felled enough trees now that I know there are many variables to taking down a tree safely AND have it fall where you want it to. No one knows everything. There are general rules to follow and you have to allow for changes. I found your videos had alot of value in that you showed all the things that you should thinking about, not just the basics.
I've seen about a dozen you tubes on this topic and this by far is the most comprehensive of them all. Your clients are very lucky to have you do their work
Very interesting, professional, no-nonsense presentation. Thank you!
I have a leaner and found this great video that gives many examples and pull scenarios. Thankyou, I now have the information to remove this tree safely and confidently.
This is best video I found on how and where to cut on the tree. The other videos I saw were useless because they did not show how and where to cut. They only showed the tree falling from a distance which was a waste of time for the maker of the video and the viewer.
I need to watch this video again....and again. Thank you so much for the time invested into this fine video, that back lean that broke at the ground really something, high forces. . Thank you Sir. Hello from Alaska
Now I'm deciding between becoming a local tree chopper, or local woodworker. This video is so straightforward, honest, and helpful that I'm considering charging for/practicing with small trees just to be able to cut down a 80 foot trees that's leaning towards my house, and cracking! Thank you so much for the video!
I'll add my thanks. Clear and careful instructions and you're not afraid to show your mistakes. Love the little graphics you included.
Incredible detail you've gone into in how to safely deal with and approach back leaners. You made it visually clear to understand and better knowing how to apply these principles. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the tips Dan! I have to cut down probably 6-10 trees by my power lines this week. I have my rope, a come-a-long and my truck with a winch! I will use two lines on each tree like you said. Wish me luck! They are much smaller trees than the ones you worked on here.
Great video. Most people don't realize how much there is to felling a tree especially when you're going against the lean. I've cut down several trees on my property and its still a learning process for me. I'm getting ready to cut down one closer to my house than i like but it's not that big and no lean so it should be easy to pull away with a vehicle.
I did my own cutting of a back leaning tree. I did not have sufficient tension on the pull rope, so when I did the back cut, the tree barber chaired and came down in the direction I did not want the tree to go. .fortunately, there was nothing on the neighbors property that was damaged and the barber chair occurred slowly enough that I was able to get away safely.
I ve been climbin and cuttin 25yrs now done lots of this stuff, actually pulled a large cedar top with sidelean in the wind yesterday. Im confident in my ability but its always sketchy sometimes to the point of just standin there for a few just to be thankful it worked! Nice work good good info, We appreciate your time and effort to show how you make it happen.
25 yrs. in, 37 backers, 36 successful, only had one go bad same as you, new operator!!
Never been game enough to drop aback leaner but after watching this video, I understand the principles behind a successful fall. Many thanks guys!
I liked your video very much! It’s good to see someone humble enough to show not only the successful pullovers but the near misses as well. The fact that you took the time to explain why trees react the way they do is insightful and people can learn a lot from this video if they listen. Species dependent is so very true!! Thank you and well done!
