- Cutting over a tree with heavy forward lean can be one of the most dangerous trees to cut over. In this video I'll demonstrate how to cut over a tree with lean. I'll be using a stihl ms 462 c-m

Smart technique! I never thought about that you could do steps like that.. Thanks man I've got a few trees on my yard that's leaning :) :)
Which model sthil it was ? Ms ?
Did you implement this technique on your leaning trees? Are you alive?
@@AlenbtgMepstoen Yeah man, we got em! The yard is tree free now. It's like my old man used to say you shouldn't have trees close trees close to a house the roots can attack plumbing or electricity
“...that are leaning.”
Thank you for getting to the point and not making this a 30 minute video.
I agree I’m a content Creator myself, and I found its key to keep videos between 10 and 15 minutes long. 😂
It was painful to watch in the first place.
That was a great technique. Boy that tree popped fast. Note to cutters....before the Arborist finished his cut....he scoped out his escape route
Thanks for pointing that out. That's a great habit!
Everything about this video confirms that he is a REAL professional at felling trees. Really liked his clear explanations
I watched six videos on this. All were longer than yours but you mentioned the overlap between the wedge cut and plunge cut which looks like the smartest and safest route. I’ll be following your directions precisely. Thank you!
Just searched for how to cut leaning trees and this was first one that popped up. Just used the the technique on a similar sized chestnut oak that had a harder lean. Worked perfectly. Thank you for posting a no nonsense to the point video
I had cut down a leaning tree yesterday ,stair step method worked perfect .keep safe out there 🙏
Technical, well executed, and even sped through the sawing. 20/10, well done.
He's wearing all the safety gear, and performed a textbook perfect fell, listen to this man!
One of those rare videos where I actually learned something that may save my life!
i'm frenchies... it's always very interesting to see working methods of Américans and Canadians in Forestry sector...!!!! we see that it is two nations of foresters...! bravo , felicitations...!
Back at ya
Yep with some trees even doing a special cut like that they will still barber chair, so in my opinion depending on the tree, you should always wrap the base with a chain or a strap
I love that you looked to see your escape route was clear, before proceeding.
Great technique, will be using that, as we have a few of trees that have leans, and a few that need felling, due to their proximity to roads and buildings.
Thanks!
Good job..but I suggest ...make sure escape path is cleared of trippers and take 3-4 steps backwards while and facing tree, set chain brake immediately after backcut is released.
Look up for widow makers and use saw as shield to potentially block.
Not good to turn back on tree and run with chain brake off.
Learned from Soren Erickson in GOL training over 30 yrs ago.
Cut many a leaner on hill sides in Wisconsin and MN.
I’ve been cutting trees 45 years never saw this method I’m impressed not doing much cutting these days but if the opportunity presents itself I will use this method
It's nice to see someone that knows what they're doing! There's far too many instructional videos out there that are plain wrong!
I've seen many many correct videos what video Are you watching
Send a link, I have yet to see shit advice on falling a leaner
Pretty stump or not. You’re still able to go home on your own two feet. Good stuff. Thanks.
The stump is gorgeous when you look at it purely in terms of function, I love seeing experienced work in action
Thanks for the video I have some bad leaning pines from a wind storm I cut one yesterday and it started going right into my back cut I just got out of the way and let it go. There was 6” of hinge wood left after it fell. This is who I found your video video knew there had to be a better way.
Thank you for sharing this video! You made it look so easy and simple! I have to cut one that looks the same. Excellent explanation step by step!
Thanks for the tip. I've never actually had a tree barber chair on me (yet) but that little clip you had in there of one that did certainly illustrates the point of how dangerous it is!
This is very helpful and educates people like me who cut large trees down on my property. Thank you.
Great job with the video and instructions and it's great to see you using proper protective gear unlike some of the cowboys we see on YT.
Best wishes from Ireland ☘☘☘
That was a nasty one for sure! But you did it like a pro! Good job. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Great tip. I’ll store it for future reference. Thanks.
Thanks for keeping it short and to the point. I have a bowed over oak tree that just died during the dry hot summer. I is on the fence line and I don't want to have to rebuild the cedar fence. My tree is slightly smaller than the one you used to demo. As an old retired shrimp boat owner I keep thinking it would make a perfect bow stem for a 30 to 40 foot boat.
How did it go for you?
That video of the barber chair effect was pretty scary. Excellent job explaining!
With heavy leaners I was taught to do an open face cut, then bore out most of the wood in the middle leaving a trigger at the back. Then quickly cut the trigger but below your bore cut. If you cut above your bore cut like in your video there's a chance your saw could go for an unexpected ride.
BINGO...trigger cut one to two inches below bore cut. Also the step down is an unnecessary step....just bore straight thru to your trigger wood. Using a wide open notch giving a little bigger percentage cut will also give you wider hinge which will hold on longer. Now if the tree is dead yeah I can see using a stepped back cut since there may not be a viable hinge....but hey what do I know lol
Very good job on a potentially extremely dangerous tree.
Even when it fell it still gave off a nasty bounce. 😉👍
Thank you for the awesome video! Used the step method today and worked great!!
Very cool. We have several hard leaners on some property we purchased and this morning I was pondering how to cut them, and this is exactly the same technique I came up with. Very similar idea to drilling a hole at the end of a crack in metal to relive the stress concentration, except that this is pre-emptive, you are creating a place for the crack to terminate before the crack begins. Very smart!
Thank you for your explanation. Very dangerous situation.
Excellent video. Easier said than done for as green as I am, but it went well. Thank you for the knowledge.
That was really interesting great job 👍
Best video i have seen about this subject. Great Job.
Awesome technique, probably the most interesting tree felling clip I have seen so far. I sometimes get stuck with the chainsaw when the tree is leaning so it was very interesting to see how you solved it 👍🏻
I referred to this video in the woods the other day just before felling a big leaning larch - just to refresh the memory on proper technique. Followed the video precisely and it was perfect 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you man 👍🏻
Thanks! Just used this today on huge river birch
Excellent presentation and demonstration. 👏👏
An excellent video! Thank you so much for information that could save a life.
Good job excellent video learned something new today Thanks
Awesome application of Physics and Logic + Chainsaw Power.
Great video you demonstrated above!
Great stuff, you clearly know what you’re doing! 👍
Great video and instruction !
Great teaching! Thanks man.
Worked like a charm on a leaning partially hollow oak. Thanks.
That is a good video!. Thanks for that technique, will come in handy.
Wow...what a very good idea/technique!
Keep safe, thanks.
Excellent video. Thank you
wonderful and educative, thanks for posting, liked and subscribed
Nice
Have used this
Hickory can be a problem
You executed very well
I had a large oak leaner. Having no experience at this I searched TH-cam like I always do. Came across this video. Successfully cut down the tree with an Ego battery powered 16-in saw. I had to do a couple more stair steps because it was a large tree and the bar width is not very wide. Overall this felt super safe. Once I cut into the back side I was able to step back and listen to it crackle and pop until it went.
Good information, thanks!
A heavy horizontal branch in a tree crown can also barberchair a technic I use is to cut the wedge or small undercut then cut each side of the trunk or branch just past the sapwood sometimes in a triangle shape then proceed to the back cut or top cut
There’s something about cutting the sapwood that reduces the barberchair affect
You nailed the line.
Thanks for explaining this. What degree would you say this was leaning? I've got about a 55° cherrywood leaner coming up that's about 20" in diameter. It's actually a main limb from a fallen tree and it's nearly hollow where it meets the trunk, so it's got me inquiring of safety techniques. I knew about the bore cut and trigger wood, but never did know about the step cuts. Makes sense
Very nicely done !
Nice job! One of the hardest trees to drop
Yeah! Especially when it's ash.
Great explanation!!!
Wow! Great backcuts!
Nice to see a pro at work!
Perfectly done and explained. That's oak and you didn't belt the trunk. In wich case would you belt such a leaner on the trunk?
Outstanding!!
That was clear and to the point
Great work!
I didnt even read the title good i thought you gonna fall it in the opposite site were its leaning i was very curious how you gonna do it
Has anyone ever tried WRAPPING CHAIN around the trunk to keep the split from forming or separating and running up the trunk?
Yup.
I took one of the commercial/yellow ratchet straps and cut it about right to go around a 24" tree twice (just to get rid of the tag end)
Works fantastic. Easier to rig than the chain I was using on hard leaners. Both work. I still advise plunge cutting though instead of trying to bend a 4" thick hinge....
YES I wrapped chain, nylon webbing, basically anything I had, just above the cut. It worked great for me on 3 larger trees.
Excellent!!! Thank you..
thanks for the useful and succinct video
Very cool . Im about to do a favor for my friends mom so I have to be safe because you know how favors go. I think ill use this Technique
Take Care 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Beautifully done, lad!
Great tip, thanks
Good job bro 👏
Thanks for video brother
Top work lad.
Thanks as a cutter in the black hills i had the pleasure during a windy day of being a eye witness of a 17ft barber chair .the noise i havent forgot dont want another
I like how you cut the extremes of the hinge to make it smaller and more controllable so it snaps in the center, nice work man
Perhaps if you had used a humboldt notch to start it would have caused the butt to hit first instead of the crown of the tree. In the video the butt flies up when the crown hits. You might give that a try next time.
Nicely done!
Good technique. Good video.
Nicely done 👍
Run for your life!! Like the slow mo running part! Great job
Nicely done.
Great technique!
I can use some advise I have a tree with a slight lean that is 39 ' high , the lean is towards the house ,what can you recommend to safely have it cut.
Thanks for info.just had barber chair incident few weeks ago.
I have seen guys strap the bottom of the tree to prevent barber chair also.
Heavy straps or ratchet straps, commercial strength. I have only had one tree with a bad lean that I remember, I let it barber chair on purpose, less splitting for firewood.
I was young and may do it differant today , but it worked slick and I enjoyed the challenge. I knew it was a dangerous tree, it acted as I predicted, but you can not always be sure, unseen forces or imperfections in the tree.
Thanks for this!
Nice, thanks for sharing!
The clip you used of the guy running from the barber chair WITH the saw in his hand was scary....drop the saw.
Great video!
Excellent information
Thanks for the vid
Nice job!
Great job!!
Huge help, thank you!
Worked good 😊
Excellent!
Thanks. Now I'm thinking about cutting a 40 foot oak tree that grew wild down in the corner of my house 🏠 🏠 🏚 🏡 its like that but has 3 12 inch stalks coming out of 1 and its leaning toward the street. I live in Texas deer park so its house to house etc with back yards and its right up against the backyard fence and the neighbors have a story house I can't have it fall on the house their house or their cars.
I wish I had you here to help lol
Nice job !!!!
Good technique and well explained. Thanks
There's a tree I have to fell on Tuesday that has a barber chair from the wind. Looks easy enough it's very dead, powder almost.
Good video, heavy leaners are one of the most dangerous trees. K
(we call it a dog tooth cut in UK )
Thank you!
