Morning Gary!
Many hands make light work! Nice work fellas!
Morning Jay!
Great group of guys, having fun getting a project done. Thanks for sharing, GP.
Cheers George!
Great job on that tree. Your a good neighbor.
Cheers and thanks!
Nice job with the gang. Good video to get motivated before going in the woods.
Have a great long weekend Roger!
Great video as always GP! As a Husqvarna fan it is funny and painful at the same time seeing Husky Bob get teased😊 He really needs a Husqvarna 550XP Mark II to compete with your Stihl 261 then the tables would turn😊. Thanks for your time as always my friend!
LOL! I would love to get him one - he deserves and yes, we rib him a lot....but he gets me back - two-fold. LOL! Thanks again - have a great long weekend!
@@GPOutdoors thank GP you are one of my favorite channels! Have a great weekend!
GP. Just doing things outdoors with friends makes life so much better. You really have a very nice group. I am glad your shirt fits. Have fun on the golf course. 🇦🇺🍻
Thanks again Phillip. It is a beautiful shirt - the material is perfect for hot humid days and for enjoying some time out in the sun. Be well and thanks again!
Awesome job by a good group of guys....even IF one of them is stuck on a Husky !! Maybe one day he will 'see the light' !! Have a great weekend my friends.
LOL! Good morning T! Always a good time and a little learning along the way. No changing Bob's ways now.:)) Enjoy your long weekend my friend!
Nice job, Gord,
greetings from the Czech republic. Great job and very nice equipment. Thumbs up. All the best.
Love all the matching plaid shirts.
One was out of uniform...lol
I'm a west coast faller up here in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. You're gonna need to up the pace fellas - we burn through 6L of gas in 6.5 hrs. Chainsaws for life. Nice work 👍
LOL! Thanks Warren - have a great long weekend!
@@GPOutdoors you too
Husqvarna need a good sharpen. GP Tks god for good great friends next door . 😊
By the look of the greasing you do GP you could use a rechargeable grease gun. Well worth the money imo
Lots of good sized chips coming that saw 👍
Always fun, thanks. Cheers! ✌
Hello GP, you have a great team out there to get the job done. White Birch are very nice trees. You had some fun with that face cut. I am not sure if you had noticed discoloration in the center of the face cut or that during the back cut the tree broke away rather quickly. When you see discoloration in the center of the face cut or when cutting into a tree then there is a good chance that the tree is rot or hollow in the center. To maintain better control, try starting the back cut from directly behind or using a bore/plunge cut leaving a backstrap opposed to cutting from one side then around to the other side. Awesome golf shirt. Just for information, White Birch are prone for splitting and shooting back when they have a lot of lean. In your case the tree had a very minor lean. Have a great weekend GP!
Morning and thanks JO. Greatly appreciated. I saw the discolouration and will keep mindful of your advice for sure. Thanks again - and enjoy your long weekend!
Good evening GP..
The tree hit the ground and didn’t hit anything Bobby didn’t want hit.. Great job..
Guy is very knowledgeable about most everything…
Thanks Coach.! 👍
Thank you for sharing another great adventure..
As always stay safe and always be kind.
Cheers my friend..
Morning Gus! He certainly is. I think I need to start wearing my glasses when I am out. LOL! Say hi to Sally and all the best to you both!
Great time with friends and helping where and when you can. A great time was had by all and everyone was safe at the end of the day. That was an awesome shirt you received from the Land Down Under. Really a great golf shirt. You all stay safe up there and keep up the great work and videos. Fred.
Thanks Fred! And thanks for all your support - it is greatly appreciated. Have a great week and wish all the best to you and your family!
Eastern Birch tree live in a climate of frost and cold but are a good source of heat in your wood burning stove. Nice video of a tree that needed to be fell due to core rot. You may wonder how they were able to build a water tight birch bark canoe.
Great work. I was travelling down the 400 and onto the 401 a few weeks ago and say someone with your sticker GP outdoors. Take care
Good morning! That would have been me. :)) Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors I thought it might have been. I was trying to catch up 😄
Great to see y'all 3 working together!! Great felling!! Nice golf shirt!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Good recovery 👍
Great work GP, looks like a lot of camp fire wood there, Cheers !!!
You had a log roller but didn't use it
Cut 80% through all pieces, then roll Log and finish up to stay away from the dirt.
And saves time instead of using wedges every round
Happy chopping
Or cut 1/4 from the top and finish the cut from the bottom on the section that was off the ground, might prove difficult for someone who cannot line up two cuts. this channel never ceases to amaze me.
Was reading the comments just to make sure someone said what I wanted to
@@donaldrust4121 Thank you! nice knowing I am not the only one.
Gord, what an interesting video! It always turns out this way when superior minds come together to attack a challenge! You guys are hysterical and hard workers to boot!!! Thanks guys and keep ‘em coming! From warm and sunny Florida! 👏😎🇺🇸🇨🇦
LOL! Good day and thanks Jim! Aways a good time - one of these days I will include the stuff I edit out - those guys are pretty funny. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Thanks Gord.
How come he didn't put the Brush by the Fire pit ?? several nights of Fire wood right there.
Mike M.
I always dread the ground cut on the stump, if your chain doesn’t need sharpening before it will when your done. Nice one!
LOL! So true. Cheers!
Always the last cut of the Day....
I'm always impressed by Guy's knowledge, and outdoorsman skills. Good person to defer to, when in doubt. He's a pretty good DIY welder, too. Nice job by a group of friends. That's a pretty big birch tree, from those I've seen here in NE Ohio, USA.
Good morning and thanks! He sure is. Same here - usually they don't live long up here but Bobby has a couple that seem to be larger than average but they are dying off now. Cheers!
Nice video GP - practice makes experience, really surprised Huskie let a Stihl on the property, nice looking shirt but when you said the land down under, thought is going to be the gloves in your hands. Cheers and have a great week and upcoming long weekend, but when were retired, every weekend is a long one.
Morning Buddy! LOL. So true - you too - enjoy the May 2-4 weekend!
Yes I recommend a milwalkee or dewalt. Both outstanding
good burning wood that's for sure
Maybe if you glued a bubble level (loonie size) on the side of your saw it would help?
Your first cut is your most important cut, it should be flat and create the base from which you create your notch. You can not line up your fall when you first cut should be your second. I rarely create the notch from above my first cut. I always come up from under…it gives you a lot more control over your notch and, your fall line. Then, your back cut. With the center so rotted, you didn’t have much back cut before it released. That’s why the face cut is also critical…it often gives you a look inside the tree.
That husky couldn’t hold a candle to a Stihl.
You made good work of it. Really an easy fall because the top was weighted on the right side and the lean was gentle enough to easily control your fall line.
Hey thanks so much for the advice Keith. Greatly appreciated. I thought I would try doing the angle first for a change to see if t helped me more, but it appears it didn't. Thanks again - Yup love my STIHLs. :))
I did that today also but by myself. 28" dead ash tree removal. All brush hauled and whole tree bucked,split and stacked in 4 hrs. Not much of a challenge for me
Now that's pretty efficient. And sounds like a whole lot of good firewood. Cheers!
Great video with lots of good information. I do have one question - how did the rope get anchored up high in the tree to help direct the direction of fall? I have a similar problem with a tree and had wondered how to tie off a rope at that height. Thanks -
Good day DW. Bobby did it. I believe he used a string line with a 1 lb pouch on the end to toss it up there ( I forget what you call it but you can buy one from an Arborist store such as The Arborist Store or Universal Field Supplies). Then just tie the heavier gauge rope to it and pull it through and around. Hope that helps. Cheers!
You guys obviously have a dress code....is there a secret handshake too?? Great video!
LMAO! Cheers Andy!
Nice job next time when you cutting to leng and if want to pinch your saw cut only 3/4 through log like 10pieces and then 11pieces cut all through if you can and then just roll over log
I hope you understand what i mean😁
I do indeed - it works well for sure. Cheers!
I just got a husquvarna 550xp mark 2. See how it compares to my 261c-m. I got few years back thanks to gp
I hear that is a really nice saw Brian. Let me know how it does!
@@GPOutdoors I love the Stihl have a great dealer close by was a lot more money and where out of them so I figured give husky a shot have a few large trees coming down needed another pro saw
I have a Husky 550XP Mark 2 also - great saw.
@@wayneradwan6573 looking forward to using it have big trees coming down soon cutting them up have friends helping I wanted another good saw to use
@@wayneradwan6573 great to hear it’s a great saw
Where did the new Canadian helmet come from Love it😊
Me too! It is a Protos Integral Arborist helmet. I got it from the Canadian website. Super comfy!
How's she gin'? Nice job taking that tree down. Nice to see you guys all had your team uniforms on!! LOL Take care!!
LOL! Morning Grampie. A little orange overload perhaps. Hope you and Nanna are keeping well and enjoying the good weather. Black flies are out in full force here already. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors We have a bumper crop of black flies around here too!!
Any thoughts as to why it was rotten in the middle?
Just too old?
Maybe
Correct me if wrong, but saw is a ms 261C ? (I didn't see any carb adj. screws on side)
It's a CM model (ms 261 CM) - it's a version 3 M-tronic. STIHL does not sell the C models in Canada - just FYI - Cheers!
Is that a new grapple? Need more details.
You bet Tony. Great to hear from you. I got it in the fall last year so several videos on it you can find on my channel page. It is from Homestead Implements - manufactured in NY , USA. Working out very nicely. Cheers!
Do your lower cut first?
LOL! I usually do but several folks suggested to try doing the angle first, so I thought I would give it a try. I'll keep working at it - thanks for trying to help!
Hello GP, a little off topic here. I recently purchased a new 3310 and the antifreeze level in my jug is right down there I went and purchased some from the dealer and as I started to put some in I noticed that it's red, what I have in the tractor now is green.
This started me down a road of getting a lot of conflicting reports from a lot of people .I just dont know which to beleive anymore. Dealer says no difference. I was wondering if you ran across this with your rig ?
Hey good morning. Mine is red I believe but I have never paid attention to the colour - I would listen to the dealer always - they hold the warranty on it. Just my thoughts. Good luck Sterling!
Husky on same lake as you?
Across the road C2! Just a quick run down the road. :)
Nice work. But, not off my business after you put down a tree always clean your stump. Does needles from the hinge can hurt you real bad if you fall on them. Thumb up
Thanks very much - I agree, I need to start remembering that. Cheers and thanks again!
GP, I think you got the short end of the stick on this mission. Unless it is your clever video editing, but it appears you did the majority of the work on this tree removal mission. LOL
For a guy who doesn’t have a fireplace or boiler…..GP cuts a lot of wood…..😂
@@foxlake6750 GP has all the good firewood processing toys. LOL
LOL! Just my editing I think - :)) I know I got to do alot of the fun work for sure. Cheers B!
"Sawdust is man-glitter."
LOL!
I see a stump grinder in your future…….
Pick up the tree with the Grapple so you don’t need to bend!
Hi Gordon I have some good news and not so good news. The not so good news is I can't send you pictures here. If I could get your email address I will send you a few pictures. The good news is the shop called and my zero turn mower was ready
So I went and picked it up Monday along with a new stihl 261. They said that they can't get 261c anymore. I haven't run it yet but they fueled it up and full tank of bar oil. I got an extra chain. They ran it to make sure it was all ready. If you send me your email I will send you pictures. Have a wonderful rest of the week my friend. James
Hey great stuff James. Is it a 261 CM (that's what I have)? my email address is gordpotter55 at gmail dot com. Cheers!
