you have skills...hey hey

good job bud!

 

Why did your dad plant the tree right outside the garage door in the first place?

Just messing with ya, anytime you don't wreck a building or drop it on the truck you did good.

 

I agree 100% about the rope!!! I cut A LOT of trees down. I've got a big chain saw, so friends etc. are always hitting me up to cut trees down for them!! I've got about 75 feet of 1" braided hemp rope that I use to tie off and pre load trees for felling!! I've also got a good "ratcheting come along" and sometimes I even use my tow strap for tree felling!!! Some of my friends say it's work, I actually kind of enjoy it!!

 

Good job!!

We had to take one down beginning of fall this year. Angle of one of the limbs was towards the house. 1 angled cut, 1 ****** strap and 1 diesel truck... we were able to keep the limb from hitting the house. Heavy hit to the throttle missed the house by 4 feet. The rest of the tree fell towards the yard on a subsequent cut.

**Note: be darn sure to have more rope/strap than the tree is tall. Don't want to be the next Youtube clip of a crushed truck.

Good times!!
