Tree down

1 trunk from a 4 trunk tree went down while I was at work. No damage other then a smooshed wire fence. This ought to be fun. Already got my chainsaw chain pinched and stuck in the dern thing.

Get some wedges and use your noggin, get hurt easy with that kinda crap. A cable and a block and tackle aint a bad idea either if its in a bind.

Yeah.....was cutting a few quick limbs off the end across the fence and didn't grab my wedges. Will get all the goodies rounded up for the cutting tomorrow.

Like Rees said get a plastic wedge. I use one when cutting through trees to help with the pinching problem. Just cut about half way then put in plastic wedge ln and as you finish cutting it pinches the wedge and not your chain saw bar. Plastic wedge is so if saw does kick back it won't harm chain like a metal wedge would.

Best go ahead and cut the rest of that mess down. If you don't next ones going to be on back of house.

What kind of tree is it?
Got to get a new bar for my chainsaw in Hernando. Pm your address for a load or few.

I'll let you cut it up and take it if you want. Have to haul by hand to the road as it's way too wet to park close.

Wedges OR learn to use a chainsaw the right way LOL

Just glad that side fell and not any of those leaning toward your house Mike.From the looks of what remains you need to take that sucker down pretty quick!

I had a red oak that had the big knots on the limbs and the top was dead. It didn't look good so I cut it down. I cut a large wedge out on the downhill side. Started cutting on the uphill side. Being in the edge of the woods all the limbs are on the house side. I felt it move, pulled the saw out and down it came. The top caught the edge of the house. It put a little nick in a shingle and knocked everything off the walls in the kitchen. The inside back door needs to be shaved some so it will open and close without sticking, but that's like most of the doors in the house.

Shoot if I was gonna do that I'd done it years ago. Got the pop in law coming over this evening to help. Melissa said he looks for any reason to use a chainsaw lol. He once put on spikes, climbed a 100ft pine to top it and speared the house they lived in lol.
I have a guy coming Saturday to take a look at the still standing ones. Price is gonna suck!!

If it is close to a electric power line then check with your power company most of the time they will drop it on the ground for you. But you will have to cut it up and get rid of it yourself.:twocents

About an hours worth of work. Pop in law had to cut one section with the gas saw I couldn't reach other then that he was going to town with his electric chainsaw and I was going to town with the gas one. It's off the fence and shed. Will have the other three on the ground for me to buck shortly.
