Just this past week -- The tree came down with such force.

STIHL recommends two ways to fell a tree: the conventional cut and the open-face cut. When felling a tree, you'll need to evaluate the dynamics of the tree. More people are injured while felling trees than during any other logging activity. Safety must be of utmost priority when approaching a tree to cut. Dec 09, Id like to know your opinions on using ladders in tree work. Im of the opinion ladders are ok to use to access the tree as long as they are roped onto the tree and the climber is anchored into the tree also.

Im against using a chainsaw when on ladders and using ladders that are not attached to the treegrind.barns in my van are split!
