Simple demonstration of cutting down a tree (felling a tree) with a chainsaw. Did you know you can buy a chainsaw on Amazon? www.amazon.com/... Stick around for some bonus material at the end of the video.
+Louis Linkous The chain is supposed to be loose, I wouldn't say it's supposed to hang that far down but semi loose is how it has to be, if the chain is tight to it like a lot of people think than that is how the chain will break off, after a certain point the tighter the chain is onto it then the more likely the chain will come off, especially when going into a thicker tree than this one, if the chainsaw was to get stuck and all the movement stops on the chain, if its tight then I will guarantee 99% of the time that chain is gonna come off because you're not meant to have a lot of tension, if you're doing it right you should hardly have to push at all on the chainsaw, it's all about keeping the chain moving
I was quick to judge this guy with his Loose chain, shorts, no chaps, electric saw then junk poulan but he actually did a nice fell and clean up. Good job
Funny how many people fuss about this guy not wearing chaps. I've never worn chainsaw safety chaps nor seen anyone personally wearing the silly things. Your best safety equipment is your brain.
I bought a 3 HP electric 16 inch Made in the USA McCullagh Chain saw about 25 years or more ago. Very handy for that branch or tree that comes down during a storm around the house. The few times (sometimes years between uses) I use a chain saw I don't have to worry about "will it start". I plug it in 1/2 hour to hour later I'm done.
The notch was a bit wide...it's safer if the tree separates when the notch closes, avoiding the "barber chair" risks. Also, if you value those legs get chainsaw chaps...they are cheaper than an ER visit.
The wide 70 degree angle down cut allows the tree to fall all the way to the ground without the holding wood ( hinge) breaking. I agree that this guy should wearing ppe.

Better saw I agree but the chain is quite loose. Also when you buck up a tree you should be wearing chaps, One slip and you have a very bad day! but other than that good video!!
Funny to see that people, that are not used to use a chainsaw, keep pushing and pulling the machine while sawing, as if their movements help to fasten the job. It does NOT !!! The chain moves a thousand times faster than you can !!
The electric chainsaw could handle that job... tighten a bit more and make sure it's sharpen before you start... big difference when it's dull and loose...
@@TomahawkDIY we recently took down 6 trees on our property twice the thickness from this video and 1 that was 70 years old 40 inches wide 50ft tall.. our electric chainsaw performed well on the first 2 then it was cleaned and made it sharp again but it gave out on the 5th tree.... we decided to buy a gas chainsaw from Stihl and couldn't be happier.
Okay don't follow this video, several things this guy did was wrong. One chain is way to loose. Should be able to fit a dime under the chain. Not have it hanging. Your wedge was not at the right angle. This why it didn't fall to the ground. Now if you go and saw in this position it can cause a kick back from the saw or the tree bucking up in your face. You need chaps on too. Hard hat and face shield.
Neither saw had a chain that was tight enough....telling me you are not an expert by any means and should not be putting felling videos out to the public. You had an open yard to fell this tree.
Very bad example of cutting down a tree! Should not make a video etc. without regards to safety. Had no long pants, and cutting with tennis shoes nor gloves. Totally wrong to publicise with no regards to safety.
4:43 Is the lesson here to yell "timber" 1 second before the tree hits the ground? I imagine innocent bystander going "Huh? Did someone just yell timb.." *SMASH*
Did any one else notice how loose the chainsaw chain on both chainsaws were? The chains on both were hanging down from the bar.

Louis Linkous yeah
Louis Linkous Nicely put sir
Louis Linkous yep
The chain is not suppose to be loose. I luv the advice some people give.
I love it, comes back with a 50cc 20 inch bar chainsaw and finishes the job. Great video
I was quick to judge this guy with his Loose chain, shorts, no chaps, electric saw then junk poulan but he actually did a nice fell and clean up. Good job
Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!

THANK YOU SIR FOR THR VIDEO. I WENT OUTSIDE AND CUT DOWN 5 TREES. 👍"IT WORKS"
what a pro I'm going out to buy a chainsaw right now i feel very confident now
Don’t let this guy encourage you to deforest.
Thank you for the video, it helped me alot .... Great Work....

Good thing he's got his gloves on eh
hmm, I'd recommend the stihl ms 170. it's a small saw but it should be the last you get if you're cutting stuff like that. it's a great little saw.
I was going to get one today for $150 new on COVID sale but the closest ACE hardware that has them in stock is 69 miles away. I guess I'll go echo

Excellent presentation 👍🙏
Think that chain need tightened ahhaha
You don’t need safety gear to cut down little trees people.....
Looks awful dangerous using one of them big tree cutting saws.
Great job!!!
Dangerous man.
Is it me or did any one else notis he's not whereing any proper PPE other than a hard hat and a face sheild ???????
I think it's only you
Kestral2670 Your grammar gave me a headache.
Wearing*
Mr panda right back at you
Little to no PPE, loose and dull chain, no using chain brake..... Good going
Get a real saw.
Good video,
But why did you cut the tree so high off the ground ?
bsc1959 why didn't he wear appropiate protective gear?
Better saw I agree but the chain is quite loose. Also when you buck up a tree you should be wearing chaps, One slip and you have a very bad day! but other than that good video!!
I agree with Paul. I guess he should have put a pair of crocs or flip flops on to match the shorts.
2:31 the tree is screaming with pain.
What happened to your left calf? Looks like a huge scar. Could just be the lighting and camera angle.
were are your chainsaw trousers
t - i - m - b - e - r - !
simple easy done
that's the way my Deddy and me did it for many years
which model was the 2nd chainsaw?
I think it was a poulan but I am not sure. You asked for model, not brand but it's the best I can offer
You saved my marriage!
Nice job. Clean cuts. I think you may have wanted a bigger chainsaw for that job though. 😂 j/kidding. 👍
Funny to see that people, that are not used to use a chainsaw, keep pushing and pulling the machine while sawing, as if their movements help to fasten the job. It does NOT !!! The chain moves a thousand times faster than you can !!
lol that was like starting with a Pinto and finishing with a Charger!
The electric chainsaw could handle that job... tighten a bit more and make sure it's sharpen before you start... big difference when it's dull and loose...
Thanks for the tip

Since my channel is anti deforestation, what you do does not make me happy.

But it didn't do any of those things you mention. He released the tension by Delimbing and reducing weight.
The Lorax will be angry
Elijah Grace lol
Are shorts the preferred attire for using saws? Jk just playin
My preference for sure
Cept I don't believe in wearing shoes. Barefoot all day long
lol cut a big enough directional cut lol?
The first chainsaws chain needs tightened
Cut Down a Shark with a chainsaw next?

Saw farther down the tree!
hack
Chain is dull af! On both
My 110 chainsaw gose right whrew tree's no problem
You can buy a chainsaw on Amazon?!?!?!?!?! Unbelievable the things you learn on CZcams!!!
He needs to tighten his chain
i do believe you stand to one side when cutting in case the chain bar jumps out at ... 152 i am not an expert
I love trees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tighten it up and sharpen it lol
Who's watching in 2017
You should not claim knowledge

DON'T CUT TREES
4:43 Is the lesson here to yell "timber" 1 second before the tree hits the ground? I imagine innocent bystander going "Huh? Did someone just yell timb.." *SMASH*
Worst ever
that's the way my Deddy and me did it for many years
