An all new idea about hinge cutting.

Looks like my luck.... Trees simply do their own thing sometimes....despite best precautions/plans.

That would be really bad but I could see it happening...

Think he tried to ride that one out?

Definitely a good pucker moment.

Not sure that's just saw dust on the snow there.

I bet trophy bucks bed under the tractor.

That would mandate a trip to the cleaners.......

Things sure can go wrong in a hurry when the old envelope is pushed. That picture should be on the cover of every tractor maintenance manual.

Hope he had a change of underwear in the truck.

He wasn't hinge cutting, just appylying poor felling practices. Wedge was too small, should have been a more open wedge.

The kind of picture that when you see it first you're not sure if you are going to laugh or cry

And a narrower hinge may have helped as well. Really the tree did exactly what could be expected a percentage of the time with that cut and "high" pushover point.

Yeah.
Thats the value of plunge cutting. You can form the hinge without fear of the tree falling or setting back on the saw. Get the hinge correct, then cut the tab.

Absolutely Tap. It allows accurate, safer, perfect hinges cut almost to the precision one does in their wood working shop projects.

BC Faller Training Standards videos 1-17 is a good series on youtube to watch over and over and memorize to learn how not to kill yourself when mixing trees with chainsaws.
