Bucking Fallen Trees into Logs

around will show you those real quick [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right let's go to the other side of the farm well I said let's go to the other side of the farm but first let's go to the front yard this is the tree that took our power out for four days or so I'll show you so this is a pretty large hickory tree and I'll show you a little bit there's the brush I've gotten a little bit of the brush so the power company came and just cut it off of their power lines and put our power line back up but what I've got to do is cut it into sections and what I want to do with this we're gonna have a portable sawmill guy come out and cut some timber here for us so cut us some lumber out of some of these windfall trees so I'm gonna basically get them all together get them in a big pile and I'm gonna cut this big stuff and it doesn't look that big until I get over here on it let me show ya pretty significant that's a pretty significant sized tree I'm gonna say it's throwing through about 16 inches or so so we'll be able to get two cuts off of this long tree right here it's basically two 16-foot cuts we'll be able to get two cuts out of this tree so we'll cut it up in preparation for making some lumber with it so something to consider is this root ball may try and stand back up as we're cutting this tree up so we got to really be cognizant of that at the very least that root ball is going to try and tip up like that so as we cut the tree we'll start from the top of it and work our way down [Music] now I think you can see what I mean about it raising back up on that stump this affords us the opportunity to get down out of the dirt with our log but you can see it raised up when we go to cut down here that stump is going to try to stand almost straight back up you can see it raised up a good five and a half feet from when I cut this log right here so something to be aware of if you're cutting the tree on a stump like this be aware that stumps gonna try and move with you a little bit so what we'll do with this next cut down at the base of the tree we're gonna go in underneath and take a little cut probably cut about that deep and then we'll go in on the top and that way hopefully it'll just drop right off this is gonna make some awesome awesome lumber I cannot wait to have it cut up it's gonna be pretty cool and I'm really digging my MS 3:11 still good stuff good stuff so let's get to work here this is gonna be the last log we cut on today's vlog so we'll go ahead and…
