A key notch cut is used when you don't want the butt of the tree to fall onto something, like a fence or a bush, or just something on the ground you don't want to crush. Also when you want to prevent the butt from rolling as it falls.

@karensimons9260 Hello Karen. You may think this guy is a 'seasoned faller' as you called him, but I have worked doing exactly what he is doing. One winter Dad and I took out a little over a million board feet of lumber. I've never seen anyone that has done such work do all those crazy things this guy does. I guess this looks impressive to anyone that has never been a lumberjack. I sat here and listened to the narrator and shook my head in amazement at what I saw. This guy knows nothing about cutting down a tree. 1) As other people have said, he needs to sharpen the chain. 2) If he was working for me as a logger and cut down a tree like this, I'd immediately fire him. 3) The ONLY thing he did right was to cut that notch or wedge, but even that was done wrong. 4) You never make an over-cut but always make an under-cut. Over-cut means the top part of the notch is cut at an angle instead of cut horizontal. The angle part should be under the horizontal cut and angle up, leading to the name under-cut. If this tree was to be made into lumber, this guy wasted a lot of the best part of the tree, which is the lower part. 5) Why is he making the cut so high above ground, again wasting a lot of good valuable lumber? All this should be as close to the ground as possible. 6) I've never heard of cutting that long notch below the wedge, since as I said in #5, everything is cut as close to the ground as possible. 7) There are several things to consider when deciding where the tree will fall, and to an extent that location can be influenced by the exact direction of that 'V' shaped wedge. Is the tree leaning a little one way or the other, is there a wind or breeze blowing, does one side have more branches than the other which will pull the falling tree that way because of their extra weight. 8) That long vertical slit he made below the 'V' shaped wedge is suppose to not allow the falling tree to kick back or roll to one side. If you watch very careful as the tree is falling and that 'wedge' is closing, there is a moment when that long strip of wood is on top of the stump and not in the slit leading to the ground. At that moment, the tree would be free to kick back or roll off to one side. If it has many thick heavy branches, they will act as sort of a spring and even let the tree bounce a little. If you are standing to close and the tree hits you, you will either be on your way to a hospital or perhaps the morgue. When you are out there in the woods and working with equipment, you had better keep your mind on what you are doing. There are no second chances. Now Karen, after reading all this, doesn't it make you want to grab your hard-hat and come join me? :)

The tree can only go the right way because of the wedges. Is some extra work, but I guess Stihl are quite motivated to avoid users of their saws dying.

@@Lightworker-ye4nv there are many other comments that seem to agree with me. The more cuts you make in a tree the more unpredictable it gets. if the tree has a rotten center or a vertical split then all those extra cuts have created multiple points of failure and requires more time of the saw operator in harms way. A saw operator stands to the side while cutting the notch and back cut, this method puts the saw operator directly in the path of the tree when it falls all while making more cuts further weakening the tree. A rope and or wedges are far safer than this. I don’t have a logging skidder as my icon for fun. I would trust my grandfathers knowledge over some random person who became an expert by watching videos on KZread. I’m done with you.

If a man wants to make a living he needs to get the job done safely and effectively. Unless the majority of professionals in the tree-cutting industry practice this technique or at the least promote it I would take caution in following this person's method. I have cut trees for over 25 years and have never used this type of technique and never will. I understand the concept of creating a side-to-side hinge wood to help the tree stay in the direction of the fall. I understand plunging the tip of the bar. I have plunged the tip to create a saw holder. That was after many years of handling many different sizes and brands. From gear-driven to clutch-driven. I learned that the tree will go in the direction of the front cut predominately but many factors need to be looked at. So do the manufacturers of chain saws. If you look on the side of most saws there's a direction line on the cover plate that holds the chain. So when laid on the side while felling a tree you can cut your front cut in the direction you want the tree to fall without going too deep or too shallow which in either case may cancel out the direction intended. the chance of preventing any hinge-wood when back cutting too much hinge wood or zero hinge wood. The hinge wood for those that don't know is the wood you leave uncut when coming in the back to fell the tree. I would say please do not try to replicate this unless you understand all the mechanics involved. You either understand this whole deal or you don't. And if you're not completely confident and understand the risks involved please do not try this. Plunging the tip of the bar is very dangerous. If you understand kickback or witnessed or experienced your saw coming right back at your face in a millisecond and thankfully had the chain brake engage then you might see some of the dangers of this procedure. If I were to use this type of cut, no doubt I could perform it with confidence. I would need to stop and take way more time sharpening my chains throughout the day. Not to mention how many more trees I could cut and how much longer my saw would run without refueling. And the longevity of the saw itself. Also, some trees are dead inside and the dead part may be harder than the live tissue or no holding power at all. Some trees are hollow inside making a cut like this impossible. If a person doesn't know there is decay even after seeing the signs like conks you may be creating your upcoming accident. This method seems to hold the direction of the fall to an extent. In fact, it would seem to be best needed if one side of the tree weighed more than the other. This concept if used in that case would possibly prevent the tree from falling towards the weighted side to an extent. But still, many variables and conditions need to be considered. Normally with the standard front cut wedge in the direction of the fell, you come in from the back of the tree and make a single cut in the current alignment to the front cut. You make that back cut lower or higher than the front cut you're going for or one side of the back cut being the proper height but one side higher than the other side you have now got yourself into a dangerous and possibly destructive and life-threatening situation. Normally if felling a tree that is weighted more on one side than the other you leave more hinge wood on the opposite side of the weight. So this is unique but what is not good at all is there will be many who possibly think it's genius and will decide to start cutting using this new remarkably professional-looking cut. I went long-winded just to hopefully open some eyes to prevent major injuries. There is never a band-aid used when dealing with any chainsaw injury. It is major life-threatening, life-changing, and death. So please be careful. People watch these videos and it looks easy. The big box stores push these tools along with other shop tools from table-saws to air-nailers and make it all like anyone can just buy the tool and get started. Hospital emergency room visits have increased in the last ten years with such related injuries. If you know your business which many of you watching do then you already understand. If I am wrong about this technique that's perfectly fine with me. But I am not wrong about the dangers so please take care. Erock

I’m from Klamath County, Oregon where timber and ranching (mainly potatoes, alfalfa and sugar beets) is our lifeblood. This is just a hinge cut, every decently trained arborist also knows this. Pines and fir trees can sometimes split as the fall causing a widowmaker that can also do sever damage to property. I’ve seen amazing experienced timber fallers buck tall trees and fall huge sequoias as if it was nothing. If you want to start in that industry, go find a crew and start as a whistle punk or choke setter, wait till you have to double choke a sequoia and use two skidders to get it down the side of the mountain! What a life! That’s why I served 26 years in the Army as an Infantryman since doing a career as a lumberjack is far more dangerous.

Never had to use something like this in my almost 60 years cutting down trees. His notch should be level and sloping up, and not sloping down. Also, the fancy way of steering the tree can be extremely dangerous as burying the tip of the bar into the tree can cause kick-backs. If you cannot calculate the fall of the tree by considering foliage, wind and available space ... don't do it to begin with.

No you don't... because a hinge cut is rarely ever used ... and its actually dangerous. Watch any company who drops trees . Nobody over falls a tree like this . If it's in danger of hitting something, they top it first, then make a standard cut .. a hinged cut is possible..and even helps in some rare circumstances... But you don't need it to fell a leaning tree with no obstacles in the way .. Learning by KZread can get you hurt if you're not careful. This isn't a cut that inexperienced cutters need to be doing . First thing you're probably going to do is stick your saw ..then things start getting real risky trying to get it unstuck.

A key notch cut is used when you don't want the butt of the tree to fall onto something, like a fence or a bush, or just something on the ground you don't want to crush. Also when you want to prevent the butt from rolling as it falls.

@karensimons9260 Hello Karen. You may think this guy is a 'seasoned faller' as you called him, but I have worked doing exactly what he is doing. One winter Dad and I took out a little over a million board feet of lumber. I've never seen anyone that has done such work do all those crazy things this guy does. I guess this looks impressive to anyone that has never been a lumberjack. I sat here and listened to the narrator and shook my head in amazement at what I saw. This guy knows nothing about cutting down a tree. 1) As other people have said, he needs to sharpen the chain. 2) If he was working for me as a logger and cut down a tree like this, I'd immediately fire him. 3) The ONLY thing he did right was to cut that notch or wedge, but even that was done wrong. 4) You never make an over-cut but always make an under-cut. Over-cut means the top part of the notch is cut at an angle instead of cut horizontal. The angle part should be under the horizontal cut and angle up, leading to the name under-cut. If this tree was to be made into lumber, this guy wasted a lot of the best part of the tree, which is the lower part. 5) Why is he making the cut so high above ground, again wasting a lot of good valuable lumber? All this should be as close to the ground as possible. 6) I've never heard of cutting that long notch below the wedge, since as I said in #5, everything is cut as close to the ground as possible. 7) There are several things to consider when deciding where the tree will fall, and to an extent that location can be influenced by the exact direction of that 'V' shaped wedge. Is the tree leaning a little one way or the other, is there a wind or breeze blowing, does one side have more branches than the other which will pull the falling tree that way because of their extra weight. 8) That long vertical slit he made below the 'V' shaped wedge is suppose to not allow the falling tree to kick back or roll to one side. If you watch very careful as the tree is falling and that 'wedge' is closing, there is a moment when that long strip of wood is on top of the stump and not in the slit leading to the ground. At that moment, the tree would be free to kick back or roll off to one side. If it has many thick heavy branches, they will act as sort of a spring and even let the tree bounce a little. If you are standing to close and the tree hits you, you will either be on your way to a hospital or perhaps the morgue. When you are out there in the woods and working with equipment, you had better keep your mind on what you are doing. There are no second chances. Now Karen, after reading all this, doesn't it make you want to grab your hard-hat and come join me? :)

The technique recommended in the Stihl manual looks the safest to me. Front notch aas here, cut central chamber,bang in a wedge or 2 then cut the back notch. The tree can only go the right way because of the wedges. Is some extra work, but I guess Stihl are quite motivated to avoid users of their saws dying.

@@Lightworker-ye4nv there are many other comments that seem to agree with me. The more cuts you make in a tree the more unpredictable it gets. if the tree has a rotten center or a vertical split then all those extra cuts have created multiple points of failure and requires more time of the saw operator in harms way. A saw operator stands to the side while cutting the notch and back cut, this method puts the saw operator directly in the path of the tree when it falls all while making more cuts further weakening the tree. A rope and or wedges are far safer than this. I don’t have a logging skidder as my icon for fun.

I have cut trees for over 25 years and have never used this type of technique and never will. I understand the concept of creating a side-to-side hinge wood to help the tree stay in the direction of the fall. I understand plunging the tip of the bar. I have plunged the tip to create a saw holder. That was after many years of handling many different sizes and brands. From gear-driven to clutch-driven. I learned that the tree will go in the direction of the front cut predominately but many factors need to be looked at. So do the manufacturers of chain saws. If you look on the side of most saws there's a direction line on the cover plate that holds the chain. So when laid on the side while felling a tree you can cut your front cut in the direction you want the tree to fall without going too deep or too shallow which in either case may cancel out the direction intended. the chance of preventing any hinge-wood when back cutting too much hinge wood or zero hinge wood. The hinge wood for those that don't know is the wood you leave uncut when coming in the back to fell the tree. I would say please do not try to replicate this unless you understand all the mechanics involved. You either understand this whole deal or you don't. And if you're not completely confident and understand the risks involved please do not try this. Plunging the tip of the bar is very dangerous. If you understand kickback or witnessed or experienced your saw coming right back at your face in a millisecond and thankfully had the chain brake engage then you might see some of the dangers of this procedure. If I were to use this type of cut, no doubt I could perform it with confidence. I would need to stop and take way more time sharpening my chains throughout the day. Not to mention how many more trees I could cut and how much longer my saw would run without refueling. And the longevity of the saw itself. Also, some trees are dead inside and the dead part may be harder than the live tissue or no holding power at all. Some trees are hollow inside making a cut like this impossible. If a person doesn't know there is decay even after seeing the signs like conks you may be creating your upcoming accident. This method seems to hold the direction of the fall to an extent. In fact, it would seem to be best needed if one side of the tree weighed more than the other. This concept if used in that case would possibly prevent the tree from falling towards the weighted side to an extent. But still, many variables and conditions need to be considered. Normally with the standard front cut wedge in the direction of the fell, you come in from the back of the tree and make a single cut in the current alignment to the front cut. You make that back cut lower or higher than the front cut you're going for or one side of the back cut being the proper height but one side higher than the other side you have now got yourself into a dangerous and possibly destructive and life-threatening situation. Normally if felling a tree that is weighted more on one side than the other you leave more hinge wood on the opposite side of the weight. So this is unique but what is not good at all is there will be many who possibly think it's genius and will decide to start cutting using this new remarkably professional-looking cut. I went long-winded just to hopefully open some eyes to prevent major injuries. There is never a band-aid used when dealing with any chainsaw injury. It is major life-threatening, life-changing, and death. So please be careful. People watch these videos and it looks easy. The big box stores push these tools along with other shop tools from table-saws to air-nailers and make it all like anyone can just buy the tool and get started. Hospital emergency room visits have increased in the last ten years with such related injuries. If you know your business which many of you watching do then you already understand. If I am wrong about this technique that's perfectly fine with me. But I am not wrong about the dangers so please take care. Erock

A precise cut for around structures, to insure you don't have to use your insurance, but, When you work for someone else in the woods, you can't play around like this and waste wood by high-stumping You'll be headed to the crew bus before lunch. At least with my company you would. I can't afford that play-around and waste. 3 cuts, ,bottom face angle face and back-cut. If you have to tap a wedge in the back cut to keep your strip clean and neat, then do it and move on.

You cut the back side to allow the remaining attached grain act as your hinge point Then your tree turns on the hinge to the location where you want it to go. Only 2 cuts.

Now that is a skilled Tradesman
😮😮I don’t think I know enough to be cutting trees higher than 5 feet tall.
I’m from Klamath County, Oregon where timber and ranching (mainly potatoes, alfalfa and sugar beets) is our lifeblood. This is just a hinge cut, every decently trained arborist also knows this. Pines and fir trees can sometimes split as the fall causing a widowmaker that can also do sever damage to property. I’ve seen amazing experienced timber fallers buck tall trees and fall huge sequoias as if it was nothing. If you want to start in that industry, go find a crew and start as a whistle punk or choke setter, wait till you have to double choke a sequoia and use two skidders to get it down the side of the mountain! What a life! That’s why I served 26 years in the Army as an Infantryman since doing a career as a lumberjack is far more dangerous.

What a bunch of BS, those extra cuts do nothing. The tree is already falling before they would even come into play.
Only when I see a tree fall upward,I’ll be impressed 😂😂😂
Alot time in front of the notch, be careful
So cool, homeowner appreciated the extra work.
I used to cut down trees like that when i was younger we didnt have a log truck and only a 6 inch diameter chipper and did everything by rope people loved us because we didnt bring in all types of heavy equipment and some of the roping techniques we were able to pull off were amazing to watch
best technique éver‼️ well done🥂 👊🔥 🪖
Never had to use something like this in my almost 60 years cutting down trees. His notch should be level and sloping up, and not sloping down. Also, the fancy way of steering the tree can be extremely dangerous as burying the tip of the bar into the tree can cause kick-backs. If you cannot calculate the fall of the tree by considering foliage, wind and available space ... don't do it to begin with.

No, but if branches break off as it falls, it can save him for many, depending what size. It helps the odds. But the whole tree, yeah, wouldn't help.

Still always SADDENS me THE TREE CAN GET AWAY & YOU KILLED IT
You know not everyone is an expert so maybe this little bit of advice will save someone I live in Vermont have used a chain saw for 37 yrs mostly cutting fire wood but I’ve read about people that work out in the woods with years of experience and that’s where they find them my advice have someone with experience show you always respect that saw and that tree, good luck 🙏

Dude, I watch August Hunicke out on the west coast (Grants Pass Oregon) and he is an arborist, and uses most of these, if not all of them, depending on what he's cutting, whether it's a leaner and what other obstacles he may be dealing with, and sometimes has to use a guide line to ensure the tree falls where he wants it to. he's been doing this for decades and has a full crew and business.
The "Unique Technique" that has been in every tree felling handbook since 1927 (the invention of gas chainsaws). Really Unique!
Had a big elm tree with a wicked lean. I cut it down with this technique, and it fell exactly on line with the notch seemingly defying gravity based on the lean. 👍😎

This is probably the most significant use case of this technique. If you got some heavy leaner that you need to redirect a couple degrees off his lean. Otherwise I see no real use for this technique.

Very safe and ingenious. Well done.

That's not proper. It's fancy and honestly more risky for the tree feller than conventional methods. If you need to drop a tree, please research the standard, time tested technique. (Which basically boils down to a face cut wedge and then a finishing cut slightly above it from the opposite side to hinge the tree in the direction of the face cut)

No you don't... because a hinge cut is rarely ever used ... and its actually dangerous. Watch any company who drops trees . Nobody over falls a tree like this . If it's in danger of hitting something, they top it first, then make a standard cut .. a hinged cut is possible..and even helps in some rare circumstances... But you don't need it to fell a leaning tree with no obstacles in the way .. Learning by KZread can get you hurt if you're not careful. This isn't a cut that inexperienced cutters need to be doing . First thing you're probably going to do is stick your saw ..then things start getting real risky trying to get it unstuck.
Yeah, do this to a tree that’s not been topped yet
Brilliant work, very clever
