Directional sawing with a drawback

Cutting down a tree with a drawbar.The method of destruction is suitable for a tree that can be completely dumped into the selected area due to a rope attached close to the top of the tree. To secure it, a rope with a load is thrown as high as possible onto a tree. This is usually done with the help of a huge slingshot, firing loads with a thin braided line.

See also: How to legally cut down a tree.Suitable for tall and aged trees with heavy branches or a large number of them, even a slight slope in the opposite direction. This makes it difficult to determine the direction of “care” at the time of cutting. It is possible to work with most trees, there would be opportunities for the installation of guy ropes and strong ropes.

Scheme of work:

• The crown is tied with a pole or an equipped climber, depending on the height of the tree.
• The rope is pulled tight by manual force, a winch or a polispast (with blocking the reverse course of the rope). First of all – lateral tension.
• Standard counter cuts are made.
• A fulling cut is carried out.
• The tree falls into a precisely defined area of space.
• Look at how the tree felling looks with the help of a drawbar:

A good choice of actions for a tree in the park, forest and even on the site. Professional companies attract high-level specialists who calculate the tension level, eliminate the risk of splitting the trunk and falling with unpredictable consequences.

Roll with free discharge

Removal of a tree by a climber.A method that allows you to cut down a tree in parts and drop them down. It is chosen when a tall and thick tree cannot be felled freely, but there is free space under it to dump sawn fragments.

Stages of work:

• An arborist on gaffs (“claws” worn on the legs with which a climber digs into a tree) and a rope climbs a tree, “along the way” cutting down all large parts of branches to the very top, if conditions allow. It can also “hang” and lower.
• Before cutting down the top of the tree, the climber ties a rope to its upper part and drops it to his partner.
• He pulls the rope in the direction of the fall by force of his hands or with a polispast.
• The climber cuts down the top and finally drops it.
• When going down, all the remnants of branches and the trunk itself are cut down.
• When the arborist reaches a height of 2-2.5 m, workers clear the free space at the bottom of the trunk for him.
• The specialist descends and cuts the remains of the trunk into plates of the desired length.

On the tree, the specialist works with two insurances. After working one tier, he secures the second insurance to a higher level. Only then removes the mount from the lower tier. When descending, the trunk is processed and cut off an average of 2 m per tier. The stump is left with a height of no more than a third of the diameter, if you work according to the standards of the Kursk region.

It is possible to work with a hydraulic lift. Actions are performed in the same sequence, with mandatory insurance. If a sufficiently large and heavy tree is cut down, the ground below can be badly broken.
