Thread: show us your chainsaws

My firewood log pile has been threatened by a gum with an ever increasing lean on it. Trouble being its 2m on the wrong side of a 9 wire fence, and I have resigned myself to having to cut the fence, drop said tree then restrain the fence. Groan! I had even toyed with t he idea of building up a massive pile of firewood logs for the tree to drop on

Then @HuntBeta visited the bright ideas department and said "why don't you repurpose those dirt bike jumps made from earthmoving tyres and have the tree hit those instead of the fence?"

Seem like a far less work intensive option, so relocated the tyres with the tractor, and for good measure piled a decent sized firewood log on top. @Ross Nolan 's dog wandered by to add perspective.



The tree has been leaning badly for the last decade, so it had built up quite a deal of tension in it. so when it went (bore and release) it went off like a gunshot.



End result was just what the doctor ordered. Tree down out of the way and fence intact
