There are three essential tools for tree cutting. These tools include a wedge, a back cut, and a hinge. It’s imperative to have a decent-sized wedge so that the wedge is closed by the time the tree falls. A back cut needs to be applied slightly above the cut made on the tree, and a flat cut needs to be made in a horizontal motion. It’s important to be careful not to make an over-cut when cutting the top of the wedge. Also, make sure the hinge is in the desired position that falls the tree in the right direction. For the back cut, a mark should be made to indicate where it will be made. Using the same cut line will keep the hinge at a consistent width.
