Felling trees with a chainsaw is one of the most dangerous jobs in agriculture, forestry and horticulture. Chainsaw operators are therefore required to be skilled and competent in their work. After felling a tree, the remaining stump shows whether the chainsaw operator has worked competently and safely.

The ‘stump assessment’ shows whether the most important aspect of a skilled tree felling has been carried out.
Chainsaw operators, forest owners, contractors and clients are required to be able to assess the safety of felling work based on stump quality, or to have it assessed.
Was the tree cut professionally? Are the relevant characteristics of professional felling obvious present?

Until now, stump assessment was reserved for a group of technically skilled and experienced individuals. With the app “STOCKFIBEL to go”, this is now a thing of the past.

Using the assessment criteria of notch, notch line, hinge size, hinge shape, felling cut height and tilt of cuts, users can make a meaningful and correct assessment of the stump.
