Bendy river birch. I had a similar size Norwegian Spruce do that even with a back cut.

The new one are getting worse by the year. Full of gimmicky unnecessary crap that breaks and take things away like grease fittings, dipsticks, keys that don't go dead and strand you etc. etc.

Saw on TB Been trying to figure out how to do this forever.

Not many rigs still have grease fittings. Only one (from the factory) on my 11 Ram is in the front driveline CV joint, have to remove the driveline and use a needle to grease it. Hardly anyone knows it so a lot of drivelines get replaced.

We are just weird We like Christmas in our house. Winter is short. We make the most of it. Especially this year, being gone almost a month in October. Texas is a couple hours ahead and we came home on the time change. Like where did 3 hours go? Plus it’s raining and half cool.

interesting that you start to celebrate christmas that early (to me)

I'm thinking a snowmobile might serve you best :D.

Trying to grease front end on my winter drive. 2003 Tahoe. All not bad to get to til I got to the pitman arm and idler. Figured I would change fittings to right angle. Fittings did not want to budge, so I struggled til I got things in the right position so I could loop the hose up and over...

Well, what did you expect?

Now I don’t understand 😆

Ok, no it’s nothing like that.

Makes a lot of sense. I have noticed myself back chaining such things. Similar: Recently I read somewhere something that made me smack my forehead. Cutting brush near the tip, back chaining greatly reduces thrown chains. As the bar passes thru the stick, the chain has already gone around...

Well….sorta (he said unconvincingly not really understanding)

On the last glamping trip of the year. 60 F and 25mph winds today. Would be beautiful with out the wind. Made cooking breakfast a challenge but we made it work. I might have to switch out propane tanks tonight for the furnace. The wife and kids are having a good time so I’ll survive.

If I understand right, I have done similar breaking forky codom trees down when I can’t get to the bottom or don’t want to stand under it. Plunge 20” 346 in from the top, bury thru. Swing back and forth to cut the back or bottom side like gutting a hinge. Then cut the remaining side down from...

How much barberchairing do you run into? Only a few species here, aside from loaded trees (e.g. felling a support tree holding a tipped tree) want to BC. Thick hinge... lots of fiber pull. Undesireable for butt logs at the mill...$ deduction, to my understanding. If I'm trying to hold a...

@Mick! “Gnarr” 😉

Then again, if we bore the pith out…OTOH, the grain running opposite the hinge will resist bending and maybe increase the chance of chairing. So deep face prevents chairing but you gotta sink it into the rear third! 😆

I think it contributes. The front compression half of a thick hinge could act as a fulcrum to pull the rear half tension fibers. I think it has more to do with whether the face closes before the hinge breaks or not. If the face closes, the log become a claw hammer pulling a nail (right...
