    That talk about big deep skidder ruts takes me back to the 60's .Locally they used old A-frame lift ton and a half converted grain trucks they'd chain up .Lift a big oak log and charge through deep mud you wouldn't think the could get through and left ruts that are still there today some fourty...

    After looking at that last vid I see how it works and well at that .I have some reservations of how well it would work in our fuller canopied hard woods though .Then again conditions dictate methods so the point is moot .Nice job .

    So then that's an alternative to a tapered hinge ? Well now I've had them twist but not because I wanted them to .Once gravity takes over all you can do is run --quickly .

    They don't have any weight to them .If you leave too thick of a hinge the damned things will just hang going over .There you are danged little tree sticking out at a about 45 degrees going no where and you with thumb in azz pissed .

    Some time in the early 80's we clear cut a 5 acre woods of big hickories and second growth pecker pole ash trees .These dead EAB ash we have around here now are hard as a rock but those nice green ones some thirty years you could fly through . Hauled those ash poles out and ran them through a...

    Fence posting is one thing but I'm not so sure about those angled cuts . Usually you just make a little cut on top and run it up from the bottom and it folds over .Strange method but it obviously worked .

    I can't say as I've ever seen one cut from 10-12 feet in the air but it worked out okay ,good job . Now as far as root hogging one out with a dozer of which I've done many ,you're better off with the whole tree .

    It's rather difficult for me to take a vid of a take down .I can't cut the damned thing and take pictures at the same time . Mrs Smith does okay except with her health problems in this weather about like the Sahara desert she has breathing problems so that won't work .In cooler weather once the...

    Beer yes indeed .The sun is in the western sky and the Buds' in the refridgerater and here I sit with my thumb in my ass missing the sunset .Back in an hour or two . Hmm ,now come to think of it I've never seen a triple yoke of skid loaders .I have seen a triple yoke of oxen though and that's...

    I'm not exactly certain what the point is in showing a take down where you knock over or delimb half the trees in a persons back yard .Anybody can do that . Nor can I ever figure what the purpose of nit picking a removal which is safely done although not exactly to another persons liking ...
