dont forget the protractor and laser level!

when the axe starts bouncing off them with a bang instead of a thud, you already knew to put a rope in, tis why I try to put a rope in most trees unless its forward leaning I dont have enough ass to bang wedges all day

I might have to steal this line if you dont mind there is a possibility this could maybe apply to everything I own

man I have a history of ropes tied to trees that my equipment could barely budge lol only ever snapped 2 ropes, that throwline and my already very short due to "new" groundie stablebraid atleast I got a groundie now for weekend jobs that runs his own stump business and has half a care to give...

speaking of dyneema, dynaglide is under rated for pulling trees! I got mine tangled in a hackberry that I wanted to set a line in, couldnt get it by hand so I hooked the skidsteer to it, pulled the skidsteer over instead, eventually broke in a knot that was in it (overhand, first time using...

I got a real good idea what they can do, mainly for me its a backup and keeping a kerf open not sense in killing myself swinging an axe to pound wedges when a few clicks on the maasdam, pull with the truck or winch, or any other line in the top will do it normally perfectly fine to be fair in...

we use wedges on almost every tree as a rule, this time I thought id get away with it there was a TON wrong that day, almost every tree I follow the saw with wedges and pull a bit on the top pre load takes up any stretch in the line, and bend in the tree that may occur if something "sits back"...

generally I try to pre load to the same weigh as the back lean, so in theory the hinge can be set just right and the tree not move more than a few inches got it wrong one time tho

the thinking wasnt really there TBH was day 3 of a 1 day job, I had one plan, everyone else keeps throwing in ideas that are distractions, among other things from the looks of it I thought it had lots of back weight to it but it didnt, and this was the outcome, I wanted a shallow notch for wedge...

yeah, I would have gone almost twice as deep but I wasnt the one cutting, fairly sure I said something about it too but its been a while also I was pulling like it had back lean, and no idea how hard to pull since it was my first time pulling something with this truck, turns out it didnt need a...

*raises hand* does pulling so hard you have to double up your 3/4" line with 25K MBS count? 40ft running start with a 25 thousand pound bucket truck and the tree stopped me right as the rope stretch overcame the tree, and we had cut a face cut and back cut into the "stump" left by the BC to...
