Wonder how many tree jacks get sold each year?

Thanks Sean, informative reply.

How effective is a wedge on huge trees? Do you still get decent lift?

I think with jacking trees, the fact that there might be wind factor that would give a sudden pressure release then set back, it's probably not a very desirable thing for a regular bottle jack that doesn't have built in protection for that, as opposed to slowly reaching maximum pressure gradually.

Guys that have a Silvey and use it regular, don't much seem to complain about the cost.

Wonder if you could tap for a gauge with your jack, Burnham?

It doesn't seem like it would be very hard to attach a plate with springs like on a Silvey, assuming you could weld onto a bottle jack. Isn't there a thing about a regular jack possibly blowing out with the change in pressure that a tree could give, or is that just the hoses?

I have thought about making one, but the cautions about using a regular jack for tree work have stopped me.

Do you mean a proper tree jack, or just a regular bottle jack with a plate?
