In Dan`s vid the first tree, was he trying to do what happened there, I mean pulling it away far enough so it could then drift to the side and fall in a good spot, or did it give up the ghost too early?

I think I'd rather pull bigger rad back leaning trees with a puller, than smaller ones, because you have all that wood to work with to get them leaning right. Smaller trees not so, but have the advantage of less weight. I think somebody smart said that almost every tree is different.

I was thinking that too, Pete, about lower tie points. With a strong enough puller that you are cutting and pulling alternately to get it leaning in the right direction before tripping it, fairly low points of connect can be most suitable.

I seldom ever use wedges when pulling a tree. I know they get recommended for backup, but when pulling they loosen up immediately and the back cut gap gets large quick. There might have been cases where I should have used a wedge too, but things worked out. Two pull lines, one to cover side...

I use a Maasdam pretty regular, but sometimes it seems a little sketchy with the disengagement when there is slack put in the rope, I mean when working by yourself. A great tool, but the Tirfor for when absolutely no ifs ands or buts.

Nice hinge I thought too. I wonder if he has a Tirfor?
