I've still got my last set of uniforms from the Air Force. I last put them on in 2000. I tried them on last week. I can still fit into my uniform. Hat. No brag.

I originally meant a tag line to help swing the limb, not a rigging line tied above to support the weight of the limb. I can see where having BOTH would be very beneficial.

I imagine I will. Thanks Mick.

I think I will. Where do you guys usually decide to cut the top? A certain diameter? Small enough to redirect by hand?

No fence anymore. I'm honestly just wanting to do it to do it. More of a curiosity thing than anything else. If I do it where I can't tear anything up I'll have an idea what to plan for when it's next to a house or over a dogwood tree that grandpa planted fifty years ago... I'm just getting a...

Skwerl, I had thought of that as well. I'm getting fairly decent at figuring my balance points and getting the limbs to go where I want them. I think this situation would really be affected by where the rigging was placed as well, whether it was directly above or off to the side. That whole...

Humor me... I had a lady get ahold of me about removing a 35' pine tree along her fence row. She's got twelve in total. A couple have died and been cut down already over the years. The pine is still green in places and brown in others and she'd rather have a hole than look at the tree dying. I...

Butch, by "hinged it around" do you mean just starting your cut on the opposite side of the limb from where you want it to go and just cut through?

I believe that Mick. Thanks.

I figured it would be. No matter where your hinge ASKS the limb to go, gravity is TELLING it where it will go. I didn't know if there was way to coax it into doing something it didn't want to do as a whole instead of taking small bites. Once again, I was just asking to satisfy cutiousity more...

I figured species would play a huge role in it. The ones I've noticed around here lately are Maple for the most part. Basically, I spot a tree while I'm driving and try to figure out how I'd cut a limb to clear whatever obstacle I see it above. Or, I try to figure out where the weight is in an...

Hi all. I've got a (hopefully) quick question for you all. If you've got a low limb that is above something you'd rather not hit (roof, fence, decorative tree, etc.), how do you handle it? Can you notch it on one side vertically and back cut the other and get it to swing some assuming you've...

I've never had any trouble. I stuff a rag between the sling and edge of the receiver if there's a side pull and Ive never had any damage to my sling. My reciever is not oily. I keep it cleaned up with a wire brush along with the hitch slug.

I have a 6' heavy lifting strap that I have used. 14,000# I believe. I tie a bowline through one loop. I pull the pin in the reciever, remove the hitch with ball and put it in the bed of the truck. Slide the other end of the strap into the receiver and slide the hitch pin through the loop of the...

My favorite so far was dropping a small pine into the corner of a fenced yard. I had had the fence within 20' or so on each side but the corner was 36' away. The "stick up to your eye" trick I learned here put the tip of the tree at 40' base to tip, so I cut it 4' off the ground with an open...

I think the soybean farmers around here use some sort of graphite for their gravity wagons to keep the beans from sticking to the sides. Might be a little dirty though? It's slick stuff though!

It seems that parts are a little hard to find and therefore a little more expensive. If I go I'll check the oil, let it run and see if I get much blow-by on the rings.

After further review....it appears to be a 35 horse Wisconsin. Any opinions on the engine?
