Are the dogs ok with cats?

@davidwyby this is still doing the rounds, appeared on my fb reels. Always fun reading the comments.

The swing out station can come out to the left and the right. From the right, with the belt and covers in the way it’s not good. From the left (pictured) it’s better than you think, because there’s only one lever to operate (as opposed to the two levers, ergo two handed operation of the Rayco)...

Beating on a horse’s grave… I think tree shape is relevant. On a round tree with no face, the uncut portion is a triangle. The forward point toward the lay is going to resist and the tree is going to seek the path of least resistance, one side or another. If you have ever ridden a 3 wheeler...

Re: bending vs pulling hinge, I had a bulb on that one too. Buckin went east and Humboldted some hardwoods. Fiber pull. The more closed Humboldt pulls fiber, where as an open or vertical hinge face bends and breaks the fibers before it closes.

Usually when the two cuts are compared, they are drawn symmetrically, one up and one down. In real life, a Humboldt tends to be less open and deeper and a conventional more vertical, open, and shallow. Proponents of the Humboldt say that the conventional wastes wood off the butt log. Guys...

How’s the visibility of the cut?

Light bulb on why the deep face prevents barberchair. Moves the transition or division point of rigid log.

New grinder earning money.

Except for that one time I forgot to True story

I have 7/8", I don't use it that often, but it's nice to have. With bigger equipment comes the option for bigger pulls, if you have the situation to make it make sense and the gear to pull it off. (punny)

If only I had time I would. Just got 'home'. I did sleep every night of this trip, which is different. Also a two week trip instead of one week. I didn't even get time to call 2 childhood friends over the last 2 weeks. Saw Miriam's brother for 40 minuted when he picked me up at the airport...

Someone gave me about 100’ altec 1.25” rope. So that’s what I use if I’m not using winch cable. Sometimes both.

I had a job where the tree must go this way. 110’ 50” DBH cottonweed slight back weight over the transmission lines for an industrial park. Big c-sucker of a tree slightly swampy ground so it was full of water. The city didn’t want to cut it, utilities said it was outside their ROW( doubtful)...

Why go larger than 3/4"?

I’ve tried flaking. Not for me. 😁

I’ve got a 200’ 1” that I flake into a 30 gallon garbage can, stupid heavy!

My ears are just fine because they put on hearing protection at the words "shotgun" and "loud"
