With a real gnarly back weight I do the same, take it off, or pull it.

It’s funny that comes up. After slamming one tree after another for a couple days, I’ve got a lot of felling stuff rattling around in my nugget. Wedging is way harder on back weighted short wide canopy “yard trees” vs. conifers. The hardwood resists bending more. The center of gravity is way...

On an another tree, they nearly ran up our legs.

Needs that song, move bitch! get out the way!

OMG that squirrel 🐿️!!!! Best slo mo ever! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Was it a brand new chain or a chain that is cutting like an absolute razor?

Wedges aren’t that effective in trees with large canopy spreads. You might get the log to tip but the back weight can balance out a lot of wedge. My SOP for big pull trees is to cut some of the back weight off first. They had the gear on site it wouldn’t have taken that much more time to rig...

Multi-prong approach. I have wedged some big trees. A bottle jack, if you don't have a real tree jack is a whole lotta 'go over there" with plenty of tight wedges. I've only jacked big trees with Silvey jacks. He called for more rope force which went from whole lotta (insufficient) pull to...

The monster thin steel wedges they used to tip the redwoods before jacks. I’m not dumb enough to think you could wedge a tree with essentially cedar. I’ve tried euc and it doesn’t hold up.

Sitting too hard back, you would destroy a redwood wedge before you would get it to sink. So. Still no. Or did you mean "redhead" And still, hard head would serve better or magnesium IMO

I just meant if you were gonna insist on wedging, that’s all that would do it.

Fug no

Maybe some old redwood wedges

Wedges probably aren't the answer for that hog

Wedging trees is an art that many are not familiar with. Instead of pulling harder, more wedging!

The Dunning Kruger Effect comes to mind.

Or rent it. Or take the bosses gear out for a side job......

I doubt that they are brand new. Just saying... Easy to get a new truck and vehicle wrap, hi-viz and PPE'd out and look pro with minimal experience. Easy to have the same reliable equipment for a long time if you aren't breaking or losing it, if you bought quality, and have it look...

Congratulations on the progress!
