Finished the tractor project in the dark, with freezing rain, because it isn't going to get any better any time soon.

I think there is a lot of back lean, and to the side more towards the camera.

Doing that type of thing to a criminal is a way to lose a lot of windows or worse.

When it falls, the far, backleaning lead is more visible. I'm looking at it all on a phone.

Is the big bucket truck pulling the medium truck? Anyone zoom in on the knot/ mess? Looks like they could have improved their rope angle and rope height.

I don't know the lean. I see a potential for a strong back leaner or a reasonable neutral or front leaner. Probably not a front leaner (bet money). Any rope breaking and tree rocking back could cause failure. If they had a bad spot or a knot, it could be easy to break a rope. We broke a...

If you need more pull than your hands allow and/ or are trying to reduce finger strain, a weight lifting strap might help for starting. They choke on a lifter's wrist with a girth hitch, then are wrapped around the bar so the lifter's fingers pinch the strap to the bar, transferring some force...

@0.16 box blew up, but then you see the guy holding a completely undamaged box.

Not the best and you need a thicker hinge, load up the jack cut a little, load up the jack cut a little, kind of affair. I just went with oak because that tree looks like the big oaks around here.

I can still feel the pain learning how NOT to start the 090 and that was 20 years ago.

Yeah, with that single point of view, and from that angle and distance, very hard for me to say before further evidence presented itself :).

It’s hard to say not being there. At first glance it looked like it had head lean with the limbs closer to the road, but you only have one angle view point. The trunk could have had more back lean than shown. Obviously enough to break that pull line before the COG came ahead to the lay.

I heard an NPR report just this morning from some AI image creation specialists that said it can be very difficult to tell now. I dunno, grain of salt...but I am clueless. How did you "just know"?

In another thread elsewhere on the site I lamented my increasing difficulty at times starting my 064. Due mostly to arthritic hands and decreased hand strength coupled with the lack of compression release on an 85cc saw. I have my bad days and my better days. The kickback can hurt, besides...

In this case I saw these vids on twitter and Grok confirmed it. But generally you just know.

How can you tell, @Mick! The tech is getting so good these days...and I'll readily admit to not being suspicious enough.

Good stuff!

AI should be required to have a disclaimer. Or banned. Or I should brush bandit my phone...

To be clear, how do you all read the weight distribution of That tree? Not How does one read the weight distributing of A tree?

I mentioned something you may or may not have read...basket-ing the rope through a crotch and portawrapping both legs, together, way more than doubles the strength of a single-leg line with a knotted termination. A tensionless hitch is better than a R-Bowline, but requires up-close setting, not...
