I have a BMG rake that the bristles all rusted off so I want to use that old carrier to hold the track section. Easy on easy off save the bristles for turf clean up not snow pushing. I built a plow for the mini but that’s too big for daily use on a job. And the rake carrier is fairly small and...

I’ve been thinking about making another BMG rake but out of an old mini track instead of the brush for snow removal.

Split Norway removal. And snow removal brought to you by BMG rake.

We got 12” over the weekend and another 1.5” this morning. I’ll take the 4”. lol

I don’t know any retired tree peeps that didn’t go do a job here or there.

That’s a handsaw not a chainsaw fyi David.

So you retire and post more videos than when you were working? :P:occasion5:

How? It’s not like the rubber just let go suddenly. Either they are def or straight up clueless. Perhaps both.

I don’t think they had much experience.

Spunky lill thing!

I have and it’s not pretty, it almost looks like they tried to take wraps around the trunk from the ground. Lots of spaghetti.

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.

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 use a plumb bob on difficult to read trees. Then I look at the canopy, two limbs going this way six going that way and what not. More limbs under the lean than ahead of the lean is bad ju ju for a good outcome in a tree of that mass. I’d cut the limbs off under the lean first.

If the tree is reasonably balanced wedges alone will work. But if the trunk is back leaning and there 20”-30” limbs 60’ long under the lean you ain’t wedging nothing. Especially in a five foot DBH oak, many many tons going the wrong way. Pull, jack, and wedges are in order, stack the deck in...

I can’t see 5/8” fitting. It’s sometimes finicky getting 1/2” thru.

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...

Poor technique plus ego, bad things happen. Just a matter of time. And what’s up with that pile of spaghetti up in the tree? Can’t tie a knot so tie lots.
