I actually would feel much better about that failure, knowing it was not bad material, but rather bad installation of the swage. Poor quality cable you cannot fix...poor quality assembly, you can.

Looks like a bad swage from here...lolz

Properly kept, mulberry (especially the fruitless) can be lovely trees. Being from the desert, I've never seen one produce pollards that size in a single year, it's pretty impressive. Stephen's photos kinda make it hard to grasp the scale, but I know just how big that black trailer is. Lots of...

Doh

Fruitless Mulberry. Morus alba. Been pollarding this one for years. Couple of the leads are showing decay. One is dying. The smallest of 5. Those will come off next year. Leaving the 3 larger.

True re mulberry but my guess is that is definitely not one in the pic

Looked at a walnut that I'll be milling. 6'2" across the stump.

I would expect that cutting with a lean pulls more fiber with a standard backcut as the hinge is only cut until its time to exit. A backstrap trigger for a bore cut would allow a thinner hinge if desirable.

Was it spliced then swaged?

Faulty crimp?

Mulberry? Underrated tree for pollarding.

Looked for the name or number on the sleeve Esco Realized it didn’t break, it was probably improperly swaged.

He must eat well with a name like Diet Rich

The red one is much prettier Also not exactly apples to apples. Red is running 34” of full comp chiselbit and 461 30” of skip. The wood feels like cottonwood, a little harder but fibrous. Drag on the chain.

I haven’t figured out why but I miss shots with the Jonny. The stihl has more torque, the Jonny is faster. I think they tend that way from the factory but the way they were ported makes it more so. 461 resists dust in it’s air filter and clutch better.

You are not surprised by this revelation, I hope? :P :lol:

Outstanding!

That's plenty of radius. I think you are correct...less that top grade cable is likely the culprit.

I found dirt and golf balls In a fork

Yes. The one my FIL used to be the superintendent at. :-/ one of them anyway. Getting a makeover so we just had to keep them off the greens. Almost had to walk on water. Ran the 461 and 2175 back to back all day. I think the stihl is better.
