Beavers are fun to watch, and really have a seriously valuable part of the ecosystem to play in regard to riparian habitats. But they can and will kill every tree within tree height and a half of a watercourse they inhabit, before then moving on to the next piece of watercourse. If you happen...

We must not forget that our dear friend Gary is the god of "after dark" tree work...known otherwise, perhaps, as a poor time manager :D. Love a headlamp for cooking and cleanup after, when camping. Use one often when doing electrical or plumbing work in dim corners. Exploring caves, caverns...

Rappel. :)

Those two rules of thumb are not mutually exclusive.

Depending on what I was hauling, it could run from easy to impossible to get that hitch weight right. With a forklift, it was easy...plenty of room to chain it down a few inches forward or aft to get things right. That's all it took, with a small dense load. With the tractor, there was only...

I've used one. USFS rig. Seemed to work well as intended. Kept the hitch weight down. The truck was a Chev. 3500 4x4 six pack with a utility bed. The trailer was a 16 foot flatbed with dual axles, rated 7k lb. each. Electric brakes. The trailer empty weighed about 3k. We hauled some...

That saw already did, Jonny :D.

Dang Jonny...you got it bad :D.

I also hear Paul's point, but definitely agree with Scott's perspective. If you can't figure out whether a bole is too compromised to take the anchoring kerf, you shouldn't be trying to do this work. Caveat emptor.

Agreed.

For that money, you could have a 8k Warn...just sayin' :).

Hella blades. Nice

Beautiful climbing, a joy to watch.

Bingo. The fact that the advertised price changed very shortly after you saw it and ordered makes me inclined to agree that it was just a mistake on the advertisers part. Seller beware sometimes does happen :). About 45 years ago I answered an ad for a batch of canoes for sale, part of a half...

If it's solid, that's a hell of a steal. Well done.

Suuuuure. :D

Another here who doesn't get it...
