    Hazard tree contract fallers

    Reddog is right, I just found them on page 30 of the Madsen's catalog. They have 4 different sizes depending on your axe size, price is $20-$23.

    That's not my sign, Burnham. It belongs to the State of Oregon DOT. Look, it says so right at the bottom! :lol:

    Hazard tree contract fallers

    If it's riveted then you could make one yourself with a hacksaw and bench vise. All you'd need is a piece of aluminum (such as a traffic sign) for your raw material. :/:

    B, I'm surprised you didn't pull out your throw line and put a rope in that top to pull it down. Or is this strictly up to them to handle it themselves? I betcha if you get a couple closeup pictures of that axe scabbard, you could probably find someone to copy it fairly cheap. ;)

    What is it, an anvil strapped to a length of tree trunk? :lol:

    Hazard tree contract fallers

    Much of my stump work involves removing fence paneling to gain access, so therefore my wedge driver is a 28 oz Estwing claw hammer. I bought an axe but never use it, the hammer is more useful in my 'neck of the woods'. ;)

    I sure am appreciating all this info. I just ordered some more wedges last week including a couple of those steel capped hardhead wedges. Looking forward to trying them out. :)

    There's a small market for bbq restaurants as well as some yankee homeowners who think they might need firewood come wintertime.

    Hazard tree contract fallers

    In these parts, all the wood is junk wood. Taking extra time to make the felling cut at stump level offers me no benefit whatsoever, since the trunk usually gets cut up so the skid steer loader can put it in the truck anyway. I do not care if the machine picks up a 3' piece or a 6' piece to put...

    Hazard tree contract fallers

    Amazing how some people will ignore the simple and obvious laws of gravity when trying to pull over a 60' tree with a choker 6' off the ground. :lol:

    Amazing, who'dathunkit? :|: This was obviously dreamed up by somebody who thoroughly understands the mechanics and physics involved in hingewood. I'm not sure I completely understand how it would work but I'm looking forward to testing it out at my earliest opportunity. Does the vertical cut...

    I open the picture with Paint, draw in my doodles and then hit 'save as' and specify saving it as a .jpg file. PM me your phone number and I'll call you and walk you through it if you want. :)

    Burnham, when you get time I'd like to see a picture or diagram of that vertical boring you were talking about. I can't picture it in my head, and the way I'm reading it just doesn't seem like it would work.
