I personally am not a fan of landing spars on multiple chunks set like those are. If it hit just right, it could propel them outward, which in some instances, could be an issue.

Tight drop zone there. Why, if it had missed, it may have hit...well...some of that flat ground.

Must be a pie eating contest in his area...

While we eagerly await our master hinger to chime in...

Enough of the belittling already! Murph’s hinges are so fantastic they can not only pull heavy-leaning trees 475° against the lean, they can also pull semis out of ditches, can sing a fair tune (if you’re not too picky), and can also do minor home repairs and herd cows. They’re fair at...

Do people squint a lot when talking to you?

My deepest apologies and condolences! For one so fluent in hingery, your reading comprehension seems sadly lacking. We were discussing hinges and holding power. I assumed (my bad!), that you had a basic grasp of English. HOLDING power and PULLING power are two entirely different things. You...

Win-win-win! Murph don’t need no schtinkin’ APTA! He has mastered the hinge!

So you’re NOT going to Pennsylvania for Murph’s next seminar? Gee, Burnham! Between you and Stig, you’re gonna wreck his show!!!

What word would that be? I don’t base someone’s ability on their YouTube vids. Believe it or not, folks were doing lots of stuff before YouTube was ever thought of. I saw a YouTube vid while ago of a guy showing how to cut a tree branch 20’ in the air with one of those chain saw cords. I guess...

I’m not a bit surprised that my comment went over your head. If it’s HOLDING POWER I need, I set a 5/8” or 3/4” line to HOLD it. It doesn’t go slack as soon as the tree moves. Rather it is set somewhat perpendicularly to the trees intended lay to HOLD it all the way. I set guy lines quite often...

Puddin’ is a tough mentor!

Why, anyone who doesn’t sing the praises of the Fatboy and his two Dutch buddies!

While hinges of all sorts have their place in logging, whether it be to avoid hangups/collateral tree damage, or to orient it best for skidding/recovery, anyone who’d go around felling trees around homes/properties trusting only a hinge is a mite light in the cranium. I’d guess 30%-40% of the...

Sounds like you and the two Dutchmen ought to start a band!

I dunno...it kinda favors the Murph...trim the ears and comb the hair...

A hinge is just that. A pivot point. A barn door requires a much heavier hinge than a cabinet door. Add a wheel to that door and you can use a much lighter hinge. Comparing thin, elegant straight hinges to some of those side-leaner hinges is like comparing origami art to a balled up sheet of...

I thought “holding power” was relative to the situation at hand. If it’s all about thick, jagged, torn hinges, I guess I’m a novice. If it’s true holding power I need, I’ll trust a well-set rope over a hinge any day.

I’m sure Murph will accept your handwritten apology, assuming you write it in English and don’t use any big words...
