And the three to one "Chadha Method" MA rope friendly and mid line attachable

And the Chadha Method up close and personal

That looks way too complicated. Especially since you were flopping it into an open space.

It's not that complicated with the backean. I needed to over come about seven feet before it would go on its own. And wedges alone weren't getting you there. Pulled over nice and slow with the mini. Also it was an ever so slight up hill pull and wanted a 3:1 as extra insurance.

I think it is the info for the shop it was bought from. Dated '94 or 98. They carved it into the top cover too.

I think you got your money's worth out of the bar as well.

Nuh-uh, it still has paint on it.
I did flip it recently because it seemed like it wanted to cut crooked.

How are the rails?
Nutball

I got an Oregon file for squaring rails, but rails get too work hardened for a file. The rails don't look too bad, but I haven't checked closely beyond trying the file. I just plan on getting a new bar soon enough. I have 2 more just as used up chains to go through anyway.
I have one of those bar dressers, and I'm pleased with it. Their files are pretty good, but I prefer Stihl(Vallorbe?). My old dealer reamed me on files, so I got a couple dozen Pfred. I'd estimate they're 90% as good as Stihl, and way cheaper compared to my old dealer price. New dealer is much more reasonable, so I'm back to buying Stihl.

I think pferd makes files for Stihl. They seem to dull fast and are not as aggressive as Oregon. Lately I'd say Oregon is way better than Stihl/pferd/or the files found at Lowes/HD

Twisty cherry in a small backyard. Nice view of the neighbor's fig tree and a we will get a few nice boards out of the logs. It is a shame I had to cut them short to fit between houses.

That's a slick looking lanyard adjuster. What is it?

ART positioner with the swivel option. I really like it. Petzl Zillion is a distant second IMO

Depending on the size of his mini, he may not have enough ass to lift them lengthwise.

"Two is one, one is none"
Yup eucs.
Took me 4 days to get em both down!
One of the more strategic jobs I've done in the last 5 years, but luckily I had a Cracker Jack crew below me.
I call it wood n branch walking, others call it drift lining. Essentially you catch the branches n logs from one tree with a Hobb's n block, but also have a second line attached anchored by the block n Hobb's attached to euc over the LZ. Each piece cut's effectively suspended between high lowering points, and by lowering with one Hobb's while cranking up on the other, you can walk branches n logs sideways quite a ways.
Certainly worked a charm on this job.
