Sounds like it’s time to cut some windows.

Started out bucking and limbing on the landings at around 10 running 357’s when they were brand new running 28’s. After that spent time breaking in falling timber with 372’s and 385’s for quite a few years burnt a few of those old girls down. Got into my 20’s falling timber daily running the...

If it was me I’d try to dedicate one grinder per size of chain chassis as consider something it’s quick to adjust the gauge for the chain. We have three different round grinders an Oregon 511ax it’s so so it’s setup to do rakers on shorter chains, a Silvey 511 rounder grinder which does a nice...

@davidwyby All wedges are great till they break that’s what I normally have happen with any of them. If you’re getting bounce back try using two wedges at once and alternate between the two that will help with the bounce back. Another thing is placement of the hinge can make a huge difference...

Narrow face with a kicker on the stump will get a little jumping forward, slipping sideways is definitely not something you’ll probably ever need same with slipping them back off the stump. A lot of these “tricks” are things used in the brush to save something out more then it normally would in...

If swinging is fun try slipping them off the stump there’s a time and place for both they’re just tools in your belt.

Low enough yet?
