Interested to see what you have in the works always looking for a better way to do something.

Im thinking something along the lines of the jacks you have out there. This thing weighs 60lbs. Its going to get heavier. Springs, bigger plates top and bottom. I dont like the pivot as it is because it can fail. That bolt was 40,000lb shear and i cant believe it bent and didnt break.



It was so wet this fall i moved out of the woods to do this pasture clearcut. Trees were old and it was time. Hes putting organic crops in. I got some good footage out but it was a *b-word. Huge bound up tops

Ugly red oak. 56" on the stump. Bucked a 700bf log out of it.



400 year old burr oak which is crazy old for here. This state was basically slicked off 150 or so years ago so 200 year old plus is cool. My previous record was a 270 year old white oak. I took a cookie off and im planning to make a table. Im officially an OG faller! Hahaha!

It’s a bit of a walk as there is no road until it benches off on top of the Callahans. It sure is some rocky ground. The last picture you can see some daylight through the trees where I’m cut to.

You are sure working in some beautiful country

Sure? We dont have a name for it on the east coast. I just cut down below my notch and into the tree a few inches so it can only tear down to my cut and not up the tree.

The alive stuff is sawlog quality, the dead stuff is mats, railroad ties or firewood depending how crappy it is.
