lol i have used my axe on about 5 trees that were over 5dbh otstir:. and yes they were wild trees. i had used a couple wedges on most of them and they were almost over so instead of wasting time and hammering in another wedge i just lifted them over. theirs no reason to condemn somebodys idea just cause u cut (wild trees) lol. although looking closely at the felling bar it doesent look like u get quite the leverage that i do. the maul has a 36 inch handle thats twisting a 2.5" head in the cut vs the other thingy you are basically just inserting it and lifting instead of twisting if that makes any sense lol. thanks for the part numbers ill hafto check them out and see if they fit my budget lol :msp_thumbup:
I've got something that will fit your budget logger and work every bit as good as a felling lever. A leafspring spring out of a pick-up works ,just pick a leaf of whatever length you like ,I have a long and a short one,the taper at the end allows them to slide easily into the cut. I usually use it with the curve facing to the ground, works better than the ones you buy. Leaves out of a heavy duty or 3/4 ton are great,very best of steel. Try it,but if you get any ideas about patenting it I want my cut!!! The bit of give in the spring seems to make them lift even better and I've never broke one. I suppose if you want to feel like you've gotten something all shiny and new you could paint it up to match your saw colors !
So . . . . anybody sharpen their plastic wedges after they get banged up?
