yellow wedge

Aussie. Be careful when using the yellow wedge mate. -If the hinge fails, pushing below the center of gravity can make things fall back on your head.

Wow, i guess pix are 'legal' once more.

Below the CG push doesn't leverage on CG; but also you are apllying force inbetween a 'pinch' i think; imagining the Stump pushing all that weight up, and CG pushing down, so push is straighter forward i think, rather than rotational; because of these 2 compounding factors.

Or something like that;
:alien:

a lot of what we all know goes out the window with machines like that,another freind who works as a faller,skidder driver was going to come out with a newer bigger cat and simply push it over stump and all,but 1 i had to leave all other trees untouched,so i needed direction went up took a few large limbs off that were out top side 100'+realisticly it was a fairly straight forward tree.the cat tryed to pick up whole log,it could but keept tipping.a good notch and backcut really makes excavator work inpressive,speed,ease

Aussie, how old are you? Your profile is lacking.

I've been down under once.
