That Husky tool looks like it is very useful, I want one!!!
Those porkys are very destructive, they kill a lot of hard Maple, etc.
Most of the ones up near my cabin seem to die early due to lead poison!

P,u,s,s,y Willow , fecking censorship .
The felling lever is a handy tool , the longer ones give you more leverage on bigger trees , that one slides in a hammer holder so you can carry on your belt .
I like them porkys Mike , not my woods LOL

How much did that run you?
I can tell that your cabin and your dog are not in those woods, your attitude toward them would change very fast!
Nothing like returning to a cabin after one has chewed through the wall, and they have chewed, pissed and crapped on EVERYTHING!!!
They even started eating the treated wood.

Strange, up here they stay away from cabins , the raccoons and bears get them .
I've dealt with more than one dog and quills over the years , I'm no stranger to quills .
WX last nite, started as thunder/lightening, turned to rain, a good down pour then to hail, back to rain and ice and finished as snow.
Sun finished off the snow, it's all gone. Now it's 30deg F and windy. The cat didn't want to go out, opened the door, she looked out and turned around , back to bed.
I used another match to fire the smoke dragon, cheaper than keeping the fire going but burning culls and uglies.
Give it a couple days and back to working on that gift from the tree service, So far I've found six eye bolts and two pieces of rebar in that load, never hit the chain.
I did hit dirt with the 32" bar, not used to using that long a blade. The 24" bar was too short for that wood.
Now I have to sharpen the chain all 105 DL's. I like short bars, chains are cheaper and sharpen faster.
I did get a load of noodles,
I'm happy to say, this is next winter's firewood. And I get to run my saws.

turned this giant mulberry that's a cs490 not a big saw but gives an idea of how big the tree was.
into this over the past week. Crapy cell phone picks don't do that pile justice.

Crappy day out here so I figured I would just stay in the cab today. Grapple works good on the blow down cedars. Pic testing the leverage and adjusting the tire chains. I still haven't got it mounted on the back yet but have everything built for it to mount there. I think on the back will work much better. The rear end is just too light to lift anything with it on the loader it will pull good but no chance of lifting a decent tree and driving. Should save a lot of on and off when I do get it put on the rear end.
Looks like you are having fun with that toy!

Scrounged 4 logs from a state pile.
Trimmed a couple trees. Can anyone ID this? Semi stringy like Elm, but it's yellow.

I don't show my wife those pictures too often. It's just leverage and hydraulics. That's why I'm lifting so far up the tree. Just don't try and drive like that or you will break something. Like I did on my old 1520. I did end up getting it on the ground but it took a bit of playing around. Bunch of cedars and 2 more ash trees all tangled together in that mess. And there is a creek under it too so I can't get to the other side. Glad I didn't waste money on rotator, the chain works really good, for pulling out anyway. Have to see how it does on loading the trailer yet.
