I can get'm moving, but when they are real tight together, they can be a pain until you get a hole punched into them.

A TD15E or a D6 solves that fairly well
Even the "bigger" sticks like 18 to 24" dont hold up to well to the blade of of 15 or a 6 ......

Not limblocked but too close to get a good enough swing to have momentum to pass through whatever is in front of them. You can domino some of them but you have to line up a a pretty good one for the knocker. These are so tall and spendly that they hardly have any tops when they land in a bunch...I don't do it very often at all.

Given a choice I like to lay the trash and small stuff first, but sometimes you just have to clear the deck, incoming....

here what I do on smaller pine some times. don't notch um, cut hinge off. easy busted. yes this is dangerous. I do not advocate anyone should do this. but you will get the most speed this way and without a notch it can roll freely. be forwarned you will have no control after you cut the hinge and they can and will bounce all over the place, even back at ya. this is not for every one, if ya try it be on your toes. ok lemme have it busted

Hmmmm Roberte what you think???


All I can think of at the mo is you may have to put one down as a sacrifice (kinda) to allow ya to get going so to speak.


Just take care tho swinging things that are small is imo a bit harder as you don't get as much action on them

 

[treeslayer2003]

better course of action; jus cut your normal way and let the skidder sort it out that's what its for.
I have done that domino thing, its risky too

Batten down the hatches TC. If your town gets hit I'll swing down and pick up TS and be down to arkansas in short order
