The "Not So Pro" discussion thread...of course Pros are welcome!

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

Yeh, I do that quite often on the pine poles. Yeh they move quite a bit on ones around 12 inch stump that are really tall!

you keep ya head down and stay safe ok

 

[roberte]

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

I might adjust the layout. I might walk it , go cut another part of the area and come back after I thought about it.

hey randy, what model echo was in that pic a few pages back? 610?

That little thing was a CS302, I won it at a rifle match, third place, 1000 yards with a 30-40 Krag.

Both and soft dutchman. Also through a blocker in a regular humbolt. I pulled the soft dutchmans off quite a few times today. Lost one on it;s side... the tree dropped too low mid swing and popped the holding corner.

When you say soft dutch are ya swinging mild back learners??? and blocker I'm not following??? If that a blocked out then that will hold a stick more

The rain or the wittle pines?

For the rain build an ark.

For the little pines, not much can get a little pole moving except limbing them first:msp_biggrin: Lots of times the little guys have just as many branches on em as the big ones, and they tend to act like a parachute. But big wide open face with a small kerf dutch, or sever the hold wood as they start to go over.

For something like this a clear cut situation makes it a little easier to pound em into the ground, if your thinning... well... sucks to be you...

 

[bustedup]

Randy what would you suggest to solve TC's prob???

Oh northman I found a set of spurs lol ........

 

[twochains]

The problem with adjusting the lay on todays set was the timber split and the pine thicket turned solid oak thicket so I turned my lay along the oak timber then T boned them. The timber was all headed towards the oak timber and even though hand manipulation worked a little , it was hard for me to stay deep enough in the side ways lay before turning back straight...LOL! Ya get all that?? So...the tall whips didn't have enough punch to come through the limbs of the oak thus clogging...I put 4 on top of each other before crashing down...barely!

apart from that lol

Yes, mild back leaners with swept top. The blocker just kept me away from a heavy topped post oak...I just used it for re-assurance.
