Jus curious to see if y'all take anything with ya to the woods to get the logs off the ground for bucking. Ya know, to keep your chains out of the dirt and away from those sneaky creek rocks!
+1 Same here. Drop and limb the tree, jack it up and buck it before it gets dirty. Helps me keep the chain sharp. Also use the hook to wiggle the trunk around if necessary to get a better position to limb.Jags said:Timber jack. I don't head into the woods without it.

1) cut about 3/4 through
2) roll (with a peavey)
3) finish cut
4) If I can't get the log in small enough sections to roll and there's no place on the log that's off the ground I'll just dig out a space to cut.

Sorry, it's a log rite brand cant hook with a lift stand that's removable. Got it from the stihl dealer. Handiest tool I've bought in years for wood cutting. I'm 5'10" 175, & can get a 2' X 8' oak round off the ground with it, make 2 or 3 cuts, move & go again. A CCodyWayne718 said:amateur cutter said:Log rite with the stand.
