Gob was far too deep

 

I had a fell go wrong today

[Mozza]

Do tell Dean??

Stevie you must have a good 2 minuets not climbing that.

Felling a 2ft DBH syc today, little bit of side lean but nothing to worry about, I knew it would go 45 degrees off to the side when the hinge broke.

 

Put the gob in, bored in then released and it just fell over 90 degrees to the hinge

 

Hinge was deantastic, wood was good, no explanation ??

 

Luckily it rolled down the trees to the side which were to be felled and laid gracefully down with the tips brushing against a half built garage wall

If nothing got broke then "technically" in my book it didnt go wrong

 

 

 

Strange one tho Dean!!

[Mozza]

Aye, but it doesn't do your heart any good
