Rate My Hinge.

Got to be an 8 in those circumstances.

Totty walking by would have me overdoing the back cut due to pressure from hip thrusting and sucking my gut in.

Winching in some leaning roadside trees the other day, I held the tree on the winch while one of the lads cut the gob and back cut. Barkers egg laid at nine o`clock , light wind ,slight drizzle, near knocking off time and totty walking dogs nearby. Whats it worth out of ten ?

 

 

 

The final edge of your gob isn't completely straight and you have left a bit too much meat on the hinge.... this has led to over reliance upon winch power.... lazy!!

 

And I say "pink spots on trees is soooo 80's".

Therefore it's a 5 out of ten from me.

 

cheers, steve

 

p.s.... just noticed a wobble at the start of the back cut too, something must have distracted you. Were you actually looking at the tree ?? So I need to deduct another point for that.... 4 out of ten!

I'm all for a meaty hinge in those circumstances. Stump too high for my liking tho.

8 out of ten meaty hinge all the way whenever the tree has a powerful pull such as a winch or a truck.

Yea non " forestry " stump but 8.5 from me .

[timbernut]

8, nowt wrong with a meaty hinge with winch and I can forgive a higher stump for roadside as more confident of no rot, also possibly left for coppice regen/ gap fill in hedge

No that was just a drainage channel to cope with the heavy rain
