Wedges for felling!

[john k]

You can use plastic inserts for the high lifts, you don't need any rings on them! Clarks are the only place that sells them!

I'm looking to buy a couple and I like the idea of the plastic version, but as far as I can see the inserts are only available as replacements.

 

Do they actually sell high lift wedges complete with the plastic inserts, or do I have to start off with wooden ones?

Thanks to all the above posters, i've used twist wedges for felling before, they can get back leaning trees to vertical and over in no time, but i do appreciate what Chris said, that they can slip.

 

With that in mind i'm back to the hi-lifts, but i saw these, again from Oschenkopf, the angles look similar to the hi lifts, but the wedges are solid aluminium. I'm keen on metal just because they drive in so well.

Cheers for all your help and advice!

the stihl wedges are actually oschenkopf ones just re-branded, the same goes for most of the stihl axes, hooks, log picks and felling levers
