It brings the knife down to contact the log with no pressure, as long as the pedal is pressed the ram doesn't do the return stroke, you can keep it pressed and squeeze the control levers to do the power stroke

A small builders trowel or Guaging trowel is perfect for the job and has another use in clearing soil away from around the base of stumps so double value

Just a word of warning to some, I have had quite a few customers, especailly log customers, who have come to me for tree work and logs because of my posts on here and my stance re topping etc. Saying that, I have probably lost a few customers too

I would test the moisture content of the soil beneath the conifers, soil depth can vary over a matter of feet, you only have to look at lawns to see the dramatic effect soil depth variation can have. Most of the conifers I have come across like this have been due to shallow soil and dryness and that is despite wet summers If the soil appears dry an irrigation system wouldn't do any harm

I only ask because a lot of craning vids I have seen, ( not saying reg's) have been step cuts. So the reason behind cutting straight thru is you have some forewarning of whats happening re pretension on the lift ??

We know it was intentional, it said so in the vid, that didn't stop the butts nearly knocking him out a couple of times It's ok to be pinned to the tree and suffer fatal internal injuries as long as you dont shock load the piece being lowered ??? You do come out with some funny things
