Darn! I know better than this!

That’s how we learn and thank God you weren’t hurt.

 

HIGHLY recommend reading the book... "to fell a tree" by Jeff Jepson. Was recommended to me by a person who runs his own tree service for many years. Talks about how to handle leaners so they don't barber chair and kill you. This is a great book and I keep it with me in the woods when dropping trees so I can reference it.

 

Yep I agree a lot of good info in that book. I have it.

 

Chainsaws taught me the rule that once you feel tired there is no "I'll just finish up one more".

No injuries, but the chaps took a beating.

 

Thanks for sharing that! And glad there were no injuries.

 

took it down safely this evening.

 

Ok, nice job !! How about a pic of the whole tractor ?

 

I'll let them know how they should be behaving.

 

And I have a couple of these smaller ones too that pull their weight around here.

 

I have a fondness for the little cases myself, I have a 195, 220, 224, 446 and 448. Tough little beasts more than capable of pulling their weight. Thanks for the pics.

 

You got it done, No injury and moving on

 

You are a good man to have shared this so that others might learn from it.

 

Great tractor hoard! Those things can really help when things go wrong. And also keep a guy from working himself to death packing wood or pushing wheelbarrows.
