Thank you guys. I only really want to jack up the logs to keep me less bent over and eliminate chance of the chain hitting the ground. I think I'll stick with my original plan of that Woodchuck timber jack mentioned up above. It's light and large enough for anything I'd be cutting up here.
If you are unsure and thinking about Log Rite ( again this is entirely up to you ) check around for their products sold through some of their dealers. I recently was looking for some of their things and I could actually buy them from a dealer for their products cheaper than I could buy them direct , and free shipping. Living in Connecticut where they are located I figured they would be the best deal buying direct = NOPE. Not the case Shop around is all I can say.
No problem. Not only are we here to help you spend money but we are here to save you money too. This way you have extra to spend on something else. Glad to help!
Like the 500i in my signature line “Needed it like a hole in my head” can’t say it isn’t the cats azz though hey maybe you need one too!
So, I used the new Woodchuck Dual today for the first time. I wasn't able to use the Jack attachment because the rounds were too heavy. But, the tool works great. The rounds were red oak 29" diameter 4' long. I just cut them half way thru, then rolled it over and cut from the other side. They were still too big to lift, so I split them into quarters. I think I'll go get more tomorrow. They're about 6 miles from my house and the people seem anxious to get rid of it. I like the way the 1/4 rounds stack. They go together like puzzle pieces
I have a set - one cant hook, one peavey. 60". Stihl. Yes sir. I have 2 optional log stands and currently only the cant hook has it. Been using the peavey more as a rolling tool and the cant hook as a lift-a-log-off-the-ground-so-I-don't-hit-my-chain tool. If it's too heavy to lift onto the log stand then I just use either one to maneuver the log. Had to tighten the allen bolts on the log stand a few times but otherwise no issues. Has come in super handy dandy many times and well worth the money. You need the right tool for the right job.
