A gecko?
Tree is diseased (canker) and doomed eventually. Maybe I should have cut it back more but it was getting close to the main base of the codominants, I dunno.
Guys had 9 smaller ones in a row all sick I took down a couple years ago. The trimmer guys might have spread it, or spores...
Keeps from dulling better pulling out.
If the bar is long enough and the saw has the power (all mine do :-D), I plunge through the center and rotate so the top and bottom of the bar are both cutting but pulling out of the dirty bark.
I really like the husky roller guide in the field.
Two if you swipe over. Dead…they tend to be hollow rotten brittle untrustworthy. Fear of breakage. 15k winch on a hill. Back and side weight, stood up with the winch, then drive for speed. Line was probably about level. I figured I’d rather pull harder low than have something bust and total...
