Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

I always thought that when sharpening you wanted to just kiss the front of the tooth then the gullet then the back. However, I was watching a You Tube video that said to touch the back first. Am I doing it wrong or is the video?

Cleaning the gearmatic 19 winch on my Timberjack 404. I've removed primary brake band and both clutch bands. I can't get the anchor pin out to remove the secondary brake band. Its really stuck. Any suggestions as to how to get the pin out?

Much appreciated.
