Got the blue-light special on my mill, no frills or extras! So I don't have any kind of toe boards, hydraulic or manual. Just a row of cross-bunks.
Shim and a prayer?
Only matters on the first 2 cuts, right? After that it is what it be... ffcheesyRead More

Hi all,

Has anyone had anything to do with the EGV 60 AHK Tajfun logging winches?

PTO driven, electro hydraulic system, can run either pendant switch or remote control.Read More

They appear to have about the same amount of lift. Size of tree? A longer wedge would be easier to pound in but on a 12-in DBH tree, a 10-in wedge is too long?Read More

I don't know if this is the right section of the forum to ask this question, and if not I hope someone will move it. I live in the Adirondacks now and came across this machine on the trail to High Falls on the Oswegatchie River, several miles south of Cranberry Lake, while backpacking around the...
