Title: Cant hooks
Post by: Jerry on November 13, 2011, 12:02:50 PM
Just ordered two Logrite cant hooks one 24" and one 60" I have an old 48" wood handle one that came from Foley Bellsaw years ago. I have been reading the rave reviews forum members have been giving them and decided to order. Thought the 24" would be handy to turn smaller cants.

Can't go wrong with LogRite cant hooks!  We got a couple of 24"ers and a 36" and a 60".  Can't have too many cant hooks.

The next thing that you will do is replace that 48".   ;D

Imagine what you can do with that 60... This is just a 36 mill special

 ;D  Logs that Aussies fell are easier to roll.   :)

That is because they are upside down.

It's not the cant hook, it's the weight behind it ;)

I have quite a collection of cant hooks, old and new. The ones I use are Logrites!

I just ordered another twister from Kevin this morning for taking down hung trees.
It's a sixty with a smaller hook.

why the smaller hook, Kevin?

Dan;
I have the 9 5/8" on a sixty now but find it's too big for some smaller trees so Logrite is installing the 8 1/8" hook on a sixty.
That cedar bush I work in is a tight stand and more than half of the trees I'm falling get hung in other trees.
I either have to work the hinge, twist them out with the hook or winch the bad ones.

I am offically on a diet.  Did you know that a nutty buddy has 330 calories?  Tim

Just received my cant hooks from Logrite very nice looking tools looking forward to giving them a good workout tomorrow.            I have around 15 red cedar logs ranging from 10ft to 14ft long from 10" on the small end to 26" on the big end. I had cut all the flared ends off before sawing logs.
