First tree was a nice dead ash tree which we felled with one of the saws and the second tree was a big dead oak, we got a chain around it and tied to the major so that it ca...

I spent a long time studying and viewing the Hy crack models, i didnt buy one of them because i wasnt too impressed with parts of their build.
