Allow me to be the first to congratulate you! Beautiful machine you got there.

Thanks for the insights all! You have convinced me that I need to invest in some arborist rope and snatch blocks.

You will love the L60. Great buy! I chose the L4760 over the L4060 because of the additional weight, PTO hp, and larger loader capacity of the LA1055. But I'd also have picked the L4060 over the L4701 for the reasons you did. Enjoy!

Ok so one week later, I finally got these pics. Looking closer, I can see the hinge is quite looser now, with two main trunk components trying to fall on what looks like either side of the main trunk.

Good advice on the sewed loop ends! And will definitely seek out static rope or strap.

I've browsed through some of this rope (THANK YOU FOR THE TIP) and I think this is the way I'll need to go at some point now or in the future. Not having a winch a long arborist rope should be really handy, especially for block and tackle work.

I'll try to go out in the morning and snap a few pics. The Hickory has been down three years if I recall correctly, big derecho storm in early 2020. The good part is, it's in mostly open pasture so I have free range to pull in any direction I need. The bad part is, hickory is tough and like you...

I've got a Shagbark Hickory that broke in a "hinge" break about 15ft up, in a storm a couple years ago. The broken part of the trunk extends down at an angle to the ground maybe 20ft away from the base of the main trunk. My thought on removing it was to attach a long tow strap near the terminal...

Looks like great products, but their website won't load (for me anyway).

2nd the nomination for Crutchfield! I've bought lots of discount stereo equipment in the past, but always ordered the head unit from Crutchfield despite being more expensive for one reason: they include a wiring harness that will adapt your specific vehicle plug pattern to the stereo unit you...

Don't have a ton of insight myself, just want to thank folks for the great responses. One thing I can add, is the below tool is the BEST for holes, slopes, etc... anywhere you're sketched out to take your tractor. My wife's grandad used to let me borrow his, which was a huge honor since that was...

This is brilliant. I want one. One time I had my Toyota 4runner backed into the garage with the diff lock on after an ice storm and forget about. Couple days later my wife is going into town in the 4runner. Calls me a few minutes later, says that the center console felt "like it was getting...

Slightly tangential, but does anyone know where to get a bolt on kit for basically a short (~2in) piece of square tube that one can mount on the side of the bucket, for pulling t-posts? I can pull t posts effectively using a chain (from the center, I don't even have hooks, just wrap the chain...
