If you wish to destroy the blade, you can certainly strike it against a tree.

It has for me. However, you have to make sure the feet are securely staked to the ground because it really hits the targets hard. It is not a very heavy piece, but has held up well to this point.

I tried it on some small trees and found it would not grip on them. I think if the tree is big enough for this tool to work the ATV would not be able to pull it.

I don't know what tips were used by one of the respondents with the 80lb crossbow, but my 175lb crossbow, bolts only penetrate the target by just a few inches, I have for several months now and all that it has done is fade a little, other that that it takes a beating.

I would think that you could attach it to a strong tree. The only thing that comes with the swing is the chain. We needed to buy the s-hooks to attach. Hope that was helpful. Nice sturdy swing:)

It is powerful enough to move a pile of leaves. Haven't used it much with wet leaves so can't really say how well it performs there - I don't think it would have a problem with wet leaves. As far as it being compared to Stihl, I haven't used that brand but they all have ratings for how much air they move. You could go by that to compare.

Yes, with practice and a full battery, if it will open around the tree it will cut it, does really well with softwoods.

I have dropped mine a couple of times on the concrete roadway. Didn't break or crack. But if you were to hit it directly??? Can't say.

Personally, I would no as it may weaken the tree branch. Most if the tree swings I have seen have rope handles and something to protect the tree as it wraps around. Also, these are machine screws, not intended to drive into wood.

It's heavier so it hits much harder but past 50-60 feet you'll start to loose some accuracy. But man, it packs a lot of power. Worth the xtra money!

Not only will it pick up small tree limbs but large ones as well. I even pick up brick with it and place it on my hand. Tough tool and great for the back. No bending or stooping.

I have used this tool at ton and it works great. It is going to work well on a tree out to about 850 to 900 yds, beyond that you will not get very good readings.

You can definitely take down trees with it depending on how it is rigged-up and within the capabilities of the particular winch. Just remember, unless you rig it not to do so, it will pull things tward it's soruce and make sure it doesn't plop all down on top of your arse, or the attachment point and winch. I used it to raise walls on a building I was constructing and it worked well for that as well, just make sure it is anchored well and you take into account the direction things are being pulled doesn't put you or your equipmewnt in danger. Snatch blocks, angle points,auxillary lines, and pullies make the possibilities endless.

I used mine to take down lilacs. They have very hard wood. It takes awhile to get through, but some of the branches at the bottom were 3". If I were to do it again I would use a sawsall or chain saw.

I wouldn't shoot it at that weight. If you hit a rock it'll probably shatter I would think

Very little. In fact, the manual says not to push it too hard as it will overheat the motor; however, it does require *some* pressure to cut through a tree or limb of 3"-4". If I'm cutting a 4" tree down low, I'll press against my hand (on the handle) with my thigh or knee, not because it takes a lot of pressure but because you have to keep the pressure on throughout the cut.

I believe you can mount it to a tree. It comes with very comprehensive instructions from what I remember. Very well made.
