can you use to take down trees

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.

Yes. I have done this a number of times. They are made of a soft plastic and can be easily cut and shaped with tin snips, wire cutters or diagonal cutters. FYI: I use outdoor cable ties to secure them to the tree.

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

Yes - they work very well in trees. You'll need additional chain or rope to do so.

I wouldn't attempt to use it for that application. Worked well on the small diameter tree limbs it was designed for. The blades did wear quickly but I put it through the ringer.

No you cannot. They are glued into place. Although a solid shot into a tree will break the tip right off.Although, once the tips are broken, they make excellent blunt tipped bolts

Mostly they do come down once they are out but anything with fire can be dangerous around wooded areas especially if it has been really dry. I would be really careful around the woods.

Use a saw not an axe for that kinda work. You can easily just smash through a branch that size with an axe, but you are going to ruin your edge. Best to just get a pruning saw and saw those pieces down to size. If they are really twiggy branches, use a small hand axe to clear the twigs off.

Yes. I used them on my tree last season. String is shorter than I'd like but works great.

I don't see why you couldn't. It seems very durable. I bought the 1200 pound capacity cart and we have been moving tree limbs we cut up and it works like a charm.

Its possible. I have a small rock area around one of my trees and it does a nice job there. It has to power settings so you should be able to get the job done.

I am not sure if you are trimming trees or still trimming hedges. Tree, no. High hedge could be dangerous. It works best with a sweeping motion. Carrying it up and down a ladder does not sound fun. You know your limitations. I know mine and I would not feel comfortable.

You don't. Go out and buy a 53cc Husqvarna and you can saw down 5 inch trees with it and these blades. 5/16 and 3/8 are not for farm use.

Yes I think it would work. Remember to get some twist ties as they are open so that you can out them around the tree. Good luck!

Yes, but it is more useful for hard, woody stuff - twigs and small branches. Leaves don't compact so much and tend to fill up the pile at the output rather quickly.

I wouldn't recommend it; the blade requires some type of handle to be safe to use and is longer than a typical pruning saw would be. The blade that came with mine was very dull due to poor packaging, too; and would be hard to push and pull through most tree limbs without the extra leverage the polls give you. You could likely use it as a hand pruning saw in a pinch, but I think it would be risky to do so.

yes. i use mine to yank down trees, putting almost 5000lbs of force on one. its a very strong strap
