What happens here
To facilitate cutting and prevent chainsaw chains from dulling on the ground, the presenter demonstrates the effective use of a LogOX Timberjack forestry multi-tool. He utilizes the cant hook portion to grab the log and roll it over, exposing the uncut side. He also demonstrates how the Timberjack can lift a log entirely off the ground, allowing for a clean cut without the chainsaw chain touching the dirt or hidden rocks. This method protects the chain and makes cutting safer and more efficient.
Goal: Efficiently move and elevate logs to protect chainsaw chains and improve cutting ergonomics.
