What happens here

Position the LogOX timber jack under a log that needs to be cut. Engage the cant hook portion into the log and then leverage the handle downwards to lift the log off the ground. This elevates the log by approximately 8 inches, providing sufficient clearance for the chainsaw to cut without hitting the ground. Make a partial cut on the top of the log with the chainsaw, then release the timber jack.

Goal: Lift a log off the ground for safe chainsaw cutting.

have some fun with it so right here is a prime example this is a scenario you might find yourself in in the woods and basically you just take the can't hook portion of the log ox you grab on to your log you tip it up and boom you got a timber jack now I can go on and cut this log into sections without dipping my chain in the dirt awesome or I can lay it out cut it all the way down roll it over and finish it off without getting my chain in the dirt and it's up about that far probably eight inches off the ground and saves in my back a little bit let's get busy [Music] I've got my individual cuts made I don't have to worry about my saw getting anywhere near rocks or dirt I flip it back up very easily take my can't hook and roller back over just like so and now I'm ready to make my finish cuts pretty cool
