“High Lift” Jack Drops Trees In Place
 ✖  |
“This idea really helps when I’m cutting down trees and don’t want anything to go wrong when they fall. I just add a long pipe to a high lift jack so that I can drop the tree exactly where I want it,” says Herman Schulte, High Level, Alberta Canada.
He recently sent FARM SHOW photos of how he used a 48-in., 3-ton lift jack to push down a tree. The pipe rests on the nose of the jack and is held in place by a bolt at the bottom and a 1-in. pipe collar at the top. The pipe collar is welded to a metal bracket that’s bolted to the top of the jack. A gripping device is secured to the top of the pipe where it meets the tree.
Schulte uses a chainsaw to cut a notch on one side of the tree. He sets the jack against the tree at an angle, then pumps the handle to push the pipe against the tree periodically as he finishes cutting it down.
“It’s a simple and inexpensive idea, and it works great,” says Schulte. “The pipe can be whatever length is needed. If I want to use the jack normally again I just remove the pipe.”
