Tree Fork Saves Saw Chain

Tree Fork Saves Saw Chain WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Chain Saws 30-6-29 Cutting up trees on the ground can be hard on your chainsaw blade, and dangerous, but thanks to a special "fork," those aren't issues for Mel Primrose of Westlock, Alberta. He uses a device made from steel rod that looks like a strange, two-tined pitch fork. It has curved tines with an upright U-shaped piece of metal welded between them, one third of the way up from their tips. To use the tool, Primrose lays it on the ground, with the tine tips pointing up. Then he places one foot on the handle while he drops one end of his log, branch or post on the far end of the fork. Because of the shape and angles of the device, it holds the end of the log about 4 in. off the ground.
