So the spikes are burried in the ground?

Yes the spiked end of the log is in the ground to help secure it there. Then it's a lot harder for someone to get it outta the ground.

Here is a little show of how we move our pigs from pasture to pasture. Some people are a little leary of the bigger pigs. But they really are pretty laid back

We now have a Makita 36v cordless chainsaw. Its a great little tool to help delimb, an even cut down small trees. It runs just the same as any cordless tool, an its really quiet compared to a regular chainsaw.

These are obviously doctored photo's , evidence ? NO SIDEARM joking , seriously looks like a nice piece of hardware, i thought about a cordless chainsaw but always suspected them to be under powered or have a short working life/time.... how long work life, like that in the video per charge? and the noise level seems good to work with

David- yea..yea...sorry sometimes I go without my pistol ...but I did have the rifle on my 4 wheeler! An yes it works nicely...it is a tad heavy with the two batteries an a short blade. As far as how long the batteries last ....it really depends on how hard you are using it...the other day Jesse used it an could cut down two an a half fair sized trees.
