I have the Stihl/Logrite 60”. I have an older Peavey manufacturing Peavey with a point and a 60” handle. Great tool. I called Peavey Manufacturing in Maine (the inventor of the tool in 1859 and still run by the same family), and I asked them to make me a custom Timberjack (wood handled like yours) with a 60” handle as posed to their standard 42” handle. Wow, what a difference. Like you said, the leverage is amazing. They put the grain of the wood perfectly when lining it up to the tool face. Extremely heaven duty. I would highly record this. It was only an extra 10 or $15 to have them custom make this tool with a 60” handle instead of a 42”. I highly recommend it. Thank you for the video

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 All I have ever had was the old fashioned wooden handle one. It has stood up well for me for at least 30 years now. I did have the felling bar type for when I didn't have a tree harvester. It actually works well for felling 12 inch and under. The hook was designed for twisting the tree to help it fall through the canopy. As far as using it for rolling logs it doesn't work very well. Take care my friends!!😀😀

Once again you are a wealth of professional knowledge my friend! Tony lives over your direction Al and we where talking today about coming over to your place for a play day soon, let me know when it's good for you, thanks!

So, here's a tip for those who don't have a cant or peavey with the log lift feature. Lay a smaller log or limb down in front of the log to be rolled (perpendicular to it) and roll the log up and onto the limb. Then it's off the ground. Lay two limbs separated by several feet apart and you can make several cuts or more.

That Logrite is a peavey, not a cant hook. An Xtreme Duty Peavey (yellow handle). Lists for $145. I'm deciding between a cant hook and a peavey and leaning towards a peavey. You can buy replacement tips from Logrite, $15.50 for peavey point (all peavey sizes) and $12.00 for cant hook "toe-hooks" (two sizes, 9/16" dia. and 3/4"). I called the company last year and they said as long as you have the correct diameter, they will interchange. Think I'm going to buy a peavey and a replacement toe-hook.

@@InTheWoodyard You are partially correct partially correct. While Joseph Peavey did invent the peavey tool, the peavey tool he invented had a long point on the end. His invention was in 1858. Joseph’s tool was used for river drives mainly. The Cant Hook (small hook on the end) did not appear until the early 1900’s, and was first used in Michigans upper peninsula. Henry Ford, had hundreds of these newer hooks made so that he could get lumber for the Upper Peninsula quicker to make his Model T. They have the earliest version of the Cant Hook in the lumber museum in Lansing MI. ………. So when says the wood peavey in a lumber camp, they are definitely looking for their favorite river tool with that long point. This allowed the lumber jacks and river rats to separate logs for tagging. Keep on cranking out more wonderful videos. Se ya in the wood yard.
