any experience with cheaterjack

does anyone have any experience with http://cheaterjack.com ?

Looks like it could be a useful piece of kit if it works as advertised. Also how much was it.

Thx for any info,

Karl

Looks like a death trap to me , alot safer to pull a tree over than to push it over . Only jack I would use for felling would be silvey or the like .

I saw a part of the video the other day. Looked like it worked, but as was already said, not something I would use myself. I'd rather just set a rope and pull it over.

agreed with the pulling vs pushing method, my preffered method of felling difficult or leaning trees is 3 winches, 1 for really pulling and two for steering. This certainly looked interesting though, hence my question.
