Lightweight, i swung a sotz monster maul for many years and then one year i had a yard full of wood and a bad wrist from a motorcycle incident. then i went and got one of them hydraulic axes and haven't looked back.

I'm talking about a felling axe not a splitting maul. Two different tools for very different jobs

Nothing at all. All I'm saying is that a felling axe and a splitting maul or wedge and sledge are very different tools. I'm not gonna fell a tree with a splitting maul or limb or buck with it either

I was gifted an Ochsenkopf axe by a lumberjack for helping his mother out during and after a blizzard in New York State in 1977. Now that was an axe! After having it for over 20 years I had that and 2 chainsaws locked in my pickup after clearing a lot and a thief smashed out the back window of my truck cap and stole them all. Never knew the value of the axe, just that it was the best axe I ever used. A few years later I decided to replace it. Saw the price of a new one and went WHOA. Didn't use an axe enough to justify that price...

Yeah, they make great axes ( and other tools) but unless you use them for a living it's hard to justify the price. My neighbor was a logger and he didn't spend that kind of money on an axe.

I know you guys are tired of my stupid wood cutting post. and probably any of my post. 
but..
This is an Oregon tree felling lever, got this thing at a really good price. they are 185 bucks on amazon. guess this was a return. it said used like new and i got it for 50 bucks. i figured paint would be missin but this thing is brand new. the original package was trashed but i threw that away anyway.
Also can also be used as a can’t hook, it’s 51 inches long and weighs 20 pounds or more. now i didn’t buy it to fell trees with, although i may try some small ones with it. but got it for a whole different purpose. but wasn’t going to pay 185 for one.

That is a neat tool. I used to have an old can't hook but I can see all kinds of uses for this. Sounds like you got a real buy on it. Congrats.I know you guys are tired of my stupid wood cutting post. and probably any of my post.
