So what is some good stackable wedges? School me. |
|
I only have a small stihl one, large generic wedge and a old |
|
steel one that dont get used. Figure I might want to update |
|
with my date with some big poplars this spring. Just in case. |

Madsens has some that are rifled made for stacking. K&H do |
|
pretty good and are my favorite ones followed by the red heads |
|
and madsens brand. |

Yeah those are the K&H. The black bear ones are the ones made to |
|
stack. |

The black bear rifled wedges are pretty nice I have two of them |
|
for just that stacking them to get more lift. I have used them a |
|
bunch and really like them. I also got a double taper double |
|
lift wedge but have not used it much to say weather I really |
|
like it or not. I would have to say you are going to get more |
|
lift from the black bears then the double taper. I would also |
|
like to say I am a big fan of the hard head wedge. I know that's |
|
not what you asked for but if you are updating i think you would |
|
be happy with them they sure can take a pounding. |

|
and Husqvarna wedges |
|

I like the cheaper ones in case they somehow get left out in the |
|
woods and not found. A dozen of Madsens house brand were $36 a |
|
while back. Some the of the longer K&H are double taper for |
|
lift. If those poplars are 30" or bigger you can get 12" wedges |
|
that will lift a lot at the end. The shorter K&H are nice as |
|
they have more lift than the Madsens and redheads. |

The h |

Hard Head (steel head insert) are nice if you need to persuade a |
|
stubborn tree. |
