CONT

A bucking ladder ... is of assistance when small stems are bucked at a landing. This ladder consists of a set of cross skids on which the tree lengths can be rolled. When you are cutting standard lengths, such as 4- or 5-foot bolts for pulpwood, you can place the skids exactly these distances apart. ... The bucking ladder also eliminates the chance of sawing into the ground, and permits cutting conveniently at waist height.
