    We all finally got a little time off so we went after some trees. Armbru84 , Barcroftb & myself went to PAPeggy 's house & took out some trees.

    61 & sunshine, what a great way to spend the day!

    Nice work! I love burning elm. It looks like that barn is about to get crushed in that last pic:hair:

    Ha! Didn't notice that. Tree dropped right in the open, that's an illusion. I've never seen Brad miss.

    Nice job on falling the Elm. Looked like a pretty tall tree.
    I too burn elm and like it for firewood.

    20191226_100605.jpg Better pic of the mini. Really impressive little machine.
    20191227_125535.jpg Went back this morning & finished off the top of the tree behind the barn. Got a nice load. We've got a few more trees to take out here yet, so I'll haul the remainder off then. 20191227_125813.jpg First load I hauled out yesterday.

    Hey man, with that machine & Brad & Cole working I could pull an Eric VW & just take pictures. :p
    Oh no, that stuff's good fire wood. Let it dry in the round a bit & it'll split.
