    Today dad and I hauled a good trailer load of a couple 22" white oaks from the side job we're doin. Gave the 365 a nice workout and she handled it with ease.

    Thats a nice looking load of wood, and it being oak sounds even better!
    Buck it, split it and dry it....ready for 17/18.
    How much do you think you got there?

    Oh I forgot this pic from the job. Ever seen two trees with growth like this? Looks like they may have actually connected at one point.

    I bet the kissing lips were caused by the stump of the mother tree that both those grew up from.
