    This ash broke off in a wind gust a few weeks ago. Kinda barber chaired between 2 other trees in the clump. It was right on the property line and the neighbor said go for it before they plant corn. Had to work it from both sides the fencerow to get it down to cutting height. Should make 3/4 cord.

    That called for 40’ of heavy chain and 4 wheel drive before even starting a saw.

    Yes sir, ugly tree nicely done! Sometimes equipment is the only way. Enjoy dinner, you earned it.

    Willing to bet the sausage would taste better if it was in Jambalaya.

    Nice job, good work done. Glad you got it down safely with the tractor. Equipment sure makes a tough job easier.

    Good call on the chain :). Or explosives. Sometimes a saw is not the first tool to grab.

    Well done. :salute: Looks a bit scary to take down, but on the ground and a nice haul for you. Not having equipment, i wouldve had to let it stay as is until it fell on its own.
    Did the 261 "double dawg" :saw:work this one?

    That did look like a tangled up mess. But I see those rounds in the bucket all nice and neat. Good job.
