Neighbors husband got in over his head with an electric pole saw. Turns out he almost dropped an 8' section of tree on his head and decided he wanted nothing to do with it anymore. I watched it for a week and decided to see if I could take it and they said it's all yours. Probably enough left to get another truck load.
Nice! Scrounging like this is the best way to do it I drove around the neighborhood because I was told there was equipment and a chainsaw at the neighbors. Nope, nothing to scrounge, so I'm not certain what that noise was.
I got permission to cut anything dead standing or down on 17 acres up the road. I cleaned up a tree that fell across there driveway and they gave me access to the whole property in return. Keep looking around and ask to clean up trees that come down. You'll eventually get a good spot.
Yeah, that's how it works sometimes. I have access to cut anything on my buddy's 24 acres. It's just that land is about 20 miles away. So whenever I can get a load of wood from closer, I will.
Like a typical life time PA truck. Beds a little ruff and some rust here and there. Got the transmission rebuilt. Billet converter and GPZ clutches, 6.0 coole. Runs like a 7.3 should now, slow but will get you and whatever is in the bed or behind it home.
Nice score! That's how I got access to 1200 acres of land to cut. Be careful you don't get overwhelmed & end up buying a pile of equipment lol. It can snowball real fast.
Nice haul of ash. I been sawing on some myself that's dead standing. Have to be real alert with the fully rotten limbs up top. Luckily mine have a nice clear path down to the ground, at least so far.
They have a tree company coming this week to put over 6 more dead ash. Not sure if I'll get any of that as they say there going to take all the wood with them. I've got tons of oak and hickory tops up where the big oak was. So I'll stay busy either way.
I’d talk to the tree company. From my experience they will most likely let you have all you want of it.
I agree it Donny. I'd stop by and see if you could clean up the wood. That would save them the hassle.
Ash trees with rotted tops are pretty dangerous around here. I've got a 30" tree to take down Friday. I'll put a rope up it, make my cuts & then pull it over with the winch. Way safer from 150' away.
All those I've been dropping for dad just explode on top when they hit ground. Makes for a fussy clean up of the land owners field. I'm uber cautious with them.
