Been watching this tree for a few years and not a leaf on it this year. Everything went great. Me and Boom last week. Hit the bullseye with a little help. Bottom half up at the farm. Top out of the woods and will deal with it there.
Thanks woods This guy will be down after i have a bite to eat. It wont be half the chore the first one was as its leaning bigtime towards the field.
Gud er dun. Good amount of wood there. Is it all good fer the woodstove? No punky stuff? It sure looks good from Maine.
First one is in great dead shape Not sure of the second one yet? but dont remember it dead last year so thinking all will be good to go.
Thanks gang Went and got the other one and had a good time/crew Pretty sure those are the same deer we ran into a couple weeks ago.
Loon, that pasture is so serene. Those deer are too tame. It won't serve them to be so inquisitive once hunting season opens. Getting deer shouldn't be as easy as picking apples. You did good getting those two trees down. I've never messed with elm. I'm told it is very hard to split. No clue how it is to burn. Not many left around here. Dutch elm disease gets them all by the time they are young trees. My daughter has a few dead ones standing. None of them more than 6 inches in diameter. How you made up your mind how to take down that big limb that overhangs your home? That would be one to set the camera on movie mode.
Had to go into work this morning WS and was sure glad to get back home for the day we had. Been dealing with dead elm for years here save and your right it can be a pain to split but is a great burning wood. Those small trees at your daughters house would be great in the stove this winter and suggest you try em out. Everytime i am out back i have a look up at that limb The camera will be there when i figure out how it will come down? and hoping i dont wait too long to make up my little mind
My son is going after that dead elm. I can't walk on uneven ground yet. Looks like next year for me so long as I don't fall and break something again. Twice down the stairs an once on ice on the landing on the front steps.
Sorry save as i forgot about that. He'll like the stuff alot. The tractor sure does help out on the monsters guys but today i'll take the truck or 4 wheeler as me and the crew dropped 4 more smaller ones late yesterday and will bring them up this afternoon.
Terry it is nice to have the tractor when it is needed. Along pasture or other fields quite often it is needed because the trees tend to not want to grow straight there. As for the elm, that should be ideal burning wood.
That first one Dennis ended up being quite balanced out on top. So ended up giving it a high push with the Case and everything was fine. The second one got hung up a bit which i wasnt expecting but it landed nicely in the field. Pretty hot out right now but all i am gonna do is drag the rest over here after lunch.
Well its 81f in the shade fire but feels 181f in the sun Took the 4 wheeler over to deal with those elm that fell into the woods lastnite and upon further inspection i gotta take the tractor back down as their bigger than i first thought
