    Rolled up some brush and thicket piles and cut a bunch of down stuff as I came to them, for this spring burning to end season

    When will the OWB go out for the season? What species did you find?

    I’ll burn junk mid March until epic wood day on 4/22 and shut down shortly thereafter

    area I’m clearing has lots of dead ash and some cherry blow downs, none of it great, all of it flammable. :)

    I have a MT 85 Bobcat

    mini skid steer of sorts with root grapple that is also good at moving logs, or skidding them into places I can pick them up

    just got it used couple of weeks ago

    Sort of like that one except grapple slightly different. Will pick up 850 lbs if your standing on the driver plate, and some more if you have a buddy to jump on with you
