    Got a call from a guy, he's cleaning up a 4 acre lot on a clear cut for a man. Loggers left piles of smaller oaks, he didn't want to burn it, if someone could use it. We went by yesterday afternoon, cut a load to length and he loaded it for us. Gonna get more on another day off. Well over 70 trees here. It was cut just a couple months ago.

    Great to get a call like that . Even better when he loads it for you. Will you have to take the tractor next time?

    Those logs aren’t straight enough. I would send them back

    That was maybe 3 piles of logs on the trailer. Probably 3-4 more trailer loads.

    Very nice. Easy cutting, easy lifting and easy splitting.
