    I think she overestimated it a bit, but still... Mulberry!

    Who cares if she was off a bit in her estimation? Nice haul.

    Yep, and her husband got tired of cutting up limbs, so I salvaged quite a bit more off of them as well. It pays to bring the saws with.

    Yeah, it's doing better. I got the lady's husband to do all the heavy lifting, though.

    Just one truck load. I took a shot of just the mulberry so you knew how much of that I got before I finished loading.

    Nope, the guy seemed liked he only owned the saw to impress his wife. Only one chain, he said he had to send it in to get sharpened and will have it back in ten days. Incidentally, they might take down a honey locust about 18" in diameter in about ten days. The wife saved my number in her phone.

    Man I have never heard of tree dumps??Must be a big city thing maybe a new "green" thing vs just going to a landfill? Maybe an Iowa thing? That's cool though.

    If u had to send your chains to be sharpened I think I would just about buy new ones?

    Well, this was in Minnesota so there goes your theory. And these are all small towns. And I would think this guy would at least get a second chain.

    Maybe u just listen to Iowa radio? I assumes you lived in Iowa?

    Maybe its a small town thing? Closest thing I have seen is tree services that dump on their lot and let you take what you want. But all I see there is massive limb stuff.
