    Neighbors paid to have them taken down. I get the wood for free. Well minus gas and oil to cut and split everything.

    5 trees total, hickory, and oak. Best part was that the cutter used his bobcat to grapple them to my house. Due to weather and mechanical issues with his skid steer it has been a couple of weeks process. I'm just happy to have a little time to stay ahead of him

    Neato - that big log your saw sits on is a BIG log. My calculator mind just spins thinkin' about how many splits that beastie will make. Nice catch, GrJfer.

    Thanks everyone. It definitely is a great score. There is still a huge split trunk red oak still to come down. It will be 40"+ at the base.

    I have been sharing the wealth also. Neighbor across the street burn also, so he has gotten some of the tops, that I'm helping him cut up.
