    Big red oak been dead about 3-4 years. Finally got it down. It had a pretty good back lean over the IMG_20161027_133903274.jpg fence. So a little help from a skid steer was in order. Been slowly working on getting it cleaned up and bucked up.

    When they lean the wrong way then a little help is the way to go by pulling it over. Looks like it landed in a good spot.

    Hardly any branches to dispose of too, good tree to cut up and good job.

    Not always, you can buck in the air. ;) Just kidding. Looks like a nice time and great when they are close so the travel time is nothing. Glad it's going to keep you warm....TWICE!
