    Just some pictures of what I might be after tomorrow depending on the weather. I'm not sure if the Cherry in picture 9048 will drop or come up when I release it from the stump, the Cherry in picture 9049, I thought I would limb it up but I changed my mind, where it splits of the main trunk, I'll drop the two outside ones first, the Cherry in 9052 is further up the hill.

    49 AND 52 are two different trees? or the same from two different angles? Easy access with the 4 wheeler?

    I heard she wOOd appear later today. :thumbs: Just finished up four chains with a 35 degree angle instead of a 30, going after the big Cherry today, just a few small things I'll do this morning before I head back in.

    This ridge wraps around to the south, we have 3 Cherry over in that area, 2 are good size, plenty of work, I just need better weather.

    Just some pictures of todays work (I was out by 1:30) the cutting day started with more of that Sugar Maple from last night (I missed a picture :eek: ) pic 9057 is a small Sugar Maple up near the big Cherry (grabbed that) 9058 & 59 is from the Cherry, pic 60 & 61 are from the second part of the Cherry I released, 61 & 62 had some chips flying with the 390 with a 16 inch bar on it, 63 is after I rolled those suckers down the hill.

    I stopped because I need to clean the brush out of there before I release anymore leaders from the stump or I'll be working in a unsafe area.

    Bucked up about 50 rounds with the two Sugar Maples and the Cherry.

    Lotsa wood there! Great job as always and to me those rounds are the perfect size for splitting! Always seems like you can fly through them.

    I took the cable with the winch on the back of the rhino so I could drag some of the smaller stuff out so working in this area will be safer, just a bunch of pictures.
