    Neighbor across the street called wanting help cutting some trees. Turns out they are all locust.all 20 to 25 inches. At least 10 to come down right now. The kicker is that he probably has 3 cord bucked in piles that he said to take as well!!

    Are you sure that's locust? Pics of logs on the trailer aren't looking like the locust I've dealt with. Either way, great score.

    I'm in full agreement. Don't see any locust there but still a great find. Ron T, treat than neighbor well! Wouldn't it be nice if we all had neighbors like that?!

    I see ash and maybe some red elm. But no matter, a great score based on size. And yes, size matters. It also earns you today's 'You Suck' award!:rofl: :lol: :salute:

    Didn’t make it over to get any pics of the trees to be cut...I’m nearly sure they are locust. What’s on the trailer is what was already cut. May not be.
