    I've got about 10 trailer loads of Poplar & Cherry to haul out of a lot I cleared this summer. Finally got four loads hauled & decked today. 20200912_135325.jpg
    Poplar & Cherry to your left & White & Red Oak on the right. This will get processed this fall & winter.
    Kubota on one end loading & my little TYM 390 here stacking. Goes pretty fast. 20200912_123007.jpg
    Oh yea, I forgot to mention the free rake I got with it lol.

    That’s a quality old rake. Possibly haunted but quality :)

    LOL, lean a rake against a tree to take a break, forget about it and some years later it is a part of the tree. I saw a photo of a bike like that, the tree not only grew around the bike, but as the tree grew in height it carried it upward.

    I think I would cut the tree above the rake where you know the wooden handle was located and make it a conversation piece.

    Perhaps the rake was payment for your work, or maybe a tip! :rofl: :lol:
