    The other day at work my boss mentioned that they will be clearing a tree line between 2 feilds, so that night I asked if I could cut the remaining trees out, he told me to cut away. So today I headed out there and got a few down. Not a ton of trees there it has been cut in before but still some.

    Black cherry (thanks to all that posted in my tree id) and some oak for today.

    Split the oak and some of the cherry for a load home, my full-size 2500 is in the shop right now so I just have my small s10 that I can only hual small loads in. So will take me a few trips to get what I have down, but my back is yelling at me, so that was okay.

    Great score. I love cutting in secluded areas without 50 people slowing down and staring.

    I do as well, I was about 80 acres back and on the other side of a small hill so it was just me and the wildlife out there.

    That was the first one, it's for rolled high moisture corn. Was still a little to wet at 32%. Tommorow the combine comes back for the rest of it, it was testing at 28 a few days ago and it's been warm and windy so should be down to about 25% moisture right in were it ferments good.

    All of the silage corn has been chopped and piled and covered already for over a month now we actually just opened it up and started feeding out of it a couple days ago

    Fence row, windbreak cutting is a great gig! I do quite a bit of it, drive up, drop the tree into the open, cut & load. Let me tell ya, with a little equipment it's fast & productive. As you mentioned, usually no spectators other then the local fauna. Good job!
