    Well, one tractor on the splitter, one for the uglies bin, one for the splits, not pictured is the tractor with the york rake for clean up, the tractor that moves the conveyor around, & the small brush mowing tractor. Then there's the log skidder also not in the pics. Please don't bother telling me I have a problem, I already know.:loco: :crazy:
    Only have enough for half a year so far, be patient, I'm still looking.:D
    Only models around here are the dogs sadly, & they were after a chipmunk at the time.:rofl: :lol:

    As others have said, I don’t get much help and when I do I’m not standing around taking pic’s. This one should count the tractor is running. CE6E8AAE-C39B-4DDC-ACE0-67B1048A2BE6.jpeg

    Buzz,
    We're in vernon. Plenty of people here do the same as your friend did..."hey, I've got this tree..." the piles of wood in my yard kinda give my secret hobby away...!

    We're a little distant to go on a tree job together, but it is cool knowimg of a fhc member locally!

    I know someone in Rockville. Ive met three FHC members from CT since early 2019 when i joined. Great group of folks on here. We have a nice contingent of active members from this state. Always looking to meet a new one, go hoarding etc. I have a bunch of extra rounds if your son has nothing to do this weekend! ;) :axe:

    I like to work alone. But the work goes so much faster with a second and third body to move wood around. I get to do the cutting, but we all run the splitter and stacking is a social event. Even a person to toss me the splits as I stack saves a ton of time.
    Going on tree removal jobs usually involves good fellowship, exercise, seeing a job well done, sometimes money, and always coffee or food. In a day where so many vocations are nearly pointless (in the big picture, and beyond earning a living) there is a deep satisfaction in seeing the work of our hands.

    We had a severely disabled tenent who liked to 'help'. He did some, but when he tuckered out, I enjoyed nothing more than his company hauling loads, stacking splits etc. Wife and kiddo the same.

    Being left-handed helps considerably! Lol. I've learned to deal with all of you right-handed people's handicaps though. I golf and play guitar right-handed. But for many things like guns and chainsaws, I just learn to do them left-handed with right-handed equipment.

    The windshield was not as clean as it looks. Actually the truck there looks nearly immaculate in that shot, but it's not at all. It is kinda a beater with rust and several cracks in the windshield. That carefully placed tree blocked most of it.

    Ha! Only about 1/2" now. I shave it off around Easter for the summer and start growing it again in the fall. It really does make a difference when I'm out on a windy day blowing the driveway from the open station tractor.
    I haven't shaved my moustache though in forty years.
