Needs them limbed and root balls cut ASAP. This is just a small sample of what we are playing with at the current time.

    Cut what you want out and leave the rest? That’s a deal.

    "Fencerow" to me = buried barbed wire= trouble around here. Good luck and nice score.

    Every single tree has had barbed wire in them. Lose about 5-6 feet of the trunks due to the wire. We’ve hit wire a couple times that we didn’t see. That explains my other post about wire vs chain lol

    Great score with nice easy access. The barbed wire makes me cringe...and pray when im bucking close to where it may be.
