50 trees in 4 minutes!

And now the big work… processing.
What’ll become of that area now that you’ve opened it up a bit? Or were you just selectively thinning it out?

 

Glad they are down safe

 

I have a few other videos explaining it. It will be my soon to be sawmill area.

I had to do a 300 foot x 30 foot access road and about a 100 foot x 100 foot area for my sawmill and firewood stuff. Still have quite a few trees to go.

 

Not bad. Guess you deserve a coffee break now.

 

That was a fun clip. Looks like the 4th tree got away from you a little…no holding wood left but glad you got them all down safely.

 

Based on the old stone wall looks like place used to be a field, did you do a ring count on largest trees? Most looked to be 10-15 years old with a few 50+ year old trees.

I see you use the loader as an encourager, I have pallet forks works great to straddle the tree and guide it down if you have a narrow target drop zone.

 

That is a lot of wood! Is the wood going to be saw logs and firewood Or just firewood?

 

The bigger straight stuff will be milled, the other stuff firewood.

 

Yes. Back in the day I'm sure it was famland. This area was all logged in the early 1990's. I'm sure they left the big trees on the line. Most are smaller scrub trees.

 

Yeah, the smaller ones I over cut, but wasn't too concerned with them.
