Most of the 2 elms ya can't even see , cuz over growth Dragin em out Tried something different here I'm getting there , what ya don't see is about 12 dead ash little ones and some bigger ones Here's part of what I got And the mailman brought me this today ,Helko Twisted Steel Splitting Wedge Tried it out , I must say It will crack em open much quicker than a regular wedge
What a mess. What are all the saplings ? (good pole bean stakes ) You been holding out on us Nice "antique " looking log stands Looks like you got it bucked without hitting the pavement , good idea ! Good dry stuff too ! Can see more stuff back there. You're working hard to get it , but looks like good wood ! Looks like snake & bug haven ?
What you can't see is that goalie right there, is a big drainage ditch that runs for about a mile and a half and empties into a creek, It's County property, on the left is my property with a fence all the way along, so I go at it this way or make more holes in the fence I have to repair. Most of that small stuff is some kind of real soft, light stuff that grows by Creeks, don't know what it is called. The log Jacks I got from Craigslist when I bought my used Cant hook, I got those two log Jacks, the Cant hook and a cable choker for 40 bucks. Edit , oh yeah ,I feel like someone beat the crap outa me
You're throwing almost your whole arsenal at it. Keep us posted. Be careful, looks like punji stakes & trip hazards everywhere in there
All in all, nice work, @HDRock It does look like a bear fought a rhino in that brushy crap- and left you the mess to deal with!
. Be careful, looks like punji stakes & trip hazards everywhere in there [/QUOTE] yeah there is I had the hedge trimmers out there, and when I was walking around with the chainsaw I made sure to put on the brake, going to pick up a pole saw attachment tomorrow
yeah it is a mess but it does look worse in the pictures than it is, I have been going to do this for a couple of years, its all Firewood and if I don't get that out now, the ash will go punky soon, and it will be crazy once all the foliage comes out
If none of that stuff is real big, I'd just run the tractor through it with the deck set on high. I've done it. Better the tractor gets beat up than you. Might be why I need to have the drive belt replaced.......again.
I would but some of it is like inch - inch n half . I mow down the black berry bushes buy the fence all the time . Dang wild rose bush nailed me good , hate them things
Yep, definitely not trying that , probably burn up the whole neighborhood ,my house, and go to jail There is a lot of dead stuff laying out there too
You oughta see if you could get those folks on the nekid and skeeered show to take those rose bushes out for you... now that would be entertaining...
