This will be the area we store the backhoe and some other things, so the Cherry in the picture will come down on Friday so that we can drop the backhoe there on Saturday.
Not much this year but I did cut some yooperdave . Locust Post , if I can keep my arse off the tractor enough next year we'll have a nice size cherry c/s/s. Boomstick , our bigger lot holds a lot of cherry. I'll see if I can get a picture of the bigger cherry that's down that will be my first or second job next spring.
All went well with the drop so after I bucked it up, I put the American CLS to work on it. I'll finish the rest of the splitting tomorrow. I did use the pallet forks to get rid of the smaller branches. The last thing I did was get two different areas ready for stacking, it will hold 6 face cord or around 3.66 cord.
you are brave storing equipment under those pines. Messy, sticky pitch, and can't go through a storm without dropping limbs. The vast majority of damage done here during the last storm was due to pines falling. White pine is everywhere here. Grows like weeds.
All these years we've had stuff in the woods underneath pines, nothing has been hit with only one close call. Next year that area might not have any trees there, I'm running out of good days so we plan on bringing down two more pine but I need to stack some firewood first.
I split the rest of the cherry and what pine was left, the cherry will get stacked first. In pic 0690, I took a few stumps out with the chainsaws. Once the cherry is stacked, I'll rake up the area we plan on putting some trailers and other equipment.
Low enough for this year, next year some of the stumps furthest from the trail will come out. I plan on digging out the stump closest to the trail before Wednesday.
Since it's still warm for this time of year we put in two loads of pine, after I was setup for splitting the rains came so it was a wet one.
I've put the camera away for awhile but I did stack some of the cherry the last two days, tomorrow I'll have two face cord up. We've been doing a few things inside the house or else it would've been done yesterday.
