    Helped a neighbor a few houses down take down some trees and brought home 2 loads of wood, mostly black cherry and ash. I slacked last year so I have a lot of work to do this spring.

    Big fan of the Nissan so far. Does a much better job towing than the f150 did.

    The second photo makes it look like your load in the trailer is already burning.

    There is always an issue! It went pretty smoothly this time though-the trees even fell exactly where I told them to.

    That is how I delimb-throw it all in the trailer, light it on fire, and only the bigger wood remains! There is an art to it though-drive too slow and it all goes up. Too fast and the fire won't stay lit.

    In all seriousness, it worked out pretty well-I dropped the trees and while I bucked them my neighbor and his son grabbed the limbs and burned them in their fire while I worked on the wood I wanted.

    Cherry and ash is a good haul.

    Agreed. There isn't much ash left there but there are several more easy access cherry trees in an area I can use the Kubota to load without fear of tearing up lawns.
