Dropped a few yesterday.....have another 8-12 good size red n rock oak plus some smaller oaks n popular n ? farmer steve is comin up....we have till this thursday before the track loader comes in...not nutz about a home bein built beside us ...our wood piles will block it plus he'll be down below us farther...nice guy...just dont like somebody close. We were goin to buy it (only half an acre) but since we have been here we got reaccessed plus school taxes went up...said to h€ll with it!
Nice score, sorry about the neighbors. One on the awesome things about rural Alaska, no property, school, city or county taxes.
Looking good bear 1998 and a nice score. I hear ya about somebody being close! At least seems like a nice guy and farther away, build those wood piles higher...lol...
For sure that is always a scary thought; people buying property next to you and building... I like elbow room.
Nice score, nice woods and nice tractor. With the time crunch I’d be thinking about felling and skidding and leave the bucking for another time.
Theres a real nice black oak in there that i dropped earlier...farmer steve would of liked to have had it to mill..no way to get it out...so i'll be chompin on it tomorrow mornin. The owner pushed the excavator up to monday since we got this last snow....few more days of sawin before the mess...
I think I'd probably steer clear of the excavator. If that was my job your ears would be ringing with me cussing you out for cutting the stumps off. It doubles if not triples the time and cost of a clear and grub job fighting the stumps, especially as snowy as it looks. Unless you left four or five feet to get some good leverage on. I like to push the tree over, pick it up with the thumb, shake the dirt off, then stump it and brush it while its off the ground.
