I've been clearing by machete, handsaw, polesaw, hedge trimmers, chainsaw. But I did hire a forestry mulcher guy to do three hours so I could see...
We have such an office and I did contact them because I read where they have a forester, a lady forester. I consulted her on something and she...
Believe it or not, have been using a Worx battery trimmer for years, it's very lightweight. Does fine on grass. My brother got a Ryobi battery...
Lots of red oak used in these parts for smoking, including commercial bbq. Some like it green.
I'm decent at doing ID on the local oaks and I have seen some where the leaves did not make sense, it looked like a blend of two species. I...
That's awesome, I'd be all over that if I weren't in the opposite end of the state! I will check locally. I am better at this that just about...
I can't edit my 2nd post above but if I could I would do a fix. I just talked to my logger friend and he said that there IS a market for hickory...
FTG-05, took me awhile of scrutinizing to see what you did. Made the wedge about twice as tall/long? I have a 25-ton Countyline, wonder if it...

Anyone not like to deal with hickory or if you do take it, anything special you do? Do you prefer it green or not? Any other things you do to...
They are amazing machines for sure. Friend of mine cleaned up around a huge dead elm that was felled and piled up everything except maybe a face...

You guys talking about being religious about changing the engine oil or hydraulic oil? What's the scoop? I have a Countyline 25-ton. It splits...
I have one, I think it's a strong runner, stock.
Just discussed this tree with my older brother last week, I was telling him about making walking sticks out of them. He went into his house and...
Cool! Do you use the sapwood part for anything?
Hickory I have split wasn't bad but it wasn't super easy like some species. But, no problem. I have LOTS of hickory on my land. I hope to nail...
Here's to your health! Trees sure are dangerous. We have lots of water oak.
