    Lost part of our sugar maple at the office earlier this summer. Found it had some rot and needed to come down. Tree crew came today and got it on the ground for me. Used the 346 to get the first couple loads this evening.... man is that thing a dream to run. Tomorrow and this weekend the 372 and 2100 will be getting a workout :tree:
