    Back in the field after work lastnite dealing with some of the dead elm tops and will be moving the sawbuck today to deal with a bunch of small dead elm/ironwood that was found the other day. :yes:

    Probably wont get to block the main tree's here till after hunting season as there is alot of nice small dead stuff to cut up in the woods.:)

    Ya its not looking too bad woods.:) He's got any situation covered stinny. :D

    That thing is worth its weight Rock!! Just keep throwing it in the little trailer and go find dead stuff to cut up..:yes:

    Oh Ya.. Pretty sure i gotta get another small saw as the 170 is always in action and the 290 gets a little on the heavy side trying to keep the Mrs well stocked.:smoke:

    They do like to help Rock. The only problem with taking them into the woods is that they always find a nice coat full of burrs.:whistle:
    Found another large dead elm yesterday that might have to be dealt with today.:yes:

    Went out and dealt with that elm and it didnt go very well.:headbang: Things were fine till it started dropping the wrong way then turned enough to crotch out on another tree then i tripped trying to get the hell outta the way.:whistle:

    Just a little heads up for everyone here on the board i guess is what i'm yacking about right now.

    They can wait there till i go get em with the tractor.;)

    Everything is fine Rock. :yes: It was one of those trees that went straight up and had a couple large limbs going different ways. I didnt double check the limbs and pretty sure one of them hit another tree after the cut. Supposed to be a nice day today so i'll grab the 170 to make a path to them and 4 wheeler/trailer them out.:coffee:

    Sorry to say that the gang has to use the couch 'inside' the house now.:D
