Just wanted to give a heads-up to any of our Central Ohio guys on this Craigslist ad. I don't know how to post a link, but if you go on Craigslist-Ohio under Dayton/Springfield you can find it, it's about 3 days old. The best part isn't even in the ad. He has a grove of about 70 HICKORY trees he's wanting gone! Must be done by April 1st before planting time. He's looking for somebody to pay maybe $5 per tree to cut, and of course he will have you sign a waiver. He says the hickory trees are anywhere from 12" to 24" DBH. I'm definitely interested myself but don't really have any experience felling large trees like these. I could buck them once they're down, but that doesn't help him any. His name is Brian and you could text him at 513-364-9103. Good luck with maybe getting a bunch of hickory firewood!
Aw, man. Wish we weren't so far away. We could do some damage together, bring the 'Bota and dump trailer...
Well I have given up on the Hickory grove in Trotwood. I've never really felled any trees of size, and at my age I'm afraid to start now. I did get a really nice truckload of the apple wood but they were small trees that had been popped out of the ground so cutting them up was really simple. I would have thought there was someone on here close enough to Trotwood who would be taking advantage of the $5 hickory trees by now!
