Got a call from a good friend, had two oaks that needed to come down. He asked if I wanted the wood on the condition I took the brush. Well worth 2 loads of brush if you ask me: My buddy impressed the heck out of me (he has been doing this almost 20 years.) First some rigging: He was a bit unhappy, he wanted it on the two bucks ...and finally the prize. Still one truck load to gather tomorrow night. (This is two rows ...) The other oak ...
Nice haul! White, then red? Was he planning to pull the stumps with a tractor? That the reason for leaving the stumps that high?
They said red's, no mention of whites. And you got it he left the stumps so they could excavate them out if needed. OH and I got to run his 440 for a bit
Good way to get some great wood at a great price ! Looks like it will be some good fun splitting too Looks heavy !
Good shot, puttin' that one down between the stump and the power pole... Lots of firewood in those 2 oaks!
I've cut a few trees but a fell like that is above my pay grade. Nice work! I was cutting a small wood lot alongside a professional a few weeks back. He dropped a big aspen right towards a powerline. I was standing off to the side thinking oh crap here we go. The top branches missed the bottom line by about 6". He's a nice guy so I'll chalk it up to skill rather than luck.
My uncle had these growing in his raised bed. Planning on tossing them in the ground here, take two, give two.....
tuneighy, we have hundreds or thousands of those right now. I'll probably just mow most off. I did move a few but only a few.
Some nice, primo oak for sure, tuneighty Well worth the btu's for hauling the brush, man! A great score, indeed
