    Cut a few trees down that were dead. I believe this first one is an Elm. We don't see many up my way these days..so wasn't 100 percent sure. It'll make perfect firewood. Cleaned up with a rake and elbow grease too. Lots of work !

    Then onto the pine. This will get burned in a pile soon. Again..lots of cleanup !

    Nice looking firewood. That grapple looks to make moving logs a breeze.

    Always walk away from these pics wishing I had a bota like that. Nice work. I hate cleaning up after the pines.

    The exploders are always fun in a mowed yard. That pine should make a nice fire.

    Nice elm! We have a few left on the property that have survived the disease. Our arborist who trimmed our 200 year old catalpa tree saw one and went exploring for more. He was shocked to see them and made sure to point them out to us.
