Taking down some white oaks and poplar

Taking a break from the log piles to make some brush. I dislike brush cleanup as much as stacking, but I have to get some trees down next to the house. In the fall my house doesn’t get any solar heating, so I’m going to open up some sky and get some more light on momma’s swimming hole and the house.
I got a late start on this, so I only put the rope in the tree today. I’ll splash it tomorrow when my body and mind are rested. Earlier I had to split and stack a pile to make room for my truck to hook up to the rope. Weed whacked the roadside ditch before splitting and stacking.
First white oak to go


Rope in the tree ready for action.


Stack will get more sun too. TBC

 

More sun is gooder for the stacks!

 

Getter down and show us the pictures. Stay safe too.

 

Here we go

 

If it cranks I’ll use it

 

Use the 400

 

Aiming for the truck. Chains too aggressive for the green white oak or saws too weak

 

sounds like a Husqvarna!

 

And it’s between the uprights

 

Brushing time

 

You need a top handle for the brushing. Nice job getting it down.

 

Yes I do. I know where to get a 200t when I have the $.

 

Put down a bunch of early acorns for the wildlife.

 

"I’ll splash it tomorrow when my body and mind are rested."

The most overlooked safety measure. I am very conscious of taking on jobs that could hurt kill, or cause damage when I'm tired.

 

Ive never run one and with all the talk and hype its on my list of saws to get. See them for sale all the time on FBM.

Ive read of 009's having an 012 top end put in turning it into a 45cc beast. For some reason i want one of those too!

 

201 has more torque than 200

 

On the homestretch

 

Phew

 

Nice job. that is a lot of brush to get rid of.
