We finally got the go ahead from our local Baptist Church to clean up a nice size oak they had dropped by a tree service. It is the same place that was in the Holy Hickory, Batman thread. The main stem. Used the MS461 w/28" bar to handle the big parts The 'Bota and grapple sure we're handy. Pulling the butt section out of the limbs I didn't put the tape on it, but it was about a grapple full, loading the butt section on the dump trailer... We only took the main stem and a couple of the biggest top sections... The smaller logs we cleaned up and carried to a church member... Got them a decent trailer load. Also found a small cherry that had been cut and hung up, was able to pull it down and add to their load. We were able to cut a 2' section off the stump Got it loaded...oak and the hickory stump, only had a couple miles to go, heavy load, probably 10K. Had to pull it uphill to dump...
Probably use both splitters, the County Line 30 ton to break them down and Blue Samson for the fast finish...
The weather lately has been PMS...We had about 70° one day, upper 60's when we cut that tree, in the 40's today...... I know y'all have had some crazy temps too.
Thanks. I think our woodyard is looking about like yours after 2018...I need to do a walk thru inventory again...
We'll take about any size...lol...the goldilocks size are great for 1 pass thru Blue Samson, make great time, especially if someone can help load the rounds. But the bigger logs makes loads a lot faster. And yes, we are so thankful for the ...
Thanks, brother. It was a good area right where the tree was. Where the cherry was, is hilly. Big gullies in the area too.
As I sit here in front of my woodstove; I am glad T.Jeff Veal is a making splits cause I am burning them!! Keeps things in balance Theres about a foot of snow on ground, flurries in the air. It’s icy outside.. Good work Jeff
