    Hit it hard today with the new grapple and 271 Stihl. The new view was a great visual when working

    Poplar top was reduced to lots of rounds. I was glad to see there wasn’t as much leftover to get rid of once all the firewood worthy was gleaned

    Good size oak has been attacked. Lots of nuisance branches cut and cleared with the tractor. one of the dead ash felled by the forester is beside it. I cut some of it and happy to report it isnt punky.

    Scouting some easier pickings for next time. Tomorrow is good chance for rain, so if it isn’t bad,

    my neighbor who has an OWB, and harvest timber on his place , sent a pic of his hoard. Says this is the most in his stockpile this early in the season
