Branch cleanup of the uprooted birch I brought home last summer.
I got a tractor crate full.

It’ makes heat ,

It’ makes heat ,

Exactly my thinking!

I also took out a couple wild hazel sticks that were in the way.
And two apple trees, one snapped at its base when I dragged the birch trunk over it last summer, the other was interfering with saving my tractor from sliding downhill (sorry!).
And some locust, and cornelian cherry, and willow.
Quite a mix of wood species I got home in todays load.

Not very often I can get into the woodlot in February without a snowmobile. Decided to start picking away at the tops the logging crew left behind last fall.

My son and I got 3 dead standing oak wilt trees dropped and blocked up this morning. I was a little scared of the tree in the pics. After cutting yesterday afternoon I noticed the tree. The top was broken off and some bark was missing. That's not what scared me. The tree had a vertical crack going up the trunk. I was worried while cutting the tree that it would split in half and come crashing down on me. After texting with a member here last night, he told me that it was just a frost crack. He was right, the tree didn't split. We used my scarr 572XP and my scarr 4350, everything was blocked to 26" for a owb.

After cutting the trees, we managed to cut up a load for my cabin and two loads for the landowners son in law. My son cut most of it with my scarr 4350.

Ran the axes for the afternoon to get the heart rate up, the grounds been either snow or muck. I’d like to get this moved and stacked to get another truck and pup in

Got the last of my 2 bins full today. Time to start scrounging for the following year now!

No snow on the ground, so took Mastermind MS400 out to drop a couple dead red oaks. Snow coming tomorrow, so they say.

My dad and I used his truck, winch, and bumper mounted log arch to skid some logs out of the ditch today for my neighbor who is building a house. This large red elm tree was right next to the road, and the neighbor was forced to have it cut down before the town would issue a building permit to him. Some of these logs will get milled, but at least two of them will end up being firewood.

Had a good time cutting the flare off a few of them with my mmws 395. It's been a long week; That angry orange thing makes me grin every time I get to use it

Cut down a standing dead (mostly) White Oak; got it sectioned, then transported it to my firewood processing area near my pole barn. Most of this will go to my BIL, since I'm pretty full.



The other side; you can see my new logging helmet on the pile.

Where is the ditch? Is it behind the billiard table? Lol

It isn't much of a ditch, really. Bottom of this picture, behind the excavator in the previous pictures. Easy work, compared to what it could be

I am just a little jealous of all that flat ground, but we get 55" of rain a year, so it wouldn't work that flat.

I got a little this morning. My son and I planned on cutting down some dead standing oak trees. I knew that we were supposed to have high winds today. Were cutting on top of a hill. When we got to first tree, the top of the tree was swaying bad with the wind. I knew bad things would happen if we tried dropping trees in the high wind! We ended up cutting up a bunch of blowovers. He did most of the cutting with my newest scarr 572XP. Everything was blocked up to 26" for a owb.

A small load of cherry.

 

[Crzybowhntr]
