I should probably start skidding corn stalks!

This job is another pasture job “up on the ridge” I don’t mind the gentle slopes!

I’m rethinking my answer to the question “think it’s worth moving the processor up there?” Lol.

Is that first one a red spruce? If so that’s massive. Ones around here make it to 12” then blow over

Think it’s Engleman Spruce. That one was 4’ , average dbh on this sale is 24”. They blow over here quite often too. Especially when they are rottenThey can get pretty big

A few shots from a side job I'm working on after my day job, what I started with and what I ended the day with. I left 2-3" of holding wood and started driving a wedge when it just gave way and went over sideways onto another tree. I'll head back tomorrow morning before work with my truck and some rope and I'll try to pull it down.

Some nice big trees. Some areas in the back of my property are old growth, only because it would never be economically feasible to get back there(swamp, boulders size of trucks everywhere etc), anyway biggest one here I’ve seen is 30”, she’s still standing last I walked back there, a little dieback though so In decline. Mother Nature only allows for pines to get big here, as they are moderately deep rooted to stand up to winds

@Woodslasher purty good trick there turnin’ a tree upside down. @chiselbit said he’d give ya a hand.

Brief update, after snapping the too-old rope twice I just dropped another tree on it and knocked it down. The truck (fortunately) got it off the point of the first tree so the 2nd tree could knock it down and not just impale it further. I realize now that the photo makes it look like it was in a complete tree, it was not not. It was impaled on the top of a busted stub which happened to be in line with another tree in the background.

After some more pines today, almost done with this area, come back in December or jan to burn the piles. Excited to replant in the spring, this area grows big wood, the problem is wind, planting pine should be a good fix well that one jumped a bit lol
