AbsolutelyI think alot of folk would like that.

That’s pretty cool to have seen that tree grow through the years.Well, nothing like what you guys cut, but this is what I felled today. It is a Norway Maple about 35 years old. I actually have pics of it when I first moved in, and my kids were taller than it was!
Had to drop it because I park my truck next to it, and it had a good sized Rot Spot, so I was afraid it would come down in a wind storm and destroy my truck!
My Asian 440 Big Bore did the larger stuff and my MMWS 261 did the limbing and smaller bucking. Every time I pick up that 261 it feels like a little Tonka Toy, you rev it and it does not "torque you" at all, and then you start cutting with it and it is just so sweet for such a little saw!
I figured there would be less mess before the leaves fully came out, but dragging all the limbs away was a pain in the neck!

Yea, I actually had to save it from the first wife and the kid next door who were beating the crap out of the scrawny little thing with the lawn mowers. I temporarily tied it up and put a little fence around it, and it flourished! Too bad it developed that rot area where a branch had been removed. The lean was just right to provide shade over my truck and the dense leaves (Norway Maple canopy is very thick) protected the truck (and previous vehicles) from hail.
All of the other removed branches healed over, but not that one!
Sounds like a good way to get a new truck
