My weekend tree removal pics, enjoy

[cb1]

So, I had a big (white) pine in my hard that was in the way and down she came. I'm sure you'll all point out my shortfalls, but I do with what I have. Roped the tree high, cut the roots on both sides, pulled and pushed together, missed by a couple of feet from a perfect landing. Oh, and about those 4 in 1 buckets, see the last picture.....

Thanks, cb1

What was wrong with the tree?

 

[cb1]

One, it had issues with bugs etc., at ground level. Looked worse than what it was. Second, it was in the way of more apple trees. I have approximately 200 apple trees and will be planting more.

what are you doing with the wood?...I had about 5 pine trees just like that...only not as tall I took out with a Takeuchi TL130....the smaller the machine the more challanging it is...nobody wants to do it the easy way..HAHA

 

[cb1]

I have one stick from that tree that was not to knotty for the saw mill. I have several other pine trees that I felled in the past year that are going as well. Too include a big oak. I just picked up a well used trailer that will haul my crawler and needs a new bed, so that is what I will use the oak for. The pine is for a new porch project.

good deal...i was hoping that you would say that instead of using it for fire wood...haha

when i cut mine down i hauled them to a friends farm and lit them up...i wanted to take them to a mill but apparently the closest pine mill to me is 2 hours away...it would have cost more in fuel then I would have got for the logs

 

[cb1]

Yeah, I get to be at the stacking end of the mill. That will be a long (fun) day....

Nice job CB with your crawler. Chainsaws are overrated!

Sweet pictures, and nice job with the 4-in-1 bucket!

I learned my lesson on big trees. Cut the tree and dig out the stump and you might as well be digging a basement. It takes about as long. Push the tree over with the stump attached and wallah..
