I want to first clearly state that these types of threads can easily elicit responses that although well intentioned can lead to problems due to lack of information. In a nutshell it is impossible to give felling advice solely based on some crappy pictures and a sometimes incomplete or incorrect information. I understand that but heck I would really like to see what folks think. Also I know I am posting this in the chainsaw forum when it maybe better suited elsewhere. To classify it has a chainsaw question.....What saw should I use.
Here it goes. I have spent the better part of the last couple months cutting and burning brush around a farm we have rented for the last 35 years or so. As some know I have been "ot of "circulation" for 4 years so I have a lot to get done. While I was gone the brush and trees really took off. Another thread will follow soon about my misadventures Monday in cleaning up brush. In any event today I basically finished up one section of fencerow. I have been leaving this gnarly old Mulberry for last because to be honest I am not really sure how I am going to put it on the ground. It was a wet miserable mess today as I was finishing but I took some crappy pics anyway and will post them. As you can see it is a gnarly girl without a good central leader. It is very typical of Mulberry at least the ones here. Due to the fact that it is near the property line of an adjoining farm it must be brought down to the south which is the left side of most pics and where yo see the field and a bit of grass greening up. My neighbor (his wife) is really protective of his land and is also very partial to Mulberry for reasons I will never understand so I want to put it directly in my field and not have to deal with his(her) objections. As you can see there is also a 5 barb fence in the way. Of course i will need to address that. I already "accidently" tore out a bunch so what is a little more. I will try to attach the pictures and see what folks think. To make this chainsaw related which saw should I use and how big of bar?
