Last couple of loads from my thinning project

[nikocker]

Had a chance to get out in the woods again for a good purpose rather than waiting for non-existant deer!!
I've been working on thinning out about 15 acres of hardwood on my property this year. Taking out about 40 - 50 trees so far on about 5 of the 15 acres. most of them are smallish about 6 - 12 " diameter, mostly maple with some smaller ash.
Well Saturday it was a comfortable 18 degrees outside and I was able to just about finish bucking the last of those first trees before we get some real snow. Gave the 346NE and the 435 a good workout. Took out two trailer loads.
If the snow doesn't get too deep this year I may just continue felling more of the 150 or so trees I have marked.
Thought I'd share a few photos with you.

Nice looking woods. Sounds like you have enough cull trees to keep you busy for a little while Gotta love spending time in the bush, and hard work, very good for the soul.

Nice set-up , it looks like that trailer is set up to dump? You are going to need the 4 wheel drive on that tractor after this week. Depending on were in Wi you are located after this week we should have 8" - 13" of snow on the ground. Might have to put chains on to get out in the woodlot.

Were in WI are you located I am over buy the foxvalley area.

Yeah I had that trailer made for the Kubota. I drew the plans and D&S trailer in Plover fabbed it up - and it is set up to dump.

Not looking forward to the snow they're predicting for this week.

We live over by Stevens Point - however our land is up north.

Nice tractor, nice wagon!

Don't worry about snow too much... I have first hand experience with an L2250; I've had snow past the front axle several times, and it still goes just fine, even uphill! Looks pretty flat out there. Just get some tall boots

Hmmmm, never thought about it...

I wonder if the chainsaw chaps will act like gators to keep the snow out of my boots? Although hopefully I won't need to find out this year and can just play indoors if we get deep snow!

I have thick calves, they don't make hiking gators big enough for me.
