Thanks! It was a big rotten black willow on a golf course. We took down a bunch of them. The deal was just to cut them down and they clean up. After they realized how much wood there was they said do what you gotta do to get that crap outta here we will fix the grass. Surprisingly it didnt do much damage at all. We stayed off the greens and fairways obviously. Found some golf balls inside the trees. Had to break out the big shot and launch a few at the end of the day!! Log truck is the way to go if stuff is already on the ground and you can get close to it. Put the logs on the truck set the brush near or right in the chipper and keep on rockin.

Not that many interesting trees this year for me, mostly was just gittin 'er done. This liquidambar was a memorable job, and the biggest liquidambar I've done. Took 2 and a half days, and ended up being about 70 cubes in all told. We're down to the last leader in this pic, the roof in the background is the second story. For scale, I'm 6'3 and 260#, the saw is a 660 with a 3' bar. I think that crotch is probably about 20' up.

I keep an old camera in the truck and my wife takes pics when she's on the job which is a lot these days. They do look posed but we don't get as many good action shots for some reason. It's amazing what a few good photos on a website will do for business. It's fun to see other people photos on here. Keene's nice....where are you now?

I take it all back cause I see you have definately smooshed yer ballsack a time or two. All kidding aside I suggest you get rid of that saddle before it gets rid of you.

Just curious, why? It's old and no-frills but as far as I know it's safe.

I have 3 of the exact same saddles , they are a great no frills "work" saddle I think you'll learn the more ya post here if someone doesn't recommend you to reinvent the wheel there will be nothing left to talk about , great pics BTW. Think of how dreadful it would be here if we were all robots that said " your right" and hey " great job" LOL

looks like theirs a big shot in it. Judging by the size of this tree he likely had to use it.
