My friend is clearing almost 80 acres of "mostly" Christmas trees. He had the guys doing the clearing leave the hardwoods and put them at the edge of the field. It's very steep where the tractor is parked, and i had to pull the tree's down hill before sawing out the logs and picking them up.
I bought all of the tree's after all of the firewood had been cut off them. Once on site, i measured and sawed out all of the logs. I guess i like "orange" as my tractor is "orange", my chainsaw is "orange" (Husky 268XP) and they both match my "orange" sawmill...
Once that was done, i carried them to my trailor. Here's a great "shagbark hickory" on the forks. It was the only tree that was still standing and had to be cut down. I got two nice logs out of the tree.
Here's a look at the first trailor load. I loaded the crooked tops to be sawn for firewood.
And here's the second load. These are sawn to 8' 6" and 10' 6".
As you can see i "Anchorsealed" the higher grade logs as soon as i got them home. (except a couple i had to trim first)
