Some of you may remember the "Mweba had some fun today" thread, well the neighbor just to the west (right across the street from me) had a maple they wanted to get rid of and I was able to get to it today. Son Jeff came to help and brought the McCulloch 610 I gave him.
Not a very pretty tree, there were a few dead branches in the center, one large limb blew out earlier this year. Neighbor thought it would be a good idea to get it cut down before anything fell on on of theirs trucks parked in the driveway.
Here is a few from across the street, I was standing on the sidewalk in front of my house. Hey look, I got both of my trucks in one photo with the tree! Wow, I guess I didn't notice what a beautiful morning it was with the blue, blue sky.
First step was to cut off a few branches to make sure it fell the right way and none of the branches hit anything on the way down.
With that done, let's get this thing on the ground.
We started at 8:30 and my wife had a "brunch" for us at 10:00, look at the damage we'd caused by now.
Now this is a small town, so you can get by dropping a tree in the street and then working it up at you leisure. I pulled the red truck with the splitter across to block one direction, and the white truck with the trailer across to block the down stream side.
