Felling Lots of Trees Today

[Marine5068]

Will be dropping about 20-30 trees today on my property.
I'm clearing a side for a large retaining wall and double carport excavation project.
Maybe 10 will be bigguns.
2 Red Oak, 1 Eastern White Pine, lots of large Trembling Aspen, and some medium sized White Cedars.
I'll try and get some pics and videos to post.

Here are some of the trees we felled Saturday.
Worked about 9 am-3 pm.
We didn't do The White Pine or any Cedars yet.
First 3 pics are the two Red Oaks.
The last pics are the Trembling Aspens. There were about 10 large Aspen to drop.
I think I'll have LOTS of kindling now, and some nice Oak boards and Oak firewood.

I'm guessing fence wire nailed to the tree.

Maybe he's gonna flip them out with a back/track hoe?

Also..the older I get the taller the stumps get!

Can't speak for OP but I usually cut at 32" above ground clearance. My firewood is 16" and I'd rather finish it after the trees down. 32" is a handy height for a bad knee challenged old man.

Squirrels like them high. So do I. Flush cut them later when I am in the mood and not too worried about keeping a sharp chain. Different strokes for different folks. Ron
