my buddy started on the limbs monday. i took the 026 down earlier to check it out. sawed a few more limbs but thinking we need the tractor and log chains to help get it in a better position for sawing. gotta do something quick it. it's blocking a main deer trail that goes past my one stand.When are you going to clean that mess up?

When was the last time you had a truck that outlasted the engine? Just sayin. Usually my vehicles rust or wear out (or I get sick of em) long before the motor goes. The chevs are good trucks ( don't let my brother in law hear me say that lol. I give him heck for driving chevs) but if you want to look good while hauling wood, get a ford! Lol.Yep, that's what I did too. Plus, the National Guard has a %50 tuition waiver with colleges in MD. That's how all my kids will go to college. There's no way I'm going to put all 5 of my kids through college and save for retirement. I've started their training by making them do push ups when they screw up.
Do you have a different set of tires on the rear? Looks like much more aggressive tread in the back.
I do really like the looks of the Ford. As far as styling, for me its probably the Fords then Chevy then Dodge.
Yep, there's absolutely no reason I should buy a diesel lol. Hopefully my rational side will prevail and I end up with a 5.3 Chevy.
I read the 5.3 motor is the predominate engine in Chevy trucks and SUVs. You can buy a whole engine from wrecked vehicles for under $500. Hopefully my wife will convince me to buy the Chevy.

@farmer steve Don't you just love it when Ma nature give you prime wood like that Stay safe untangling that mess.pics ain't the best but here ya go. monster oak fell over and took with it an ash,maple and poplar plus assorted limbs from some other trees.
Ok. Let me rephrase that. When was the last time a newer truck has outlasted it's engine. Lol. I would expect an 87 to have had an engine or two. Ambull01 said he was looking to spend around $20,000. Should be able to find a real nice truck for that coin and not have to worry about the engine for a while. My last two trucks I drove for 14 and 12 years respectively, and I still see them driving around town. Both had well over 200k of my heavy foot.My '87 C-30 is on it's 3rd engine according to the previous owner. But to be fair, each engine has gone about 100k so far ( I bought at 285k on it's 3rd engine, and it's still going strong)
I run cooper discoverers. Had real good luck with them.Cooper discoverer a/t 3. I love them for a combo of off road and street.
Sounds great!Sold a face cord of gnarly pieces of soft maple that my splitter didn't like and a bunch of short ends. All scrounged. Going to help fund my French River interior canoeing/fishing trip.
probably a little of both. the land where that tree is was leased for hunting. not sure what's going on there this year. gotta saw and haul as much as we can.Thats no good, archery season is coming quick. Are you going to pull it out of the way and cut it up in the winter or try to make it firewood now?

I run the a/t3's as well and have had good luck as wellI run cooper discoverers. Had real good luck with them.
How much property do you farm?probably a little of both. the land where that tree is was leased for hunting. not sure what's going on there this year. gotta saw and haul as much as we can.
It will certainly hold does in the area and where there are does eventually there will be bucks.Ford's 5 ltr motors, both the old pushrod one and the new OHC one will last half of forever if properly maintained.
Farmer, cut those trees right before the season, the deer will not be able to resist coming in and seeing what has change in their woods.
