Well, first section all done and brush mostly burned.

Time to start on the larger section.

Looks good Casey!!

I like that type of clearing.

Neighbor would go in with the hoe knocking trees over and I'll follow behind cutting the stump off and tree into my wing span length.

We could get a lot done in a day.

Sadly, my hoe man doesn't have the sense to lay things out in an orderly fashion. He constantly wants to "help" me by holding the trees off the ground. First day we started he knocked me over trying to "help" me re-position a log. Ill get him trained but hopefully he doesn't hurt me in the process. I'm slowly weaning him off the need to be right next to me.

I hope that works out sooner than later for you.

Kind of a bummer when you have to worry about what is going on with the saw and getting buzzed by the bucket.

Hes a good operator, just impatient sometimes.
Those two statements don't belong together. (Not being judgmental, just something I've learned from experience...)

Edit: One of the other threads recently brought up trades working in to close to each other, and the increase in accidents. Fallers required to be two tree lengths from another faller, but operators, or road builders working in a smaller foot print of the fallers. People crowding and pushing people in the field so more money can be made in shorter time.

Be safe Casey...

Making our way to a monster oak at the end of the lane. You can see it in the center way back.

Destruction so far. My work truck at the end of the lane the other direction. You can just see the top in the lower right corner of the picture.

ETA: Guess its more centered than lower right.
