I think thats related closer to a prius. :D
 
That is exactly what I wanted in a 4 x 4. But my wife is not having anything to do with a van because she thinks they’re creepy[emoji23]
. So I just got a 1 ton gasser truck instead.

The truck is been a blessing in disguise though. One instance was when I took about 10 truckloads of black locust anda few logs were full of carpenter ants

Those things were all over my bed and gladly not inside of the van I wanted.

Garter snakes had a feast when those logs got home[emoji23]

That's funny, I'd be running around inside the van with my little torch getting them all the whole time my wife would be saying your gonna burn this thing to the ground, probably a good thing I don't have one either lol.
 
I was talking to a good fried of mine yesterday. said he had ordered a 100ft of 3/8 cable to pull a tree down in his back yard. Why didnt you call me I said, I have that much cable I use to drag trees out of the woods with. Got several shorther lenghts as well. He says, he didnt think about me, but I could have the wood if I wanted it. Said he had a few more trees down below the road he was going to try and pull out as well. I said, you know I do have a winch on the back of a tractor I sometimes use for dragging trees out. In that case, He said he had a few more trees below the house he wanted to cut as well, but cant get to them with the tractor. Well, I happen to have a couple of snatch blocks we can use to redirect those trees around the house. I could tell he was getting all giddy with the news of equipment to get out the trees. I told him, leaving for florida Thursday, but when I got back I would drive over and look at what he had and we could make a plan on how to get the wood out. sound like enough wood to do me a couple of winters and its only about a mile from my house.
 
Thought I was in FarmerSteves back yard this morning. Dead Red Oak every where. Got there at 8:30, had it all cut up by 9:30. Tried to start the tractor, no go. Had to load it all by hand. Forgot to get a pic of the trailer, it's a Pequea C500. Was home by 11:30. 19* is just a tad cool for a long sleeve T-Shirt and a zip up sweat.

Good equipment can pay for itself.

The rest of us just call it Spring.... and I wish it would get here already. Winter is nice, but at this point I think we've all just about had the ***** of it.
Not I. Need one or two more snow falls to complete the funds for my unnecessary overpowered 6 cube purchase.
 
View attachment 720706 I made a tree fall down today. Thought it was a pin oak but it's looking a bit yellow to be oak. Hope it's more mulberry. I'll have to look closer hands got cold so I went inside for a minute.
Mulberry James. Pics. From the saw pinching tree down in the pasture.:dumb2:
