Another top cut up today

[stihl sawing]

Second load and the mangled tree, there is still another load to get from the tree, have to get it tomorrow if it don't rain today. Almost got stuck getting out, thought I was going to have to use the winch for a bit, but finally crawled out in granny low.

I like it, haven't got to use the skidder part yet, but the pickaroon part works great. It also has a replacable tip if I bugger it up.

You go slow in this weather ,and drink gallons of water or Gatorade .

Can't go back for a few days cause of all the rain we had yesterday, but those days I cut I would drink about six quarts of Gatorade and probably three of water.

Put some wider tires on that truck. It help get you in and out in muddy spots and will also help the truck carry more of a load. I put 33 12.50s on my old truck, I get anywhere I need to go with a cord on the back.

Some great pictures posted. What a shame to lose all those mature trees, but that is mother nature. Looks like you have your work cut out for you!! Can you drive right up to all those trees? i would love to be in your shoes with all that wood on the ground!!!
