On my way back from my lunch break I saw some county tree guys taking down a large oak. So after work I grabbed my 2171 and headed back over there. They had the limbs and brush chipped and the trunk was on the ground, near the road. I walked over to the crew leader and asked if I could have the trunk. He said "Have at it". It was a 32", 20' log. I started cutting 16" rounds and then went to quartering them. After getting 2, quartered the crew leader walked up and asked if I was going to quarter all of the rounds. I said that was the only way I could load them in my pick-up. He told me to move my truck and back up to the chipper. He then loaded up the rounds in the back of the truck with the grapple on the chipper. We were able to get quite a few on the 1 ton. And what was left of the trunk he lifted and set on blocks so it was easier to cut. Heck of a nice guy! Even gave me his card, and asked for my number. He does side jobs and said that he would hook me up with wood.
