I have a good neighbor who asked me if I'd like to cut on a limb which had fallen onto his property . I went over to his pasture and sure enough there was the biggest Hackberry limb I'd ever seen. I didn't look around to see the tree it had split from but it must have been 150 years old (just guessing). He had drug it to a burn pile with his tractor.
I cut branches off this limb 6-8 inches in diameter. That limb section was 391 inches to begin with. I cut 22 rounds which were 14-1/2" long each. I left a section which was about 6-feet long which was gnarled and twisted glad to leave that piece alone.
Came home with 16 rounds and a couple small pieces on the trailer and 6 rounds in the truck. Another trip home I had the pickup full of bucked pieces from the branches.
Oh yeah, these rounds except for about 6 of them are way too heavy for me to pickup. I have a crane on the back of my pickup. I have a TSC Big Red engine hoist I've modified by putting a winch on it and I can lift the up to the splitter.
