    Here is some pictures of a climber I hired for a couple of days and his truck and chipper. He helped me out on an apartment complex trim of 52 trees. None of them were spectacular or anything. Pretty mundane.

    If I didn't already have a tractor that does what I want I would be looking at something like that.

    I think I did, about 40 years ago OM. Is that where Cary Grant is getting chased by some spies, and they use an old biplane in one segment of the chase? OK I cheated and looked it up on the net. Yeah I can barely remember it.

    Here is a cropduster spraying the neighbor's field and turning over my field. The airplane is made by Grumman and is an Ag Cat. Originally with a 450 hp Pratt and Whitney radial and this one was upgraded to the 600 hp motor as they kept breaking the head bolts on the 450.

    Was it as comfortable as it looks?

    Here is one of 18 pine trees we removed at an apartment comlex in Oakdale. We were able to fall 2 of them and the rest had to be climbed.

    A while back I was using my cousin's shop and some hay haulers showed up to get a load of bean straw.

    Nice work, we need a little video of the mini in action.

    We have been doing a lot of work nurturing our feminine side over here as of late.:wave:

    Don't get him started.

    Yes it does. Sometimes most of the wood is small but in general it is almost as good as oak. There are several operators locally who will remove your orchard for the wood and one of them I know does about 5000 cord/year.

    Ah, see now you can't get that kind of detail from a dictionary.

    Almond is the predominant wood here as the orchards are being removed when they get old. The only part of the tree that is large enough to require splitting is the trunk and it usually branches out a couple feet from the ground and is full of knots. Virtually impossible without a hydraulic splitter.

    wax lyrical to talk about something with a lot of interest and excitement.

    Here is my kids at Yosemite Falls.

    Me too.

    Yeah, all the way to the driver's head.

    Thanks. I wouldn't say there is a lot of eucs here, but as you know they can get pretty large and seem to represent a pretty good segment of the removals. The job took about 6 hours with about 4 hours of actual on-site work and a couple of hours of dump runs and moving the equipment home at the end of the day.

    It looks like those old weapons carriers on steroids.

    That buzz saw looks dangerous.

    Welcome to the club.

    Here is a euc that we took out a few weeks ago. We felled the limbs indivually. I loaded the brush in my trailer, took it to the dump then loaded the firewood up in the trailer.
