I’ve spent a good part of the last few weeks cutting up firewood and hauling branches from the old maple tree that came down a couple weeks ago. The day finally arrived to try to move the main trunk sections down to the burn pile in the pasture. It was a true case of tractor vs tree. Tree won the first round. I needed to cut one part of the trunk in two as the tractor could barely budge it. That was the first time the tractor had been denied.
So, here’s the first section, almost ready to be released to the pile.
More sign that the tree put up a good fight. I now have an “opportunity” to reseed the area around the tree and the dragging path in the pasture
The big trunks all in their place. It’ll be a warm December fire when these guys light up!
