Ed Kennell 35,943 #1 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) No no no, It didn't snow here in Pee Aaa. It's 55 degrees and sunny. So I felt it would be a good day to remove another one of my dead spruce trees. She fell as planned, missing my holly tree and my neighbors lamp pose and rail fence. The 312 plow tractor was selected to drag the tops to the burn area and it handled the first one although there was some spinning when I got off the stone road and on to the grass that was starting to thaw. The rubber chains on the 312 were just not providing the traction in the mud, so I had to bring out the 520 with the 2 link Vee Bar chains. This did the job in the quickly thawing ground. Anyone have use for a dry 15' spruce saw log....before I cut it up for camp wood? That's 5 down and 15 more to go.

Ed Kennell 35,943 #10 Posted January 21, 2018 Actually I have an old Remington that just won't quit. I wore out 3 Macs and this el cheapo Remington outlived them all. Problem is it no longer likes to run on it's side...fuel pick up or carb needs attention. So, I borrowed my Sons Ranch Hand Stihl to make the horizontal cuts. But went back to my old much lighter Rem as soon as I had it on the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
