Missouri Mule Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Picture doesnt do it any justice. But it's a 14' dump trailer stacked to the moon. About all a 3/4 ton wanted to handle. Bad thing is this will last me a couple weeks is all. This particular load was for my bil who was down hard with covid. Double pneumonia so it's a while before hes gonna feel like swinging a maul. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Ash tree down. Must have been dead longer than I realized, kind of exploded when it hit the ground. Not as bad as last years Elm. Nice to have good help, didn't have to work near as hard today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHC-DK Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I could ad a little too ? Helped my FIL this summer get some ash out of a pretty swampy area. Only chance to get it out as trail is flooded in winter time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Spent another day with the saws. Uncle/helper came up, needed firewood, I have plenty. Only put two loader buckets full on the pile, all walnut. While he was here i dumped 11, (I think) large Silver Maples. Must be getting braver, some of the ones I cut today I was thinking of having a pro do. Who knows, another 15 years or so I may have this place cleaned up. All I know is the MS362 with 25" bar was worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
