Big wood cutting mess.

[BJ64]

Most of my wood comes from cleaning up down trees that fall in the fields and on the fences. Some of these messes can get rather woolly.

Here is one such case. This pecan tree fell over a narrow but rather deep ditch. I have no idea what all is under it but so far I have not found anything too bad. I have been cutting on this mess for off and on as I get time and so far it has produced about a one and a third face cord without getting into much of the big stuff yet.

What is are big messes you all are cutting on?

Nothing as bad as recovering rounds from a ravine but after that dry hurricane last week I'm recovering a lot of topped and leaning hang ups. Fortunately I have tractor...but it still gets a little hairy sometimes.

Hi,

What you need is a long chain and a 4x4 of some sort. My suburban works well. I pull this kind of mess out of raviens all the time- which is the fun part. Bucking hauling and splitting is the bummer part.

Gosh I would guess pecan is a very good hard wood. It that right?
