Trying to get a head and these will definitely help.
I finally had a chance to get after these two maples before they leaf out and make for a lot more clean up. They were both just over 90' tall and as clean as maple get around here. They were a ways off the driveway down in a hole so I used a piece of haywire and hung it through a block chained around the fir tree in the pictures. It wasn't much but gave me enough lift to pull the logs out close enough to the driveway so I could lift them all the way out with the tractor. I didn't have to buck the 2nd tree to get it close, but might still have to to get it all the up on the road. Hopefully the pictures make it clear.
