cuz it's $30 a load, but since there isn't much but red maple to cut on this property anymore, I wanted to get something with a bit more heft.
Funny, this guy is a college prof. He's been digging out and chopping the roots with an axe, then uses a house jack to lift the stumps out. He trims the limbs down to the trunk with a bow saw. Used a bottle jack to split some of the multiple trunks. Rolls or drags them up to his driveway with a sled. I wish I had some pics of the process! 5 trees took him 4 months. And all three of his immediate neighbors have Kubotas sitting outside. Glutton for punishment, I guess. Couple of pix of the loads at home.
