About a week ago I was awoken by the sweet sound of chainsaws buzzing nearby. I looked out the window and was excited to see a tree crew across the street taking down a pretty large tree. When they had it all down and started loading up I went over and asked them about the wood, the guy said he was just gonna take it to a dump, I told him I had a dump waiting for him across the street 
The guys drove over the pieces with a mini loader. It was around that time I realized it was a sweetgum tree, but thats okay. I think I'll be renting a splitter for this pile. I actually like everything about gum EXCEPT splitting it. It drys fast and burns pretty well
Place your bets now on whether or not the little 170 will handle bucking these things up!

I hope you didnt bet against the little guy

Theyre all stacked up out back now, awaiting their date with a splitter
