Taking out a tree

[Allen]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say someone's search history is not like the rest of ours.

A yes damn tree trimming guess I am one of those guys but when you have 500 of them in tree rows, and all around house etc...and many acres maintenance and damn weather makes it fun. Best thing was damn good dewalt pool saw and one small light weight saw and big one. Sthil is my friend

I have rid myself of all my Stihl, outside of my chain saw, and replaced with battery powered Milwaukee. Effn weed wacker would never start, and ran like shit when it would.

I would plant Russian Olives before I'd plant hybrid Poplar, I have a bunch of mature ones. Damn I hate those things!

Let's not get too carried away. I hate russian olives almost as much as cottonwoods and willows.

I have been chain sawing for ? well ever since the storm. We lost ten large Green Ash, six very large Ponderosa Pine, a willow, a silver maple, and my great producing pear tree. Most are broken off half way up the trunk.
I had a 75 ft 44 inch diameter cottonwood that stood dead for two years. The west portion of my yard is half a dozen apple trees, two pear, a couole cherry and plum. trees. I was sure that cottonwood was going to take out something. I measured out to the first two apples then cut off the limbs that high up the cottonwood. I managed to drop it without breaking anything.
I purchased a 52 inch saw much like a chainsaw, but it cuts both directions. With branches 8 inches and under you can do it alone. With larger branches it bites into to large an area so it requires two people standing apart.

those ropes saws are great - every few years we appreciate how handy they are

we trimmed a bunch of ugly “halloween” branches yesterday - their presence has irked me for many months
