Dean:
I have worked on a lot of Osage Orange.  What is on the ground 
represents a lot of work...  You are a better man than I !!  I wish you 
were closer, I would bring over the ol' D6D.  I started her up  today 
and finally unloaded the 30ft 24K lb 4post lift. The old girl fired up 
pretty quick, but started on 3 or 4 first then had to run a few seconds 
before it ran on all 6.  It needs a good workout....
