[AT] Nice working evening

[Dean Vinson]

Cecil, I wish you were closer too. :)    That D6 would speed up my clearing
efforts something fierce, and there's plenty of the osage orange to give it
the workout it needs!

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....

Temps jumped up into the 40s today, so after a morning of running errands I
enjoyed a couple more hours in my never-ending effort to push back the osage
orange trees, with the assistance of the chainsaw, log chain, and the Super
M.   Fairly big tree, probably 50 years old or so, with three trunks.   Two
of them were sloped so far over they were practically horizontal, and those
two are what's cut up on the ground behind and to the right of the tractor
in this photo.   The third one is relatively vertical and is still standing,
for the time being, and is visible in the photo behind the seat of the
tractor.

 

That third trunk, plus the tree immediately behind the center of the
tractor, plus the two trees to the right, all have a date with the chainsaw
before winter is out, followed soon enough by a process of rapid oxidation
accompanied by the spontaneous emission of heat and light.
