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....<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
