3 Saw Plan, Fence Line Clearing

[Whiskers]

Got out this weekend with the FIL to clean up some fence rows. We were taking some limbs off a row of big mulberries, A lot of them were 5ft+ at the base and had multiple large stems. The FIL has a telehandler, which is an awesome tool to move around a bunch of wood. Here's a few pics.

Sorry about the bad pics, all I had was the cell phone.

The Start of our Pile, and part of the fence row

Here's the telehandler - During the course of the day that thing handled some giant limbs with ease.

Thanks Dano, it's pretty crazy how high tech cell phones are getting. On a side note, I also started the saws in my garage Saturday morning to make sure there weren't any issues before I headed out

Weren't mulberry trees imported to feed silk worms? Any silk history around there? Our silk making building is now at the Henry ford museum in Michigan. It is in the family of osage orange, mock orange, hedge apple, etc names which originates near you from what I understand.

I find it odd with three saws none are pole saws.

I believe there is a type of mulberry that is used to feed silk worms, but not around this area to my knowledge. Also not sure on its relation to hedge, but this stuff is pretty wet and ends up pretty good firewwod.

As far a pole saw goes, I've got one, but this wasn't a pole saw kind of trim job. This was a little more heavy artillary trimming. Everything we were taking off originated close to the main trunk, and averaged 12" in diameter. We also took down some larger whole trees. I would have taken down a few more whole but they had fence embedded in them.

Not sure why, but some guys seem to have an aversion to starting saws in their garage.

Probably cause their wifes tell them they can't..............
