Got my first job today!

[ShaneLogs]

I was hired to clear and cut back some good size cedars and some poplar and some maple to. It is on a walking trail that they are turning into a snowmobile trail. I can't wait to start now! The problem is I have to hike through some thorn bushes threw 2 fields to get into the woods and I'm not too sure how i'm going to get the wood out haha. All the wood I cut I can take for myself anyway.

You're supposed to keep your stumps low, then, huh? Happy shoveling.

Speed up your snowmobile before hitting the thorn bushes. If it didn't go through, reverse and give it another shot!

There's zero snow on the ground to contend with yet Sam.

Shane, if the ground is frozen enough, and the landowners would let me, I'd drive my truck right out there. If it's to be a club trail, then it should be wide enough for your truck. Start at the spot you can't go past with the truck, and get cutting. I wish I had all the wood I have cut for sled trails in the white mountain national forest and NH state forests. I'd have 100 cord of wood cut and split right now..but that stuff must be left. STUPID rule we have to abide. Private land is either the landowner or whomever the landowner gives it to.

I just got back about a hour and a half ago and I decided to bring the Stihl FS130 brushcutter and I cut about a 10 foot trail through the thorns and some baby maple and some baby poplar. I cut all the way through the field and trimmed up sections in the second field. I talked to the landowner this morning and he said that I can do anything I want to with the wood. I am thinking of bringing a snowmobile (If we get any snow ) or I might bring a snowmobile in and haul the wood out to my truck or I can just haul it down the trails and right into my house and yes, the ground is frozen it was 15 degrees today.
