You have your own and way that is cool, but I still work from the bottom up and flush cut everything.

I thought about that, but haven't done it yet. I tie it down with a criss cross pattern (same as your shoelaces) and then trim up the sides to keep stuff from hangin over the fenders.

Really. That would have made it easier. I might get one after the summer, who knows maybe before. Depends on work load, as this will be my first spring/summer.

Gimme a 066 with a 20" bar and I would cut that trailer load down to two feet tall.

Goduncle might get me for sure, but the 2nd pic (img 0232) showed a split-trunked pine right behind the leaner that was removed. Loss of the leaner makes the split tree much more likely to fail, since it is newly exposed to wind, etc.
So by removing instead of pruning the leaner, the treecutter may have left that bldg in more danger than he found it. Carl, did it occur to you to sell a reduction of the leaner? In pines locating the cuts is simple, if you know how to position yourself to do it and control the ends after they're cut.
Harder work, but the challenge is fun. Cheaper for the client, and much less crap to load on that alleged trailer rig you have. (With a chipper you could have mulched the remaining trees.)
OK Mr, Goduncle, I'm outta here, no cement shoes for me.

But why, it was plenty low to ride with. And I didn't have to drive very far at that.

You can't just put a disclaimer and consider yourself exempt! Carl, for less than 20 bucks you can have glasses and a helmet. If anything, it gives the customers the impressions that you are safety conscious. There are other benefits that you might be interested in, as well.
Carl, we know there will soon be some pics of you on here flaunting your new helmet and glasses.....let's see 'em!
love

Not really an option, as the roots were failing on the leaner. The split pine is in the center of the clump, so it will still be protected somewhat, albiet less.
I wish I had a chipper, no agrument there, however my trailer has 2' tubing sides, and then I lace the rope between the upright, tieing off the end, lacing to the back and then back up.

I sent Rocky a PM asking the flaws, but he hasn't responded. I have the glasses. What type of helment do yall use, a hard hat, or the rock climbers helment. I was think about the rock climbers helment, but then again I saw some hardhats (stihl) up at the shop, so I might pic up some of them instead.
