Not looking forward to this

View attachment 602987 View attachment 602988 View attachment 602989 Put about 2.5 hours in yesterday and now feel better about the tree. Hard to tell in the picture but there is a lot of wood in this thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 5 cord tree when done. The larger rounds in the one picture are around 30"-35" in diameter - glad I can use his backhoe to load them up! I have about 2-2.5 hours of cutting left before I start to load up and haul away. I could easily fit inside the burned out stump.

4 cords is my guess from the pic.

Nice job, glad you got through that one without any issues.

Finally got the chance to finish this tree today. Finished cutting and hauled out 3 pretty full loads. A full load is 2 cords so it's safe to say this was a 5 -5.5 cord tree. The last pic is the mess that's left. It will get pushed up around the stump and burned.

Knew you could do it.
