Maybe I can rustle up some trading material to convince Jim to just leave it in my saw tree...
And stuff...
Maybe I'll hoard an entire army of 5100's right in my shop...
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I don't think you have worked enough hedge. Locust loses the thorns as you go up the tree, and hedge just gets worse.


I HATE chipping hedge. It's a full time job just to get the branches down the chute.

Well, I've worked enough Hedge in the last 24 years to have an opinion, BUT I will stipulate that I've never had the misfortune of having to chip it. Luckily, on the ranches I cut it on, we have those cool thingys called burn piles and diesel fuel... It's MUCH easier that way.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: I have Chipped Locust before and that's a royal PITA... :bang:

I may have to find one of those cute 'lil Dolmars... And then have Stumpy break it for me!!!

You'll have to come on over in April and there might be one available...
I'm cornering the market on 5100's...

Yep. I figured you were not one of the tree-climin' idiots that are often found in other forums. Although the honey locust are absolutely viscious on the ground level, they aren't too bad up in the canopy.

Damned hedge is so twisty-turny-interwoven, you have to tie a rope to the branch you just cut off and have several groundies yank and pull to get it out of the tree. Then...you have to cut it up and stuff it into the chipper, while missing the thorns. Strangely enough, about 1/2 the hedge trees I work on have no thorns. I never have figured that one out...

If all I ever had to do with hedge was cut 'em down and burn the brush, I might not mind it so much.

Chipping honey locust into a chuck 'n duck is about the worst thing a man can be asked to do.

Did my research. It turns out there are a bunch of thornless varieties.

"One natural thornless variety (Malclura pomifera inermis), and a number of thornless cultivars (Wichita and White Shield are the most thornless) are available in the nursery trade. The cultivars are male selections to eliminate fruit problems. Osage-orange has a tetraploid genetic system. It has been found to hybridize with Cudrania tricuspidata"
 
How it hangin' folks? What is the official date for the GTG? Feb 20 something???
