I know you guys were all rooting for me, but I had to call it quits. The last load he tried to dump in the low section of the yard - it was just too soft once he got off the driveway. So until I process more or the ground freezes I'm not taking any more.
Got to know when enough is enough I reckon. Sure was easy pickins tho!!
 
This is the type of cherry tree I’m aware of, I’m guessing you on here are talking about completely different trees that don’t produce fruit. Must be an Eastern thing.

These were 5 field grown Black Cherry, the stump on the big one was almost 4' across, and they were in the 60-70' tall range.

Keep threatening to get a 4 wheeler but they are so high I’m tempted to get an older Jeep.
I kinda fell into this one. Buddy took it on trade for his boat and made me a deal. It is super clean, came with a plow, and the size is just right as about the smallest 4x4 they sold. I got it for the kids, not for firewood duty though. I said I got it for the kids! It's for the kids!!

The cherry I was talking is wild black cherry . Fruit is edible but it grows to very large tree . There are plenty of them on the property I cut but I wont take down a healthy tree . So its usually small ones that the town cut alongside the road or damaged by a blowdown .

Keep threatening to get a 4 wheeler but they are so high I’m tempted to get an older Jeep. Thinking future repairs too. I hear repairs costs on 4 wheelers are insane. Not settled yet tho. A 4 wheeler would sure be more nimble and quick.

Why do you guys call quads by a name that was already taken? Four Wheeler magazine started in 1962, and it’s about Jeep, Landcruiser, Scout, Blazer, pickups, etc. I’m in a 4WD club with “Four Wheelers“ in the name, it’s referring to the people who drive Jeeps, Toyota’s, etc. Interesting, the differences we have in our country.

If you're talking about transportation and pulling reasonable loads, 4-wheelers are super reliable with very low cost of ownership.
 
Mark, my upstate property is mostly Black Cherry and Ash, so if you need some Black Cherry let me know, the storms knock trees down on a regular basis.

Wild Black Cherry cherries are much smaller, but the bears love em, they go around and pick them up like vacuum cleaners! Almost always find cherry pits in their droppings.

That would be doable . Sometime when its warm though
 
I’m not picking on you guys for being different, I just like to learn stuff.
Like Mark said, truckers refer to all cars and light trucks as 4 wheelers. Like, "I just runned over a four wheeler! Hope it didn't knock any of my Christmas lights off ma bumper".
