Slaying a beast!!

[Timberhauler]

First,here's a few of our machine's...The auto-zoom was screwing up on the camera,but I did my best here.

That's one of the international's...Here's the chipper behind it...18 inch capacity...200 screaming "deere" power.

This is my old war wagon...F-450 ford,pulling the Bandit 250.

I didn't get to take any pics the first day,this is the tree after Todd had already spent a day roping limbs down.

They worked on it all day,I won't get to take any pics of the finished job,but here is another shot.

From where he is tied in,he has 150 feet of climbing rope,and when he came down the first time,he was twenty five feet from the ground,then he ran out of rope.That stump is seven and a half feet in diameter.There is no loader access of any kind..I'm gonna try to go back in the morning and get a few more pics...But I have to head out of town early,so I'm not sure if I'll have time or not.

We now have the tops out of it,but there is still those three trunks to block down that are still 50 feet tall.I'm gonna finish it myself Monday morning.I am not looking forward to lugging the 440 up there and manhandleing it all day.
