I'd like to see a pic of all these 3/4 sheets stacked up on a truck.

You've never seen plywood stacked before, Goobs?

Not that many. Must look like a fat guy ordering flapjacks at an IHOP.

Anyway.... :fuckyou:

Week long project. They're taking all the big Norway maples out and replanting with native species. We've trucked about 100 yards of chips out and have to haul around 30 cords of logs.

Another day of doing things the hard way... lol.

Another day of doing dead ash removals.
For a change of pace there was a dead cherry in there as well

Back at this thing today. A little climbing, a lot of wood from the bucket. Still got the last, worst part of the trunk left. Time to sharpen the 42". Really ugly piece of wood!!

Went to the PJ trailer dealer today, looking to order a dump trailer to help get the wood out. 16 ft with 4 ft high sides. triple 7000 lb axles , goose neck. With upgraded ram. cross members and tires. they would have to build it and would take about 6 weeks, so they say. 21000 gvw, trailer weight about 5500 lbs. About $12000,00. Cheaper then a dump truck and less on dmv fees every year and taxes. Anyone else use a dump trailer ?

If you're gonna go that far, what about a log trailer?

 

[OLD OAK]

That would be nice to have but bigger $$ then the trailer. A grapple truck would suet my needs better then the trailer but that would Be REAL big for the one i want. We do a lot of big clean outs for a garden center with the bobcat and then they comes in and plant when we are done. so the trailer would be good for that and the wood from removals. Now we have to take the tops off the chipper truck with the crane every time we do a clean out or load a lot of wood. Not very time efficient Trying to buy the best thing for all jobs, and not spend money i dont have.

Finished this job in 6 days. Took about 200,000 pounds of wood out. Ground stumps and hauled grindings. Now they're gonna replant with native trees.

So you're done with that little daisy patch now? Lol

 

[treebilly]

Did you get the replanting part of the job? Although it doesn't happen very often, I always enjoy doing that.

No and I'm glad. I have too much on my table and I don't need another 6 day crusade. These people are awesome to work for though.

Daffodils mds. Daffodils.

Doing a little trimming today, only took 2 of us 3.5 hrs to trim the bottom off 24 trees in this warehouse parking lot. This is why I need a big dump trailer. Tops are off the chip truck for a clean out I have to do.

 

[OLD OAK]

One more

 

[gorman]

That's a big chipper for those little branches. Lol!

 

[OLD OAK]

Yea, but it's the only one I have. Biggest limb was about 3 inch but 12 + foot long. They hadent been trimmed in years, if ever. The mower guys could not get under them to mow.
