It's been a rough winter in Maine and I'm dealing with lots of trees and limbs that came down from two back-to-back ice storms. One tree glanced off the roof of my barn damaging the metal roof and it will have to be replaced pretty quick. I don't have a grapple, but I've been happy with the ability of moving lots of bulky branches using my forks. I've thought of getting a grapple, but honestly don't think I could justify the expense. I'm fine doing a bit of physical labor outside of the seat sometimes because I feel that if you don't use it, you lose it.
Spent a couple hours cutting the tree apart and loading it to a temporary location until it stops raining so I can start a fire and add to it. At least I was able to add to my wood pile for next years firewood.
Next, it's on to over-seeding areas of the lawn that are slow to come in this spring.
