trail clearing technique and tools

[kenmbz]

Or wait until after the next wind event?

Wind takes parts of the trees down, but Ash is pretty tough and breaks in really weird ways.

When these were in their last death throws I took dozens down from 20-100 feet tall (talk about a lot of firewood). I still have at least a dozen or so large ones deep in the woods, but being so large, hitting the trail is a very real possibility.

We hear tree drops all the time, so they are slowly dropping, hoping this winter finished them off.

Typical break, trail is at the end of this tree top about 60 feet away.

The above tree fell nicely along the trail

Three below all in various states of falling.

We just picked up a 20ft trailer and as some of you know, looking at used JD and Kubota tractors for trail work. Should I be posting those things here?

Dead and breaking trees are so, so dangerous and difficult to bring down......

Now, you will be in the same boat with the rest of us tractor/atv/utv owners - having to figure out how to properly split up your postings based on the equipment you happen to be using on a given day. But it is a good problem to have...

Yes... unless there is a train or boat in the background!
