Timber!

We are fortunate to live in the North Woods.  Unfortunately the white birch are a short lived tree and a constant maintenance issue.  8 trees near the garages, wood shed, and house needed to come down, so our good friends Custom Care took them all down and left me a new pile of logs to attack with my new chain saw.

I'm fascinated by specialized equipment.  This guy is for picking up logs and brush.  The operator stands on a small platform in the back along with about 500 pounds of lead to counter balance the load.

Ready to rumble!



You can see a log on the way to the ground here.

  1. We need to get a crew like that to deal with our maples trees along the drive - most of them need serious pruning! Karyl
