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. |

You can see a log on the way to the ground here. |
We need to get a crew like that to deal with our maples trees along the drive - most of them need serious pruning! Karyl
