Hurricane Ike really pounded SE Tx. more than most of us expected. It took down a ~50 white oak tree in backyard and nice cedar in front yard. As luck would have it the tractor was in the shop to get a grapple put on, they did not get to it befor the hurricane so all the brush loading was done with just the pallet forks.
Over the last few days I moved many huge piles of brush to the streets edge for pick up for neighbors and friends supprisingly the pallet forks worked well if the brush was stacked right...
So the seat time was rather a bummer removing two of my nice trees.
Cedar trees in general took a beating in our area
Was a nice White Oak
Getting my power pole out the neighbors yard
Tractor would not budge it.. Almost M59 time
Lighten the stump by several hundred pounds in order to lift it out.
Finally got the Oak stump up:
Next was the cedar stump:
