I'm clearing the back acre of my property so as to put a storage building there sometime next Summer. I had dug the roots all around on this massive ailanthus cluster with the backhoe and was able to knock 3 of the larger outside trees down. The New Holland simply didn't have the weight to be effective against the remaining 7 tree cluster, at once. I was going to try to get a friend to bring a crawler over to try to push the cluster over.
Here's the incredible luck: we had some severe wind lately and apparently the wind did the work! Thank God that the cluster fell in exactly the one spot that I had already cleared! If it had fallen about any other way it would have fouled the numerous lucust trees around it. That WOULD have been a nightmare! Boy, if it weren't for the Grace of God and total dumb luck I'd be in trouble! I better run out today and buy a Lottery ticket!
