5 acre woodlot.

If you are going to farm, you want those roots out of the soil. Best to dig those stumps out. If you have access to a dozer leaving the stumps long does allow for them to be pushed out. If you have a backhoe, like me, them leaving them long makes them easier to locate for digging out.

Going to try to upload some pics of me chipping my way through Ponderosa Pine supervised by the boss, a pic of the boss, and a two year old photo of the place. The "place" is 9 acres located in Eastern Washington. Not really a woodlot, more like an escape lot that can provide a little wood. It looks a little different now, but progress is slow.

Thanks for the pictures fix a truck. Dogs are the boss for sure. Looks like you are having some fun. My fun was put on hold by the Easter storm we just had. Got about 10 inches of snow with this late season storm. One of my services of my company namely Green Acres, is blowing snow. Off comes the logging winch and on goes the blower. Hopefully things will dry up and melt in a few days and I can get back at it. Until then have fun and keep in touch.

If you have a backhoe, dig around the tree a bit, usually three sides, then push the tree over, stump and all. Way easier to get the stump out. We find it a little safer for felling as well. Fairly easy to control the tree's direction.

Well cycle-gater you have yourself a nice dog. I had 3 sheppards since I was 5 years old. Man I love those dogs. First thing I am goin get for my property is a border collie or a black faced sheppard. Every man needs a boss because as humans we are not smart enough to look after ourselves. You can count on those buddies to help. Until then enjoy your Washington property and the heck with the rest of the world.

Amen to that brother. She is actually half Golden Retriever and half Rottweiler. We call her a rotten retriever, but she is great company.
