Those were solid trees! They will give you a workout cutting them up.Well, it was time to cut down these two trees,
My buddy and me, used the skidding winch on my tractor to winch out the hangers and then put the winch line high up in the tree to winch it over,
With that done, my buddy cut the notch,
and he did the back cut, then I winched the tree over. With the tree on the ground, we limbed and cut it into sections and winched the logs out of the way,
This tree was over 30" on the stump,
With THAT done, we put the winch line up in the second tree,
Then it was "rince and repeat", and this tree is even bigger, at over 40". Here's my buddy standing next to it,
That was enough for one afternoon, I'll get back on that project later!

Both of those trees are going to be firewood, but it's still going to take some work to get them there.Those were solid trees! They will give you a workout cutting them up.
