    Is it just me or does the 555 look happier since being rescued from the graveyard and put back to work ? Sure put a smile on Mike's face😃

    Cap’n the Fifty Five siblings are certainly proving their worth. With Five doing the heavy lifting and Seven batting cleanup, they play nicely together… without a hint of sibling rivalry!
    Using a felling wedge to stop saw pinch on a trunk under tension is my go-to move also. I have been using it for years. Last fall I showed it to my brother in law. He’s been cutting wood for fifty years and had never seen it done before… so, I gave him a couple of plastic wedges for Christmas. He used them all winter!
    Glad to see you getting the trash trees cleaned up around the YT Yacht… it won’t be long until it graces the catalog pages of must see cabins world wide!

    Back when I was 15 to 16 years old, my Dad and myself were cutting firewood on a sawbuck when the Poulan Pro sprocket broke, dumping the chain at full tilt off and then the chain wrapped around my pant leg, rolled 360* around my leg, then shot off in another direction...
    A good case for always wearing chaps, but the chain tore my jeans, but never touched skin!
    All that dead ash wood is good for at this point is kindling and nitrogen replacements for the soil!

Sometime that is the easiest way to clean up a mess that is in your way. You can always get some dirt in your bucket yo hold the front end down when pulling from the backhoe. It helps a little.
