  • Heavy spring snow almost brought my tree on to my neighbor's house. The top is completely broken so the whole tree has to come down. It's leaning towards her house, so I have to keep it from falling on to her house.

    I've cut a lot of trees in my yard over the post 40 years (thankfully I'm done with that now) and this technique worked for me. I have a 100 foot, 3/4" nylon rope. I tie a the rope as high as possible up the tree truck, using my tractor I pull, stretching the rope until the tires start to slip. I cut the tree watching the top until I detect it beginning to move. I then advance the tractor again putting as much tension as the tractor will pull. At that point the rope is stretched banjo string tight and as I cut the base of the tree that elastic pull of the rope will direct the tree towards the direction of the pull until gravity takes over. Non-stretch material such as chains, cables, tow rope straps, etc only put tension on the tree until the tree moves forward a few inches. At that point the tree can then fall laterally and not necessarily in the desired direction. This has always worked for me. Thanks for posting.

    Great job on cutting back that sage brush, Herre in Texas the cedar is the issue in some places, and it acts just like the sage brush in that it sucks up the water and prevents the grass from coming up. Only have 2 acres of grassland at my tree farm so it is not to bad to mower with a riding mower. I really want a small tractor.

    I am certainly not a plant expert, but in the south we have a different variety(?) that we call sage grass. To knock it back farmers typically apply agricultural lime. One old farmer told me that sage is God's way of taking care of the land that is currently not being tended. Always made sense to me. Thanks.

It took double the time to grow back that cutting did. Wonder if it would work the same way with you sage brush?

    Sagebrush or more correctly Russian Thistle is definitely an invasive species and relatively new in the west. Maybe it was gifted to us by Russia after their badly negotiated Alaska deal.

    • @joescarborough1
      @joescarborough1 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Sagebrush and Russian Thistle are two different plants. Sagebrush is a perennial (Artemisia tridentata); Russian Thistle, or "Tumbleweed", is an annual (Salsola tragus). Sagebrush is a native plant; Tumbleweed was introduced by way of contaminated flax seed planted in South Dakota in the 1870s. Sagebrush remains isolated to the Great Basin areas; Tumbleweed has spread to nearly every US state and parts of Canada. The only relationship between the two is that they are both plants in the same taxonomic Class (Magnoliopsida, i.e., flowering plants)

      If I am going to remove it I will leave 3 ft so I can put a blade cat on that stump to push it. Seeing where that ash was in a fence line I'd say that wasn't an option. Drill holes and pour stump burner in there and it will rot out within a couple years. If worried about suckers which will be a problem for maples and honey locusts ,then paint it with Crossbow and diesel.
