    I never would have thought the subject of farming, building and raising animals would be of interest to me at my age. However, your positive attitude, good nature and seemingly unlimited amount of energy and ideas has won me over. i tell you, it's hard waitng on your next video sometimes. lol Take care, Evan....we need you around for many more years to see what your inventive mind is going to come up with next.

    The good thing about your farm work Evan, is that with a good proportion of it you get , almost , instant gratification. Like the work you are doing now.
    But parts of it you have to wait , sometimes for a long time, like growing and harvesting fruit trees.
    But , either way, it’s great for us !!
    Thank you Rebekah and Evan !

    I was glad to hear you say you would make part of the black cherry into lumber, that is the most beautiful wood you can get in my opinion. I think several of the limbs would make 2 x 4's. Good luck and good video.

    Glad to see you get through the job safely. Tree cutting is very dangerous, and trees do unpredictable things. I can see your progress as you have cut more and more trees over the years, and you're learning more all the time. You're very good at keeping safety first, keep up the good work.

    Thanks Evan.. Single player here. when no one is around to pull on the rope as it will always go side ways cause all the pull is lost as the tree starts to move. I use some big heavy weights on the rope a few feet out from the tree.
    I have used a 55 gal drum full of Water about 10 ft off the ground HAHAHAHAHA Double dramma the crash of the Barrel and the Tree falling on it ..
    use can also use a Bottle jack to steer the Tree. Gotta be a large tree for that to work

    When having trees close enough to power lines contact the local utility and most will dispatch a tree crew to get those trees on the ground without cost to you.

  • @artsitter922

    You did a good job today Evan, glad you came out okay with the two times they went the little off course and you falling. When we get tired we sometimes forget and we have both been fortunate. Looks good and when you get the clean up done you'll really feel good about your work. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

  • @terrycastor8299
    @terrycastor8299 Před 4 měsíci +2

    I know you use a pellet grill, but that cherry wood is really awesome to use for smoking meat. Maybe you could add some chips to your pellet grill? I've never used one so I don't know how picky they may be to fuel sources.
    I had a 70 ft cherry die and was leaving toward where I parked my truck. I took it down during the COVID scare. I still have almost a full cord of wood. I use it for smoking It gives the meat a really nice flavor

  • @possumholler05
    @possumholler05 Před 4 měsíci

    Don’t forget, the 3 pt hitch has quite a bit more lift capacity than the loader does, if you can get up to something close enough like that one smaller one you kept rocking but couldn’t get to come out, you could probably break it loose from the ground with a chain around your lift arms. Good safe work on those trees!

    Cool trick wedging that side tree off the last tree. It was a little counter intuitive. I'm tucking that one away for a rainy day.

  • @bobmartin9518
    @bobmartin9518 Před 4 měsíci +2

    Glad all worked for you. Absolute must that you have a clear path to get away when the tree falls and you know which direction it will fall. I had a friend got caught and I didn't end well. Be always aware and be safe. Keep the saws sharp or it can be dangerous.
