Despite a couple of "no shows" this weekend we still managed to knock down the last three DANGEROUS trees. This time we had 4 people. No women or little children were involved. Two of the three trees didn't even get cut with a saw until they were on the ground. We just pulled them with the tractor. How did we get a rope in there? I am glad that you asked. Being the smart people that we are I used my fishing pole with a weight on the end of the line. I cast over the limb I wanted to and let the line drop to the ground. We then tied on a heavy string/rope. I reeled that line back over the limb, then we used that to pull up the big "bull rope." The bull rope can pull 7,800 lbs. With 250 ft of that the tractor was no where near harms way. Like I said we pulled down two of the trees like that. The last tree wasn't so rotten. We still put a rope in it to "guide" the path. So now we have no worries about trees falling on our houses.
Sorry no pictures from this one. I figured they would look just like the ones from last weekend.
