Well after a lot of lookin and figuring and cutting the multaflora rose bushes, I got to cutting it down. The first pic shows a better look how the tree grew and the following slows how tall and how it was leaning that was on my mind while starting to cut it. I notched it (looking at the tree) to the right side about 2 feet up and 10 inches in. Now I hoped what would happen was it gose over slowly hits the big limb and roles over to the left. At least I hoped it would. As I started the back cut at an angle to the notch, About 1/3 of the way cut it started to pop! Time to beat feet and get out of the way! Pop Pop and it slowly starts going over, I mean slow! Right down on the big limb and slowly rolled over to the left without hardly making a sound. I was so glad it went over slowly and didn't kick back or come sideways at me like the one did yesterday. My chain saw has a 32 inch bar in it and just went through that big limb when I cut it off. Hard part over now its time to cut it up into pieces to move it with the loader so it can be cut up at a later date. I am sure glad have 2 saws to use the big one will ware you out in the sun. I think it took longer to pile the brush up than it did to cut it down and up. The stump and butt of the log aint pretty, But its all said and done now, And no broken bones or injuries! Not bad for 4 hours of work. Maybe I will cut a dead one tomorrow? Bandit

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
