Okay guys......where did you get the idea this was "clear cut"?
This woodlot hadn't been logged in over 50 years and many of the oaks were past there prime. Many were 3-1/2' or more in diameter.
The logger left many trees for future harvest and also left some that were big enough because they were producing a large quantity of acorns.
He was careful in falling those big oaks which took a little extra effort because of their size. He did not leave a lot of damage liked I've seen some other loggers do.
The owner asked him to leave the tops because he expects to feed his outside boiler with the wood for quite a few years to come.
Oak tops can remain in the woods for years with little rot because the limbs keep the main log up off the ground.
Rarely has any clear cutting been done in this part of NY State since the settlers cleared the land for farming.
The exception being that N.Y. Encon has clear cut some of their wood lots here in the past few years, they say, in an effort to "regenerate the forest with healthier trees".

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
