Same thing goes on here, kinda goes with this kind of landscape, where fields are surrounded by trees or hedge rows. Does not seem that all the remaining farmers do this kind of work so much, yet it does encroach enough to make it worth doing.
Dec'08 ice storm made a real mess here, all crop land considered, the farmer I've helped on/off over the last few years, had a real job on his hands, owned land, rented and the like, 500 acres or so. I brought my saw, all other things related, + my old '64 F-600, and stayed ahead of him on his 3150 JD using it's loader, saw etc. some were easy, some not. There were tops caught in trees, mind you, in one area, the ensuing mess from above fell and I literally had to cut my way out of the tractor with the saw, nothing real heavy, just an odd arrangement of limbs, meanwhile he's on my tail with that mold board, disc behind him, boy did I earn my pay.

I did get a few truckloads of black cherry, maple, oak, and some box elder, out of it, just had to work like heck, clearing perimeters of this was harsh work, much prefer to do what you are doing, say with one of those limbers that Asplundh or similar has ! LOL PS, the additional acreage certainly was shown on the spray rig computer when I rode with him, he really appreciated getting this done and no delay to planting.
