 Had a huge ash tree at my place that needed some trimming. It was over 4 ft at the base and been struck by lightning 3 time in my lifetime that I know of. The dead limb was leaning towards my building and decided to take those out before it might hit them.
|  Dad and I went together and bought this lift used at the peak of the recession. Got a great deal on from a dealer. It is a diesel 4x4 and has 60 ft of reach. Fully extended here so you can get a scale on how big this tree was.
|  Dad had a classmate who fell off a roof and ended up dying from his injuries. We decided it was time as with all the buildings and upkeep it was worth it to be safe. We paint our own places too so that was another factor.

 |  Sure makes work like this nice. It has an 8 ft basket.
|  |  Our main wood storage barn got hit with wind damage for the second time. !st time it blew the whole roof structure off, rafters and all. Put it all back and several years later it did this. Insurance totalled it out. We'll try to rebuild but I have my doubts.

 Broke a lot of posts. has 78 cord in it and we'll have to get a lot out before the work starts. Slow process for sure.
|  Pretty nasty wind.

 Another barn that we have some wood in.
|  Dads homemade splitter here. Not anything to look at but it does a decent job. 4x 24 cylinder with 16GPM pump. Strong for what it is.
|  |  Furnace house stuffed full.
|
 |  These next pics are in the woods at Dads other farm. The same wind that took the barn out had straight line winds in the woods. Took most everything in it's path. Gonna clean it up.
