    Hey Chris, I’m looking at all of your wonderful equipment that you’ve worked so hard for and remembering when you use to use a lot of Uncle John’s. Really happy for your well-deserved success! Enjoying this new clearing job and it’s looking great.

    I would be a nervous wreck. I could just see it smashing a building. You always seem calm about it,no stress at all. You and Cottontop3 never seem worried about that tree against the house and a power line on the other side. I tip my hat to your skill.

    When I was in the business years ago I got tired of having to haul all the sweetgum to the landfill and burn it. Got to searching online for woodyards out of state and called up a few. Found out there was some pretty good demand for it. One guy offered to send a truck if I had a full load of nice saw logs...said he could pay about 3k. Something to look into ? Money coming in is better than expense of burning and hauling.

    Do gum trees normally have a darker center or are these trees about at the end of their lives? Amazing progress.

    • @chosen1one930
      @chosen1one930 Місяць тому +5

      There are several types of gum trees, this is just sweetgum I believe. I don't know if it's american sweetgum or just sweetgum by the name. They have been crossbreeding gum trees from all around the world for better paper supply, fast growing and so on. The dark center grain is typical, doubtful this has to do with age.

    This is what I did to my stumper. I took the torch and made a knife edge on the front side and it made a hell of a difference cutting through the roots and put a thick piece of angle iron on the tooth that way if you do have to lift up it will cut it. You won’t regret doing it I promise you. That’s my two cents for the day.

Do all the logs fetch the same price or are some species more valuable than others, like pine verses oak for instance? On some jobs he sends several truckloads off.
