Cool I'm going to have more grass to mow next year!

We had one of the three poplar trees cut down today. It was 15 feet from the house and 5 feet from the power lines. One guy climbed and two on the ground. The guy in the tree did 95% of the work. He really knew what he was doing. The only thing scratched was the ground!

Here's a few pics and a video of him topping it. Notice the shove as it falls. I think that kept the power on!

Now that is talent and balls rolled up in a package with a chainsaw. Nice.

Great video, that's why people call professionals. I love watching amateurs at it with ropes tied to truck bumpers etc, always entertaining.

Its funny you say that. They actually did have it tied to a truck bumper! They had a pulley on a big tree down in the woods. I'd say they only cleared the power line by less than a foot.

After looking for the Deere key Dad hid from me for 3 hours, I started some cleanup. I wish I had a claw bucket!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
