I had plenty of people over the years willing to let me pay them to haul it the fugg away.
Knowing they would sell it.

Offered some Cut it down and its yours.

Nope they all wanna make money on both sides.

Fughing sawed it up and brought it all to slumlord for his big ole outdoor stove to burn

Back yard originally had 16 fugging trees in it when I bought the home in 2006

Down to 4 now which I can live with

Previous owners were morons.

Chinese persimmons
Huge hackberry tree growing right next to the drive way with big ole limbs going over the drive way.
Couple of shallow spread out root water maples.
All this schit growing around the perimeter of a in ground pool
Morons....
No wonder it went too schitt and the thing cracked all over the place.

That is what that big ole plateau is in the back yard.
A demolished and buried in pool as a result of roots ruining it.

The mills dont buy yard trees.... replacing one of their bands is way more than the veneer is worth. They dont really buy too many wild ones anymore either, and certainly dont pay what people think they are worth.

The bottom of the trunk was grained really well.
I had 3 sections each about 14 15 foot long
Bottom was very similar in size to the one in your pic.

Don't get me started.

Dude I had like 350 ft of chain link fence vine wall.
I spent 2 springs and summers making it look like chain link fence again.
You think any of the co adjoining neighbors lifted one finger to help
Fugg no....
Fugging pulling and hand snippering woody vine brush sucked...

I had a 10 ft band of 12ft tall brush growing around the slope of that buried pool, slope from top to bottom is 12 ft tall in places. Literally 45 to 60 degree angled.
What a Pita that was. Cutting it down
Hauling it off
Killing off all them roots system.

Its all grass now.
Sucks to mow it , but at least it aint brush.
Gravity Push mower up the bottom half.
Gravity push mower down the upper half.
Looks good when cut.
Sometimes I just poison the slope and say fugg it.
It grows back after 2 or 3 months anyways.
Those kill for 6 8 12 month claims are bullschitt.

Previous owner never did anything but the easy mowing and didnt use brush killer on the fence line ever .
Just let schit grow.....

I gotta mow the back yard this weekend
Wife/ khan dropped the A bomb on me last night about it .
Fugg.......

So, I see the resident expert on every fuqking thing has stopped by to give us his wisdom on the lumber bidness. Sumbitch won't even tell anybody where he lives either, probably lives in the desert and runs his logging company there. 😁

Cut 2 60', 3'+ diameter....one Locust and a Black walnut that my buddies tree company dropped for me last week into firewood sized pieces the past 2 afternoons. Used a Stihl 261cm with an 18" bar and 462cm with a 28. Other then swapping and sharpening chains and adding fuel and oil had no issues. These Stihl bashers on here need to try the pro level saws before the run their pie holes! HUGE difference from the homeowner and farm/ranch saws!
