bringing tree's down is no doubt a major task around the homestead huh.  Its the one thing I did not do too much of before buying this piece of land.  SInce then I've cleared ALLMOST every tree with the exceptations of a few big ones that the excavator pushed over (big boy excavator) when clearing lot.  Gravel saw a few that are on my list.

Not such a big deal when there is nothing to break around the tree..but gets tricky/expensive if there is.  I kind of wish I would have cleared more behind the house before house was here. 

There is a reason most people build there house in a field lol.  Nice job dropping it...i'd like to find some alternative to the steal cable .. I like heavy duty ropes.

There are some trees that I would not consider cutting down on my own.  When we had our site work done they pushed over the 60+ footers with a 40 ton excavator...like it was no big deal. 

Gotta respect the chainsaw and the tree that can crush you to death.
