This job was an old old Maple stump that was part of the original
farm West of Highway 52 and North of 2nd St. The owner grew up on the
farm and remembers the trees from his childhood. Taking them down was an
emotional moment but the results made it more than worthwhile. The tree
was creating a crowded condition that prevented other trees and plants
from growing properly. It also limited the amount of light in front yard
and in the house.
The bucket truck was used to take down the tree and the
MultiTrac to load the brush and wood. The stump was much bigger than we would normally do
now with the MultiTrac as it took about 4 hours to grind.
The daughter of the customer was there with one of her day
care children. He sat on the front steps to watch us. We gave
him a radio helmet and he told us every time a limb fell into
the road, directed and asked us questions. We did get a break
when he had to go potty ! |
