Pushed over my first tree today. We've got a backhoe on site for the week, mostly to fix the driveway and do other grading work on the property.
But, this morning I went out and dug around the trunk to bust up the roots. Took a couple tries of pushing with the equipement, then digging out some more around it, but it finally went over. Probably a 40' tall Alder that was really 2 trees that had grown together, and then one had Y'd off with a another big trunk.
Should get at least 2-3 cords between that Alder and a few smallish Birch trees I'd cut down the day before.
