Tree Trimming Farmer Style

Its the time of year to trim trees.  In our case we need to trim our fruit trees.  Hydro doesn't like it when our trees grow up into the power lines so we have to keep them trimmed back.  If we don't, Hydro shows up and does it for us - not always a good thing cause I am sure they will send us a bill for doing it.



To get up high Karl gets into the bucket and the driver lifts him to where he needs to be.  In this case its Gary driving. You really need to be able to trust your driver in this situation for many reasons.


After the fruit trees were done the tree house tree needed to be trimmed.  This time Gary is in the tree using the lifter (this tree is much higher than the fruit trees - hence the lifter cause it will reach and its safer).


Poor tree house... it doesn't get much use anymore, if any.  Its showing its age too.  Karl and Jeff built it when Jeff was 4 years old.


Now its time to pick up all the trimmings.... Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffffffff!  lol 
It wasn't difficult, the branches were piled neatly and he just needed to get the tractor with the spears, pick them up and drop them on the burn pile... it will be burned once permits are issued.
