It has been a long process for me. After all the big wood was cleaned up came the cleanup of the small stuff. Small limbs and sticks, and a boatload of pine needles. I had to gather everything into separate piles and load into the FEL take it to where I dump yard waste. WOW! I have quite the pile now. But it's done and today the FEL came off and I was finally able to mow the lawn. That BX is a life saver for me.

I feel for you. I've had the same thing happen before. Actually, picking up all the small limbs and pine needles was more arduous than the larger stuff.

I know it must be a good feeling to have it done! Good job. (y)

I cannot realistically believe I will ever be completely done with cleanup for entire property, 61 acres

Same issues for me in the spring. Got myself a 72" 3 PT pine straw rake. What used to take two weekends to do now takes 10 mins. No kidding. Best 400.00 buck I ever spent.

WOW! that is a very large area you have to clean. What kind of downed trees are you talking about, pines or hardwood? You could do what orchards and berry farms do and post a sign saying, Free firewood, you cut and clean. At the price of firewood these days, you may be surprised at the response you get
