Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you tree folk out there plugging away and helping to make the world go around. Just an iphone video here. Go pro videos to come. Hope everyone is doing well.
My good friend Ralph has been a great resource to me over the years. The first year my wife and I started our company we contracted a small woodlot to cut and we hired he and his skidder to help with the project. We have used Ralph and his skidder several times in the last ten years, but six...
