If healthy, the trees would be worth far more than the home .

True, but some things don’t have a monetary value. Honestly I envy them. Living and working a ranch.

I'm throwing no stones, I promise. M and I rented and then bought our 5 acres with an ancient 35-foot mobile home on it and lived in that hovel happily for 9 years before we could afford to build a small house. It was a roof over our heads; cheap, and that was the only way we could have swung buying what has now been our home place for 46 years.

First one is actually a very nice photo.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Really gives you the scale of the task. Indeed.

 

[Burnham]

That is a whole lot of tree right there.

I would call that a 6/10 for size. Solid medium.

 

[Bodean]

Just saw one on a friends IG. 6 foot diameter..l this one was 3 foot.

 

[flushcut]

How far of a canopy spread on that 6’er?

 

[Bodean]

Didn’t measure but probably minimum 100’….

They are a super light wood, can barber chair, even peel out w kerf cuts…. Super heavy headed.
There is a push by Albizzia Project to use the wood for use…. They are huge and super invasive.

Monkey pod is a whole different tree.

 

[Bodean]

Stole this off his page….

Tried to forward it to u… shot in the dark..

 

[flushcut]

Are those like 3” growth rings?!

 

[Bodean]

Probably.

I was kinda impressed by my 4’ Euc today.

I think my largest is 6’ short wide canopy oak.

 

[Bodean]

Are those chaps? These days w so many factors I try to wear sawpants every time I cut.
My friend says PPE is a factor of being professional.

 

[Burnham]

Your friend is both smart and wise. I haven't even started a chainsaw to do a little carb adjustment or such without chaps or saw pants on in about 45 years. I'm that convinced that even the best of us can have a bad moment, and with a spinning saw chain a moment is all it takes to cause serious damage.

I will admit that seeing in person a couple of chainsaw cuts co-workers gave themselves in my early days as sawyer, was enough to scare me into this point of view. We have all seen close calls, I am sure. My USFS training clearly reinforced my actions in this.
