[QUOTE="ga. prime, post: 712992, member: 588"] :D Very true. Those were worse than loblolly- they were sand or virginia pine. That field was leased for growing trees to Brunswick Pacific(subsequently bought out by Plum Creek)back in 1980 by my Dad and clear cut a couple of years ago when the lease ran out. My Dad always said they were sand pines but the Plum Creek guy said Virginia. I think my Dad was right . Either way, I don't want any more of em. The limbs grow down to the ground so mowing them doesn't work- you can't get the mower blades low enough to get all the limbs...not to mention the fit all those stumps would give the mower... Weed eater did the job on them- that's the third blade there at the end and I only broke one drive cable. Soon as those dry down a bit I'll fire up the place and go back in with longleaf. I suppose it was a bit dangerous- I started out with a sling on it but took it off after about 30 seconds- I figured out quick that you do not want to be tied to the weedeater if you trip and start to fall. Most exciting thing was when I cut down one tree and there was a 3 ft diamondback under it. :D [/QUOTE]
