If you are trying to save money id definitely find out the price different with just getting it down vs haulin it off. It should be a good bit.

Whether or not its worth it idk. They don't look big till they hit the ground and you realize you've created two days of chainsawing and toting for yourself

Downshift, Cuanto? (That is Spanish for how much?)

I will take some off your hands.

I have not smoked with pecan yet, but would like to give it a try.

And the tree at my rental house has not fallen down yet, so I don't have any free.

Which is why you have to have a workers compensation policy.

I can only imagine. But if knocks off a good portion of the price, I'll have to do it.

Cut short and split small probably two and a half or three truck loads. It's pretty big.

I guess it depends on how hard it is to get a trailer and equipment to it. If they're going to have to load it by hand, don't expect anything lower than $4500 :

I have had a whopper water oak laying in my backyard for 18 months now. It was hanging over the neighbor's barn and I had to hire a guy to cut it. He limbed it out and fell the trunk bock on my place for $750 (he was sort of a drunk) and I've been cutting on it whenever I needed wood since then. I'm down to a 30' section of trunk and I think I'm gonna burn the whole thing where it's laying for Memorial Day. I reckon I can line up about 40 children along the sides roasting weenies at the same time.

Not sure, but that's because you can't swing a dead cat here without hitting a pecan. They shed a lot too, so it's found errywhere. Mung's daughters' Mow Mow has about eleventy billion trees on her place. We just run out there and cut if we have to.

Let me know if you need any help. I can provide cold beverages while we watch others cut it down.
