I have a tree slowly falling on my shed. Wind and rain did a number on it. Not looking forward to cutting it down.

Couple years ago I decided I wanted to grow something I could eat instead of trees that dropped so many dead branches the lawn mower sounded like a wood chipper.

This ain't even all of it.

Told the grandkid to stop flushing critters outta the woodpile, might find one he wasn't prepared to deal with. He didn't listen...

Still got one substantial pile left, buncha logs, and 5 or 6 more trees to take down. I'm feeling tired just thinking about it.

Highly recommend this one, don't even have to push on it, just press the button and it sinks through 4 inches of concrete real quick. Heavy, though. Takes some muscle to lift it up and put it in place. If a 68 year old man that doesn't exercise could do it, strong young fella like yourself wouldn't have a problem with it. Think it was $50 to rent for some amount of hours; I tried a sledge hammer and punch first , and that was an exercise in futility!

Good to know, I 've got a feeling it will still be a struggle for this young pup if you say it's heavy.
