Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning, Locos! 60 degrees and sunny again today. I spent most of the day with two other guys harvesting over sized Christmas trees, four of them to be exact. They were down a fairly steep hill so we had to get creative in getting them out of there. So one of the guys staged his pickup directly uphill from the trees where we cut them down. Then we ran some 1 1/2" double braid nylon rope from the tree up and around the ball of the hitch on the other guy’s pickup in a 90 degree turn to my pickup where I attached it to a shackle mounted in my trailer hitch receiver. I put my truck into 4 wheel drive and pulled until the trees were up on the road. But then we had had to load them onto the flat bed trailer manually.
