Today's tool of the day isn't in Brian's personal collection but he wanted to give you some information on it anyway. This is a tree chipper and you should only use it if you are a trained professional. Even someone with a vast knowledge of tools (like Brian), acknowledges that he wouldn't even think of trying to operate this bad boy tool since he hasn't been properly trained to use it. In fact, this tool is so powerful that Brian was standing a safe distance away from it while this picture was being taken.
The tree in the front yard of our new house is dying so the Village Public Works Department came over to cut it down today. We missed the initial prep work they did but we got here just in time to see the main event! After the Arborist (aka: the tree guy) had put a big rope around it and cut a large wedge out of the bottom, he gave the word for the tractor to back up and.......
......TIMBER!!!!! Down it came! It was amazing watching how quickly the tree chipper could mulch up what started out to be a huge tree!
