Photos of Tree Line on the Old Ranch

This is James IV preparing to haul away some branches from the "Tree Line" which were brought down by a thunderstorm.
In Howard County, trees grew along the unplowed property lines of old farms. This "Tree Line" is also know as a "Fence Row", for obvious reasons.
The black cart being towed behind the tractor is equipped with a 4 hp vacuum motor.
This motor has a hose that can be attached to the tractor's mower deck. The tracor is then driven over any piles of mowed grass ("windrow"); the cut grass is picked-up by the deck and blown into the cart. So... if y'all ever call, and Mrs JimJr sez I'm out vacuuming the lawn -- she's NOT kidding.

This is a photo of me on a lift platform preparing to trim a tree.
The man on the ground, shouting-up encouragement and operating the fork lift is Ray, a friend and neighbor.
