Also, speaking from my experience (bad luck...!) tree limbs like to catch on hydraulic hoses.....your 555 backhoe arm seems to have some rather lengthy and unruly hoses.....maybe a good idea to tie those off, so that they don't get caught on something.....I do appreciate that you wanted to get working after all of the time and effort that you have put into that thing....! (Great work getting it working again, by the way! Love watching your progress....and know that you have more work to do on the machine) Keep up the great work....!

glad you called out the name of the tree of heaven. I have those here in western Pa. but I had forgotten the name of it. every once in a while one will fall over. They get fairly big and provide ALOT of firewood. not great firewood though. for as heavy as they are green, they are deceiving. They dry very light. great to start a fire with but I would feel guilty selling a load of it at the same price I charge for hardwoods.

@@CaptainKleeman It is a quicker burn like pine but doesn't pop or crackle or throw sparks like pine does. it is more like a softwood. not heavy after it dries and not a slow burn like a cherry or oak. I will burn it just because it is still heat and I had it available. If I am starting a fire I will pick pieces of it to start my fire because it catches on fire easier... quicker burn.
