Hi Guys,
I have a JD 3020 diesel tractor with about an 8 foot wide bucket. I also have a skidsteer with a bucket and a root grapple attachment.
I've been trying to figure out a good way to load firewood that is already split and sitting in a pile. Driving the tractor into the wood pile will result in some wood in the bucket but doesn't work very well.
The grapple on the bobcat tends to end up with one piece of firewood getting wedged and holding the teeth open and the other wood falls out of the grapple.
Using the skidsteer to push the wood into the tractor bucket seems to work the best.
Just wondering if anyone has come up with an attachment or some kind of process (other than hand loading) that makes picking up split wood from a pile easier?
