Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Sawyer Rob, looks like you can't get much more efficient than that! It's nice to have all that equipment at your disposal.

Once I skid my firewood logs out,

I lift them over my wagon with my loader and they are chain sawn into firewood length,

With that done, it's easy to roll the blocks right onto my splitters beam, and push them through the 4-way wedge,

And the splits can go right into these boxes I build,

They hold 1/2 cord each, and I designed them to allow air to move all around the splits, so the splits will dry down to 20% or less, as that's the way to get the most BTU's of energy (heat) out of firewood...

With the boxes full, I can easily move them for storage, or once the splits are dry, to my basement window with my tractor, to be thrown down for burning,

Is that a timber wolf splitter? I have the TW2 model.
Would like one like yours for the tractor

Didn't I see you making duck calls on TV last week.
That looks like an awesome tractor for working with wood, looks like it has big tires on front compared to most tractors I see. One of the many things I don't like with my L3400, it has big tires on the rear, 11.2-24, compared to the small tires on front 7-16, but I think I'm the only one who complains about small tires on front of a 4x4 tractor.

Definitely one advantage going up to a utility over compact is getting the 24" fronts. i agree most CUTs have disproportionately smaller front wheels.
The other advantage is loader capacity

That's a pretty sweet setup there, Sawyer Rob. Nuthin' better'n havin' the right tools for the job!

But ya gotta slow down a little. Yer makin' the rest of us look bad!

Thanks guys,

The splitter it's a TW3HD, I love the thing! Best part is, so does my wife... lol

The taller and wider front rubber is ANOTHER reason I chose this tractor over other brands... Another is the rubber all around, are premium radials! Any YES, it does make a difference in traction...

Thanks again,

SR

View attachment 410404View attachment 410404 talking wood ,,this is my wood shed 16 feet wide View attachment 410404 24 feet long with 10 foot walls took me 1/2 day to get the logs then 1/2 day to mill on a band saw then 1/2 day to put together and stand up then 1/2 day to sheet in,,,,sorry for 3 pic the same ,,not quite up to all this stuff lol

Nice, how are those railway ties holding up with the frost, do they move much?

I see your really saving steps by bucking over the wagon , then rolling to the splitter. No lifting. I'd like to expand on that idea.

I'm worn out just thinking about how much harder than that I work for a cord of wood
Very nice, efficient set up SR!
