Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Here's one picking up "sticks" with the tractor and another of my daughter "helping" me process wood.

Split another load of wood yesterday. It was much easier loading it with the Kubota then unloading it by hand.

Moving some rounds around...real back saver that BX! :cool2:

I love seeing all the different ways and all the different equipment you all use to do essentially the same basic task. It is really amazing and the best part is that everyone gets the job done their own way.

I work up my firewood a couple hours at a time - as the opportunity arises and the mood strikes. It's not to efficient that way and I don't hurry but by the end of the hot weather there is enough wood for us and some to sell. Today was to hot to get involved in much so I split some wood while my spot was still shady this morning.

I was splitting and stacking wood today. My friend's kid comes over occasionally to help me out around the yard.



I like to stack on pallets to keep the wood off the ground. Each row is about 2/3 of a cord. I get two rows per row of pallets. 7 rows down many more to go.

Mike I see you are from Granby. Back in the late 60's I worked at Ham-Standard, lived in Enfield near Warehouse Point. There was a nice brook in Granby I liked to fish. Back then the whole area was pretty rural with all the tobacco farms but developing fast. I often wonder what it is like now.

It's been "developed". In some places over-developed, which is a shame. There's still some shade tobacco being grown for wrappers. But you might find it a little hard to recognize the place if you've been away since the 60's. The tinsel factory, at Warehouse Point, has really fallen in to disrepair. It's kind of hard to look at it and not think about all the jobs that used to be in there, behind all the broken windows & graffiti. I sure wish someone would at least turn it into apartments or something of use.

Sorry to here that about the tinsel factory. That was a classic old brick factory. Being right on the canal like it is I am surprised someone has not rehabbed it and the area surrounding it.

I grew up in East Hartford along the Glastonbury town line. The Glastonbury Meadows under the Putnam Bridge was my playground. Fishing, Hunting, and dirt bike riding. Now the area is closed off and the tobacco fields along the road to the meadows are all shopping malls.

We moved to Granby 7 years ago. Still feels rural to us. Trout fishing in Salmon Brook is always fun. We have 5.3 acres in a nice little corner of town. Quiet. I cannot hear my neighbors. At night the fireflies are awesome. We love it.

Besides, it is just big enough that I was able to justify the tractor and some toys to go with it.

Hauling some scrap slabs to the junk pile while moving some timbers up the road.

I just don't know what I would do without my grapple!
