Tractors and wood! Show your pics

HE did say 10 minutes of TRACTOR time, not 10 minutes total time. Plus, it was only one trip, since he loaded the full half cord in his trailer. I can easily believe 10 minutes of tractor time, if it's not a long drive from the tree back home.

IT sounds like the same way I do it, though I wouldn't make it in 10 minutes of Tractor Time if I had to winch the trees out of the forest to the side of the trail - I'm not all that fast at winching, since I'm often setting a self releasing snatch block or two to winch around corners.

I agree he said "it takes 10 min tractor TIME TO GET OUT a half cord". No need to call bs on our friend up north.

thanks for clarifying this for me John. It was about an 1800 foot haul on good road and I only winched 2 trees about 100 feet to get the tree closer to the trailer. And yes you read it right, I did it in one load because I used the trailer. If I had to snig the logs I would of had to make 2 trips thus would of taken twice as the tractor time. Sorry if I misled anyone but man some people are quick to jump on a fellow.

Like I said I would get a slower tractor and enjoy it more. I never spend just ten minutes on the tractor.

Okay friends... my 'kinda want to call BS' comment was in jest. For you serious folk, in this PC world, I apologize. Jeez... obviously the man is out working hard harvesting wood to heat the homestead.

Com'n Creamer... give him a break. We gotta talk literally here and no jokes. Remove the cup holder and other extraneous items and get a higher acceleration and top end.

Loaded and unloaded without the tractor...



Found it a lot easier this last year to just load logs, and cut rounds and split back up on the property.

Most of the time when I use my trailer I load 8 foot logs with my crane then take it to our field to process because we have a strong east wind of the harbour so it is cooler to work and less flies.

... not to mention the view. That would motivate me to spend a lot of time in that spot.

Thanks ...Yes it is a beautiful. About 10 times a day people stop to take pictures. We own to the beach and I spend some time there as well. Our house overlooks the field. Everyday I wake up to that view and everyday I am thankful for it.
