Very glad I didn't buy a smaller tractor.

That's a massive tree !
How many face cords do you expect to get out of it ?
I guess around 5 easily.

its the biggest tree I've ever cut up that wasn't hollow. There would have been an impressive amount of lumber here had the tree guys not sectioned it up into 5.5-6 ft sections. The 3 pieces would have made 16 ft log will smallest diameter of 42"

I spent about 2 hours last night bucking the smaller stuff 28" and smaller. I easily cut and moved 2/3 of a full cord. Ran a full tank through the MS660 and a little over half on my MS361
I would guess that I have between 2 and 2.5 cords in limbs and would estimate just over 1 cord in the trunk.
All totaled up 8-9 face cords is a safe bet

Impressive ! Almost a winters worth in a single tree !
I usually go through 10 face cord per winter + my central propane furnace here in eastern Ontario.
Hard to say just by the bark...but what kind of wood is that ?

Red oak I'm going to count the rings to see how old it was

Very good btu heating value.
Not much of those here...more sugar maple and beech.
I planted some red and white oak seedlings in my woodlot...my grand kids might see them standing big and tall some day lol !

Picked up some wood from about 1/4 mile down the road. Enjoying the pleasant winter here in Michigan. Very glad I didn't buy a smaller tractor.

I'm going to have to rip these big pieces down before I can split them.
I asked the wife If I could buy an MS880 with 60" bar she denied my request.

I don't want to push my luck this year. I have a great wife. I'm about to pay off my tractor and I think she's going to let me get a new ZD326 or a ZD1211-60 this spring. She went with me to the dealer last Friday. I really want to get rid of my Turd Cadet zero turn
