I'm a basement burner to, but my floor is cement, out of 7 cord when the wood is gone, there's a 5' tractor bucket full of debris to take out, but there would probably be a lot less debris if debris was spelt the way the it sounds, dabree.
How much does that log weigh?

I probably have that much too. But I burn alot of it. The bigger pieces are used when starting a fire. The other stuff....a handful here and there into the stove when fixing the fire, and by the end of heating season its all but gone

I'm currently working on splitting a couple of big white oaks that were cut last Feb. and laid there until about July when I started cutting rounds...(one of the trees was 30" +)...This wood just started losing the bark...it sure makes for a cleaner mess 
without the bark falling off after it is split and stacked for storage...
without the bark falling off after it is split and stacked for storage...When I'm splitting firewood like your white oak, I'm always thinking that it would be nice if I had wood tumbler to bang the the wood around before I load it in my wagon, then when it's brought in to my cellar, in theory, the wood would be cleaner and cleaner wood means less cleaning in the basement, in theory.

Yes, I do. I started burning wood in my wood stove in the mid-80's in WA state just before they started regulating wood burning. Why? Because of all the people that thought that cutting and burning wood in the same year was a good idea. Of course, having read "Wood Heat" and other good books, I knew better. If you can season wood in West WA, you can season wood anywhere!
Here's a couple links for your edification: Wood Stoves, Fireplaces, Pellet Stoves, and Masonry Heaters https://chimneysweeponline.com/fswood.htm

I try to dry my wood for at least 6-8 months, run my Tier 3 wood stove on the hot side and have never cleaned my chimney in 10 years... well, except when I set it on fire, that cleans it out real good!
I haul decent size pieces of wood now and then as well... 9 foot x 40" piece of ash.

Are you sure about that? Log weight calculator says that log weighs 4800 pounds which is nearly double your loader rated capacity. Something doesn't add up.

methinks with forks...getting around the actual "lift" capacity can be overcome by using the forks and the dump/curl cylinders...the front tires are a little taxed...and I would NOT want to take that log down any slippery grades...
in the same respect I can use my hydraulic top link and lift loads that the 3ph can't at the end of a boom pole...
[edit]
Re-looking...it's not forks but it does not look like a regular bucket either??...

WELL, "methinks" it would have to be a miracle for that to be true, to give it THAT much extra lift!
