Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Done, 24 trips, 3 trips/cord=10 metric cord. This mud is taken all the fun out of firewood cutting, boots pants and gloves all muddy, tractor, choker chains and trees all muddy, only thing that doesn't get muddy is the chainsaw, least I beat the bugs.

OP, you guys have a lot less snow than we have 150 miles north. There's still a couple feet in my field, even more in the woods.

Very nice pile! I agree with you on the mud - I hate it. I'll wait til it dries to skid I hate it that much.

I was also trying to figure out his math. I was thinking a metric cord may have something to do with it.

Apparently Canada is trying to get rid of the cord as a measurement of firewood since so many people get confused/scammed by it.

I sold a bunch of truck loads of firewood. That add got way more attention than the one selling a given amount. I guess it was perceived as a better deal. I’ve only had one person say the load was short and I credited them the amount they claimed it was short.

Measuring wood can be tough, as every time that you make it smaller it can be stacked tighter, hence into less space. After you take out the air space hardwood should have 85 cubic feet of actual wood; whereas softwood will have 96 cubic feet.

What do you mean "taking out the air space"? I always thought a cord was 128 cu ft of stacked firewood. I always liked the barkless because that meant a lot more BTU per cord.

I usually just use my truck bed to measure volume. Stacking wood on the ground to measure and then loading it adds a lot of work.
