Yes and I could use a 1 ton 4x4 beater just for around the house, I'd turn it into a woods truck dirt truck so wouldn't have worry OH NO I put a dent in the door.

There was a 3/4 or 1 ton (I forget which) Ford 7.3L steel bed Dump 4x4 for sale locally but the guy wanted the federal deficit for it. I could not afford that. But I drooled over it.

It doesn't split along the annular rings so semi-circle pieces fall out ???

I have never seen douglas fir do that. Of course DF is not a real "fir" tree. What you have in the east is likely a completely diff genus.

Got some firewood split - almost a cord but not quite in a couple days. Goal is to do a little every day and be done by end of April or so.
All dried up out back in the sun.

I have two small loads of logs to go to the yard tomorrow morning while the road is still stiff from tonight's frost. I loaded the one this afternoon ready to go first thing. And the second is on the little landing which is starting to thaw and get soft.

With that firewood stacked on the ground, don't you lose some due to rot? I've always stacked mine up off the ground.

It only stays there thru July then goes in the wood shed as semi-dry. Doesn't have time to turn from green to rot really. It is in a good dry spot and I lay all the loose bark on the ground under it. Just throw it there in a stack off the back off the splitter as I go. Split a bucket full of blocks and move the splitter ahead a little. More work than the tote method maybe but it works for me. If I could get a tote right next to the stove that would be different.

I do believe your method allows the wood to dry faster than stacked in a tote. Your stack looks to be single file, where in the tote, there are usually 2 layers which makes the inside hold moisture more. Plus with the totes, most guys tend to either tarp or cut the plastic tub for the top, that may hinder the drying a little. I have the advantage of being able to put the tote right outside the door next to the stove.

I'm getting this trailer ready to go cut a load of wood, first fill the two tires that have sloooooooooow leaks in them,

Does this trailer look like it needs some new deck boards?? lol

Good thing I had some 16' PT lumber around,

I'm going to look around for some short lumber, before I cut a 16 footer to fill the last two holes!
