Tractors and wood! Show your pics

You must be glad your not in the 60s and 70s, I ran a mid 70s McCulloch chainsaw back then for 15 minutes, it was practically brand new but my hands was tingling for 5 minutes afterwords, the guy wanted to sell it to me but I already had my first new Husqvarna, L65, so I said nah.

I think anti-vibe has come along way since then on all saws, maybe Husqvarna is the leader on that, either way it is very important and another reason why I like mechanical wood harvesting, I'm a big fan of make the machine do the work.

My Poulan is like that: with no vibration dampener I wouldn't want to run it very long. I only paid 100 bucks for it new though, and it's good enough for what I want it for; something to throw into the back of the truck in case there's a tree across the road. It get rained and snowed on, and if somebody steals it I'm not out the price of my good saw.

Then perhaps it's not to late, how is she with a paint brush those eve's need paint especially the underneath, when done post that picture.

Yeah, I'll side it before I stain it.. And if she's still home she'll help.... most likely!

I put the tape across the screen and from where I sit didn't look like two cord to me on that trailer, as in 20' x 4' x 4', was there med-western measuring going on...............

Well I'm betting that trailer is 8' wide so it only needs 20 x8x2.. looks like it to me.. no mainiac measuring needed.

We don't all measure wood the way that he does, by my calculations 4x4x20 would be 2 1/2 cords.

How much did you bet, I measured and only come up with 319 cu feet, I want a sec opinion, I heard that..............

The trailer is 20' long, and 84" wide, and there were a few bigger blocks, already rolled off and split, before that pict. was taken...

So that's the reason my exact measuring didn't add up, that throws the whole monkey in the wrench........

That's still 2 1/2 cords.

THEN there's the fact that my half cord boxes have been sitting it the sun for quite a while, so they may have shrunk a bit???

I wasn't impressed with California Storm solid Chestnut Brown stain.

Yes that could explain a lot with all that nice sunshiny weather you seem to be getting, that's why I always keep a wood stretcher on hand. I'm in a wet cold April but according to the latest weather it's only going to last 6 more days.
