Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Thunder chicken]

I don't know how in the world you can get a half cord in one of those totes, I have some and my biggest complaints are, getting the wood back out for use, and they just don't hold enough firewood.

There's no way I could get half a cord in one.

I'd have to agree. At least with the ones i get, a 1/3 of a cord would be generous. if it's loose and not stacked, 1/4 at best. shooterdon, I'd like to see a pic of your bin! on another site a fellow cuts the plastic in 1/2 on a diagonal, gets 2 roofs per tank!

I somehow found 10 cord of softwood to buy. (spruce/jack pine). 1/2 of the firewood burnt up here is softwood as Birch is the only hardwood here. Take what we can get. Everything goes to the chipper for paper.....
Not an efficient way to haul it, but again, only one guy has a self loader truck up here, this is due to the hauling distances. Luckily it's only a mile of pavement and a few miles of bush road to get this out.

To actually answer your question, rather than debate the merits of actually doing it:

When making a new post, click the "Go Advanced" button in the lower right corner of the new post box.

Add your picture as you normally would.

You should see a tag added which is the code to add your picture similar to this:
(ATTACH=CONFIG)660560(/ATTACH)
Normally, this would be in square brackets, rather than parentheses. I changed it here so you could see the tag, rather than the picture when I posted this.

Click the little box in the upper left corner of the post formatting bar that has the little A/A in it. This box will toggle between a text mode, which displays the code for the link and "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" mode. (That box is also there when you are not in "Advanced" mode, but it doesn't seem to do anything).

When in WYSIWYG mode, you'll see the thumbnail of your picture. Double click that thumbnail to bring up a dialog box where you can choose the size. I use "Medium" a fair amount, since it doesn't clutter up the thread with huge pictures, but still shows some detail that is hard to see in a thumbnail.

NOTE: when using this feature, please be considerate of those of us with slower internet connections. There is generally no need to upload a multi-megabyte photo for online viewing. Downsize your picture before uploading using any one of many available photo editing apps (I use Apple's "Preview" which comes free on their computers). Generally, a file size of a few hundred K is PLENTY. Often 100K or less will do the trick, if you don't need fine detail. You will still have the option to choose a display size for your photos when posting using the above technique.

Thank you for posting that. I've been beating the drum about picture size for some time now, but didn't intend to stymie a legitimate response to his question.

I that destined for the sawmill or the wood pile? I wish I had some trees like that!

If you'd stop making crooked cookies you'd have all kinds.

I have a 16' x 18' shed in the works for next year, this one should make one of fountain beams so I want to let set hoping this fall I'll be able to pull it out without breaking something, the leaves should suck some weight out. But this might be kicked down the two year road, wife is wanting a downstairs addition so I dont know should be dry by time I use it.

Just want to put in a short plug for anthracite. This past winter was my fourth season using it to heat this little two story house in Northern Maine... 20 lbs burns about 12 hours... longer burns mean better sleep. It's a steady heat too, much like central heating. On sale you can pick up a 40 lb bag at TS for as low as $5. It's much cleaner burning than wood. No tracking in messy logs and no worries about creosote fires. Coal ash is the bomb for taking care of icy patches on the driveway. You do need a CO2 detector though.

I promised some time ago that I would post some action shots of my Metavic Forwarding Trailer in action. I believe I did post a few still shots. Here's a link to a Youtube video of unloading the trailer.

Unloading the Metavic M95 Forwarding Trailer - YouTube

This load was for the son of a local friend who was laid off from his job during the COVID-19 virus restrictions and economic slowdown. He was looking for something to do to earn a little money. When a local person mentioned that they had free wood from some trees they had taken down last year, I offered to pick them up for the son to process into firewood. This video was taken by my friend, the boy's mother as I unloaded the last of the logs at their place. The son has already processed most of the previous loads.

NOTE: the video is a compilation of of several shorter clips, so it's incomplete and skips in spots, but you get the idea.

About time you made some video of that trailer in action, those trailers are great to help keep logs clean.

Another beautiful day today, and I took some time to move some logs,

If I could get under them, then I picked them that way,

Then I was off to another job...
