I have counted every piece of firewood I ever touched each time I touch it....loading, unloading, stacking, unstacking...I still can't remember how many are in a cord :ROFLMAO:

Humor, right?

Someone will be along shortly to tell you what s terrible person you are 😆 I'm going to get some popcorn in the meantime.

Not exactly sure how my logs get bucked to uniform length but a relative visiting at Christmas time exclaimed: "(Name of another relative known for being extremely a-n-a-l) would love your firewood stacks!". Not sure what that says about me 😉

Cleaned up a bunch of dead elm that I was starting to get tired o looking at this morning

A Google search didn't turn anything up on what I thought was a well known technique for cutting cable. The butt of the chisel must rest on something solid of course.

Not sure if I posted my arch here or not. Short hitched to move from place to place ~2100 #s of black walnut Moving up to the landing to be loaded

There are two good size mills within 100 miles. Like you, I found roadside pick-up of a few logs cost prohibitive. The volume the mills I sell to need (1/2 load if all walnut) before they can send a truck is quite a bit larger than I produce so delivery is my responsibility. Having more time...

Thanks. Picked up the major components, the cross piece & tires / wheels, at an auction and pieced it together from there. This past winter was pretty warm. Those wide tires with 1/2 ton, give or take, of log between them really smoothed out the ruts the tractor made on the trails. It...

A few chunks of walnut getting ready to go on the trailer Heading up the hill out to the road.

It's a hand winch (the only new bought part) mounted on a Frankenstein assembly ;) A 28" wide tractor front weight bracket (auction) serves as the cross piece. It's mounted to the tire/wheel units (same auction) by jeep grand cherokee front wheel bearings, axle stubs, & some custom made...

Moving some logs to an area where they can be loaded on the trailer.

I wasn't real keen on taking this 16~17" hollow center dead ash from the top of a steep 25~30' ridge yesterday. I needed it to fill an order and with snow forecast, which can make it a lot more work to get wood out of the ravine, it became top priority yesterday. Not sure which was more...

Zoomed in and can see the right side of the hinge is already cut. Changes how I would attack it a little bit. I'd get the chain wrapped around it first, then drive wedges in the area where the hinge is separated on the right. I'd then bore cut from the red line in the pic to the black line...

How about a pic with some verbiage? Every tree / leaner is different. Here's one method of dealing with the leaner (The line scribed around the tree is only through the bark to serve as a reference). Put in your face cut / under cut. make sure they match/meet. plunge in between the red...

Having to go deeper and deeper into the woods so I made up this narrow, long, and high (34" wide x 8' long bed with 48" high end walls) to bring 2/3 cord at a time out to the road. Only loaded it part way on it's maiden trip this morning because I wanted to be sure the tractor could handle the...

Stopped for lunch before heading up to the landing with load 3 of 4. It was nice down in the woods, windy & cold up on the landing.

Stopped to wash the tires, after all...a clean tractor with wood is a happy tractor ;)

Going from warehousing to production mode today.
