Here is what I do it works great for me, The crates are a half cord. This all that the L45 wants to lift though, glad they are not any heavier.

That is an offal nice dump truck to be using for fire wood. The one we use has been patched together so many tines we aren't even sure what color it started out as! :confused:

Nice load on the Gehl. Is that close to a cord? If I built a portable wood shed like that the county would tax me on it:laughing:


No it's movable and not stationary. Or at least that is the way it is here. I just have to keep the wife away from this site, or she is going to want here own little wood houses too! :(

Yeah, I noticed that sweet little bobtail too. I've been looking for one off & on for a couple years; now I have both wood processing and bobtail envy. :mad: ;)

Here's how we bring firewood to the porch now that we have a tractor. It sure beats the old wheel-barrow method!

My method of getting it down to the basement where the wood furnace is has just gotten easier:

First, I got a new tractor. LS U5030.

Then, after I got a set of pallet forks from Titan, I built a carrier out of a good pallet. I narrowed it down to 30" because my bulkhead stairs are 36" wide. Even narrowed down, 2 rows deep, it's about as much as I could fit in the bucket.

Drive her over to the bulkhead and dump her down. I chained the pallet to the fork frame so I don't lose the whole thing.

I hinged a piece of plywood on the stairs so I can fold it up and use them like regular stairs when I'm done.

Now to find an auto-stacker.

Yup, just about a cord. I wish I had a few more of them with a roof. That pallet is the pallet that my boiler was delivered on, and where all that wood go's to turn into heat! I thought that was a "fitting" use for that pallet. I'm hoping that the warm comes soon!

Could you get a pallet jack and put a pallet on it and just catch the wood?
