When I was still heating with wood (before my wood-fired boiler split a seam) most of my work in the woods was with one of my Jonsered Iron Horse units. They can go where no tractor can. Some of these logs were destined for my woodmizer sawmill rather than for firewoodWith heating season in full swing..... I was out gathering firewood today with my trusty mule. Pics of any tractor with logs split or not welcomemy mighty bx said , the oil man can kiss my #%^.

I could use this.
A tractor dealer here sold those, the parts guy said they came in one Monday, and there were tracks from four guys where they had picked one of those up over the weekend, carried it to their pu and stole it! lol
It's a good time to be cutting wood, around here at least. Prices are dropping yet still are at record highs; and many mills have such a dearth of wood stockpiled that we are concerned some might not make it. I would like to take some time off and cut a few loads of wood which is going by... the extra money would be nice. I sure picked the wrong time to
That thing is cool, never saw such a thing.
Yes, w pine is paying well and I negotiated straight through pricing so I get more for some of the lower grade logs.It's a good time to be cutting wood, around here at least.

They were imported and sold by Jonsered, made by Lennartsfors in Sweden. I bought my first one from a Jonsered dealer locally. It had both a log bunk and a bed with sides and tailgate. It seemed that it never failed to have the "wrong" configuration when I had something I wanted to use it for, and I bought a second one, used, that also had the power winch. As I recall I paid about as much for the second, used, unit as I did for the original new unit, about $8,000. I've never regretted either purchase, and still used them frequently. Jonsered was taken over by Husqvarna, and unfortunately Husqvarna dropped the product from their line and does not stock any parts for them. Fortunately my local Jonsered dealer knows of one or two dealers that still have a stock of some parts for them. They're great little machines. Both of mine have the 5.l5 HP Honda engines, and I've never found them to be lacking power. They were offered with, I believe, 8 hp Honda engines, although I can't see what advantage the extra power would provide.
