Tractors and wood! Show your pics

I've been doing all wrong, I sell a bucket load in the BX for 15 was 10 until a couple years ago. Delivered to camp site....

He used to sell a backhoe bucketload for 15, that was the old way. I'm all for giving people a deal, but that was plain robbery!

I just spent a day off helping my campground owner friend make bundled wood for the 4th.
Three of us processed a cord into bundles in about half an hour. At $7 a bundle, everyone wins. Campers get reasonably priced local wood at the campground, friend gets an extra income stream, and the local woods are managed responsibly.

The real sticking point is that when you see those bundles at $14 and up, the highest I've seen is $25!

Of course, finding your own is always cheaper if you burn a lot and bundles don't apply to most of those here. Compared to my friend's old system, this is a much better deal for him. While the bundler was expensive, after this season it should have paid for itself.

Would love to see how that is possible.

After speaking with my friend, I overestimated. Two IBC totes.

So I’ve put a few hours on my Woodland Mills WC46 wood chipper, overall it works well and is built great but a couple things annoy me. It’s helping clean up some brush right now though.

I had planned on bringing home a light load of ash logs, from my parents place Sunday, but 1/3 of a big three way split cherry fell down across their yard a few days prior. That, and the small dead ash behind it made a pretty good load, maybe 2-1/2 face cords total.


After I get that split up, I’ve only got about anther 2 face cord to go to wrap up my summer firewood season (the only one I get since global warming took my winter season away a few years ago).

That will make 18 face cord in my wood shed or (3) years worth at our average rate of consumption.

That's a pretty good load all right... about 4000 lbs.

What is the best implement to pick up splits from a pile of firewood?

I’d say an end loader bucket.

Mostly the infeed system and that I decided on the smallest model based on my tractors HP, I should have gone with the 6" model. The infeed gets stuck constantly, Im having to do a lot of trimming of branches to actually get them to feed properly. I may try to increase the spring tension on the infeed roller to see if that helps.
