Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Jstpssng]

Usually I can get more force when I double back the come along line. If the wheel was flat on the ground sounds like spindle malfunction not a broken gear issue. Also it looks like the long frames are bent to? You might need to get a 4 wheel front end aliment after it's fix and dont forget to post a fixed picture. So can your wife also cut with the torch, weld and cook super to...........

How do you think that he finds so much time to do wood?

Yeaaa, double line, doubles the pulling strength, but I didn't need it, as I wanted the heat to work...

The spindles fine, what it attaches to, isn't. I'll reinforce it before I call it done.

As for the "reaches" they have been bent a couple times, I'm going to shorten them up this time, it will make it easier to carry 8' 6" logs. I have other running gear for longer logs...

My wife likes working outside, but she still has a REAL job, so she don't always have time to do so, but I'm hoping to work on it tomorrow some, it should be another nice day.

It was sunny 73* here today...

Don't tell anyone, but I do 90% of the cooking around here... BUT, she does the dishes ect…

Seems like a good trade to me, as I like to do the cooking.

BTW, she LOVES to run the splitter too!!

Sunny 67* here today, we gained another notch on the running gear, as I now have one side straightened, shortened and where I want it...

It may be a while until I get back to it now though...

That's the beech I remember, havent seen beech that good in 40 years here. What's the lumber like, did all twist up, cup, twist, split easy when hit, nail hard, is it lighter then oak, in short will beech make a good firewood box to throw wood in that you so desperately need to replace?

There's still some around. We try to get the guys to leave them in hopes that they are resistant and will propagate more of the same.
These are up in the Haynesville Woods and only about 100 feet apart. Without really looking I came across a couple of dozen like these, scattered among the pockmarked beech which we are accustomed to. Even the good logs aren't worth much though; the only things they seem to get used for is pallets and skidder bridges.

Note the bear claw marks in the first tree, and the gnarly beech in the background of the second. These aren't the best pictures in the world, as the only camera I had with me was the one on my GPS.

I never used a 4 wheel trailer, do those front wheels steer them self's as it's pulled? I was visualizing steering arms of some sort. And in the other post you like burning popple firewood or is good fire hard to come by? I always just take the log and leave the rest for fertilizer.

From where I sit they look like sugar maples to me and so far I never seen a bear around my area. They say when it's winter up in Maine better check it over twice................. Dick Curless / Tombstone Every Mile - YouTube

If you go look at post #8025 and look hard enough, you will see the steering arms that move with the tongue, to "steer" the front wheels when turning...

As for the popple, IF it's in the way, or I need the log out of one, I burn what ever else the tree's easily produces for firewood. When I throw it in the stove, the stove doesn't complain, and the popple makes heat! I just have to feed it a bit more, but that's not a problem for me, especially when it's not too cold out side.

Obviously I'm NOT a "firewood snob"... lol
