Tractors and wood! Show your pics

That was a neat tour through town. A very different kind of place than I have seen before Thanks for posting.

Thank you.

In Europe, it's very common for the ancestors to own small pieces of land that they used to farm spread all over a small village, that are then inherited by the consequent generations. This is one of the big reasons why we tend to drive the tractors on the road so much around here.

We recently inherited a couple of pieces of land, so we're taking advantage of that and get firewood out of it.

I may have a longer drive in the future. That may make a cool video too.

Processing Firewood the Professional Redneck Way

This will be a long assembly post with many photos, you may want to bookmark it and read on a rainy day. You will need a root grapple to lift logs, A miter saw to cut multiple 4x4's and 2x8's to size, plus other wood working tools most home owners all ready have. Let's start...

Pushed over some trees and picked them up to move ithem out of the area

A short video of some crop and mast tree release I'm doing on the northwest corner of my property, including a clip of using my logging winch with a self-releasing snatch block. Normally, I'm winching out much longer logs and cutting them down when I get them trailside. In this case, I was just after a chunk of that birch for a friend who does wood turning, and I picked up he other log since I was already in the area.

I do enjoy crop tree release work: the focus is on what I am leaving behind in the forest, rather than what I am taking out.

With all the pulp cut and trucked out, I am continuing cutting my 5th and likely final load of pine sawlogs for this year.
I am back in the big stuff so it is adding up quickly

Cut and wedged, tree down, limbs trimmed, log hauled

The forest can take care of itself... It doesn't need help.

Well it's not paying the bills so it has no say in the matter.

why such a small face? Looks like if you had gone deeper closer to 1/3 maybe 1/2 way I doubt you would of had to wedge and if you did it would go much easier.

Some examples of deeper faces, moving the hinge farther back made it so I wouldn’t have to wedge or if I did the wedging went easier.
