Tractors and wood! Show your pics

l don’t feel like a roof top built for the wagon is a remedy as l use this thing on the road as well.
Gets me thinking however.

It's funny you mention this, as building small roofs to set on some of my equipment (aerator, brush hog, etc.) has indeed been one of my solutions for storage, over the years. I've found you can build a roof that is extremely light using cedar rafters, purlins, and shakes. And if the rafters extend even an inch beyond the lowest row of shakes, no problem sliding it off the wagon to lay on the ground, when moving the wagon or using it for other purposes.

One thing I do a couple of ways is throw the splits in the tractor bucket and then hauling it to my long term storage area. Lately I’ve just been focusing on just throwing the splits in a big pile, I then later would somewhat neatly stack them in the tractor bucket and haul them to my storage.

I’ve found I can just use the FEL to scoop up a bucket full and haul that to storage. It doesn’t fill the bucket as well as doing it by hand but is much quicker.

Something w a tarp stretched over it comes to mind. I found these long, one inch square fir lengths of wood the previous owner stored in the garage loft that l may be able to use to rustle up a frame with.
There is also a part of me thinking I’m overthinking but rain does have to shed itself off whatever the cover.

Wish I had my tractor at the new house but still using it at the old place. Plus I still need to build a shed for the tractor before l bring it here.
I could just build a crib for the splits, fling the splits in there from the wood shed and fork the crib over to the side porch deck and cover that with a tarp.
I think we’re narrowing down on a solution.

Boats use this method, a fiberglass plank that is bowed and jammed between fittings on the gunwhales, before stretching the cover over the boat. But they don't usually have to support snow loads!

I’m near boats. See a lot of them around here. Rather be seeing tractors and dozers and excavators but they don’t float as well as boats.
We’ve gotten 3” of snow so far this year near the shore and 5” at my other house further north.
Seems we’ll be on our way for more like South Carolina type weather here in N.E. soon enough.

Going to look at 3-4 cord of oak at a very cheap price tomorrow so hopefully I can add some pics to this thread.

Right now it's a little more about the wood and a little less about the tractor!

Brought over 3 cords of wood into the garage today. Should be set for the year.

Love my covered totes.

Had some wood in face cord bulk bags that should have been easier to move than the totes that hold almost half a cord. Note to self….put the bags on decent pallets…moron!
