i bought a logrite and a friend gave me a fiskars. i call them picaroons. use them to move rounds from the ground to my splitter. the logrite is my go to, just seems to feel better and have the right weight for me.

sour gum, willow, aspen, cottonwood.

i have a small firewood and brush hogging business. small as in $10,000 a year gross sales for both. use a 5 ft brush mower and pull logs out of the woods and move splits in bucket on front end loader. started out with a 30 hp farm trac. a month after purchase they went out of business. my...

no, mine is a single piece of sheet metal with a lip so nothing can roll off the end, serves the same purpose as yours though. sure has saved me a lot of extra bending and allows me to have 2 or 3 pieces staged for splitting instead of one at a time.

my speeco is old enough that the add on kit speeco makes didn't work. i'm not handy at all so i rolled into flack hill, asked him to fab up a cradle and i'm real happy with the outcome. sorry, no pictures.

can't help you on the splitter he produces. i did have him make a log cradle for my older speeco splitter. good quality work, and a fair price. he is a tight lipped guy, so if you need to be stroked before buying it won't be from him. i was impressed with his set up and will use him again if...

i bought 3 gallons of rural king b&c oil because of the price. won't do that again. thinnest b&c oil i have ever encountered. back to TS for the next batch, or better yet the rare surprise of finding poulan in gallon jugs at walmart.

when it is convenient i'll stack a third of a cord of 100% oak and sell it for $5 more than a mixed load of lesser hardwood.

as long as you go into it knowing you won't make a lot of money you will be okay. i enjoy the whole process of producing firewood, from dropping the tree to putting a tiny bit per cord in the bank. yes it galls me when i see the absolute crap people are trying to pass of as seasoned firewood...

worst stuff i've ever split. finally figured the best way to split it is take off splits where the heartwood and sapwood meet. then if remaining sapwood is big enough split it once, or better yet stack it as a round. my brother has a ton of it on his property and i process firewood for him...

i use feel and sound to know when to change to a new file.

been selling firewood off and on, mostly on, as a hobby since i was 21. will be 63 this year. 2013 was my best year, sold 28 cords. i deliver and stack 1/2 cord loads where i live and set 1/3 cord loads at the roadside at my brother's place, customer loads. delivered to one lady. "you put...

red oak, white oak, hickory.

my woodcutting property is 78 miles from my house. I also process firewood for my disabled brother. that woodlot is 65 miles from my house. 5 miles away would be heaven.

black locust

i had both hands done at the same time. lost a little dexterity in both hands, but only a problem for really small stuff. for instance can get radiator plug out of my kubota tractor but can't get it back in. need another person to help me with that. still cutting and splitting just fine but...

pignut or bitternut hickory. no way is it ash or maple.

after 40 years of turning trees into firewood i kind of like the smell of red oak. hickory smells like horse sweat to me, but again not unpleasant. the worst, at least in my part of the world is ailanthus! nauseating! usually though, on our tree farm it only grows to a maximum 3" diameter...

4-5 years ago, my brother got $100 per tree for cherry and red maple. these were just average trees, nothing huge by any means. this was in norteast ohio.
