Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[MarcS]

Saw the picture of the manure spreader and before I looked to see where you are from thought "there's a good old boy from WI" Lots of old spreaders used for wood duty, they work well.

Load #1 going to the house.

Thanks, Brian

Yes Sir, I hauled a lot of wood in that old thing.

Tractor is maxed out, still better than handling the wood again.

Load number 5 dropped. Mix of ash and basswood again. Not ideal but we pretty much have the clearing made for dad's new 80x40 garage so I am taking whatever comes down.

I have about 20 of the 30 totes filled with oak, so far.

Still have a bunch to cut and split. Not sure if I should get more totes or not.

Pano of my area.. I have a total of about 8 cords I think. There's another 2 not in the picture. On the left is for this winter. The rest for next winter and for some friends/family if they need it.

Excellent! Way cool pic, too.

Agreed. I need to figure out how to do that.

What's the rough math? 5 rows, 35 feet long, 6 feet high, 28 inch pieces roughly. Stacked nicely. That's my goal before it gets really crappy here come end of Dec. and some nights before then.

Total cords would be between 16.5 and 17 cords.

Okay thank you! I have estimated in the past that each one of those dump trailer loads yields roughly one cord and I have been thinking in my head I need about 15 loads. I think last year I did 14 and regretted not having one more come early May but it was brutal here in central MN in Feb. Burned wood like never before on that minus 30 stuff that stuck around for a couple weeks.

MORE! MUST HAVE MORE!

I like to back the splitter up to a big piece of wood or the stacked pile etc. This way as I sort through the pile I put the bigger stuff next to the splitter and once I have a pile there I split it up. This way the splitter cannot backup and the ram just pushes the split stuff further down away as in the photo. A very simple idea hit me to put the cheesy wheel chocks I have behind the splitter wherever I want it. Seems to work great. Probably late to the party on this idea but oh well.

I posted some pics earlier from when I actually heated with wood. Ive since moved from the country into town, but couldn't give up splitting with a maul. My father in laws farm has this huge concrete slab that was unused for the most part so I decided to claen up a good sized corner to claim as my splitting area

This is my kindling, its ash and cedar cut at about 10"

Couple dump trailer loads of soft maple/ash. I don't usualy cut soft maple but these are from a small clearing job ive been working on


And a glory shot of the maul

As of today I have 8-9 months put up. The stacks and the stove house is packed.
