    Here's another pic of the trailer after cutting a load of bigger stuff. Works really good.

    Here's some bigger tops.

    Some nice cherry. Still look like twigs to some of you guys?

    Shot of my sucker truck setup. 11 hp vac mounted by a receiver on the front end. Hose to the box on the back. Box is 6x8 and 6' high, door is hinged at the top. We recycle the leaves. We use a Walker and back pack blowers to get leaves to a central spot then vac them up. Also do some curbside pick ups with it.

    Pictures of a bigger ash.


    For the record, I never cut it but I did watch... From a safe distance. No one was hurt and nothing was damaged, this time. I'll do the felling next time I think. Granted it was a tough spot to cut.

    Good Thread

    Thanks for the great thread. You have some good ideas and very good methods of hauling and cutting those logs. Your splitters look like they can handle your larger rounds with no problems.

    Guess I should have explained the stump pic better. The pic is the actual stump, after he cut the tree down he cut it off at ground level. you can see where he cut the wedge then he cut from the other side but missed abit so he corrected and got it cut down. There was nothing around so no danger other than to him and I was hoping for a good pic anyway. It was a nice healthy tree but was in the way of a new shop and everybody knows the shop is more important.

    The equipment looks great. Cutting off the trailer must deffiently save your back. There is some pretty good size wood there, keep it up!

    Boy I wish I saw your log cart before I made mine. While I still like mine its 7'4" between the racks and makes it hard to get a 8' log on it. And there is no way to block the firewood while on the cart.





    I picked up a IH running gear with dump bed on it for 150 this spring and its just about done now. Waiting to get my stake pockets made so I side racks on it.

    Another couple of loads today. Got the wagon load cut into rounds before dark. Think I'm going to start stock piling the bigger stuff to cut up later. Saves some handling. Have to take some pictures of a couple of big maples we have to cut down, they look nasty. Did one today that was rotten except for 3" around the edges. Part of it is on the truck.

    Sale tomorrow so no cutting this weekend.

    Gotta cut this tree down at some point, there are 8 or 10 of them to come down. The loggers have already been thru and don't want them and owner says they need to go. So how many loads with my 3\4 ton Dodge? 3 or 4 or maybe more? It measures 12'-9" around about 4' high, not sure of height but it goes up a long way. We've got about a quarter of the tops out so far and have hardly touched any of the dead and half fallen stuff yet. We expect several years of work here. We ride our 4 wheelers here and the owner wants more trails so lots of wood. FYI, we bought the tops. Saw in pic is a 260.

    Big Tree

    Just estimating I'd say that trunk is about 4 feet across. Looks like you'll need a saw with at least a 24" bar.

    Lots of wood in that tree for sure and it might be more than 4 loads. But one thing for sure it should keep your stove going for quite a while.
