DRUGSTORE LOGGER
The wife and I spent a few hours bucking up and splitting a nice sized hickory today. The tree is on our property in WV and had been dead for many years but we left it standing as a wildlife tree then this past winter it blew down. Beautiful straight log - I should have milled it but I already have way too many logs on the log stack so it turned into some very nice firewood.
This photo shows the log, my 3pt hitch splitter and the trailer. When we were done the springs were sitting on the axel. Glad I only had to haul it back up the hill a few hundred yards to the house.
In this photo is my trusty 028 WB Super. It is my go-to saw when I want to get work done. It has a 18 inch bar today and the lower portion of the trunk used every bit of it and some more.
This is about 3/4 of the load on the trailer. The last three rounds went into the tractor's bucket as I didn't want to break an axel.
