just thought i would share, i am probably not the first to do this but i have not seen it before. stacking on skids is an old tradition for many of you and i have done it for years myself. just this year i thought of doing something different. my wife is not a big fan of loading up the trailer in the middle of winter to haul around the firewood to our enclosed porch so she makes me do it all
well with the wood set up this way on the individual skids i can load it up and drive it around with my tractor. i figure each skid hold about 1/3 cord, they are 48"x40"stacked 48" high. i stack the better stuff on the outside and throw all the crotches, shorties and general misfits in the middle so that is usually not real tightly packed.
i built the 3 point forklift attachment for about $20 using mostly metal i had lying around. i know it is not adjustable and i am looking to add a tilt cylinder in place of the top link but it works great overall and is useful for moving all kinds of stuff now.:greenchainsaw:
