Today's load of slab wood. The stack grows as the seasoned stuff in front gets used. Got a pile of pieces that need split & a handful of longies that need cut. That's a project for another day.

No shortage of oak. It's been raining right smart over the holidays and the ground at the sawmill looks like a freshly plowed field. The muddy ground is probably keeping most woods scroungers away. The mill loader has left deep ruts all through there. Man, that place is pigged up bad. Can't get in or out without a 4X4.

My sauna stove would love that stuff.
 
Treebilly how much did your skidsteer splitter cost ??
I think it was around $3400. I bought it over a year ago and have just recently got to use it. Cycle time isn't the fastest but my back sure feels better at the end of the day. I have to contact them and find out if I can run it on high-flow. That would speed it up a bit, just not sure if it'll damage anything since there isn't a case drain.
 
Husqvarna 65 and some ripping chain. Solving the "I can't lift it and the splitter won't split it" problem. Some of these big ones even eject a wedge.

Well I just Pm'd spike60 for a price on a 562. That's the first step of rationalization. Then I can mull it over for a few months before finally pulling the trigger.

I dunno man..supposedly the new 70 cc whatever autotune might be coming out then....allegedly..rumors..have..rumors...whatever. The guys who have been doing the top secret testing seem to think it might be quite the winner...
 
Brian, try noodling instead of cutting like you did. I think that is what Philbert was getting at too. Noodling takes less work than end cutting.
Got it. I will try it that way on the next one. There are still some chunks of that big pig in the rounds pile.

Tree monkeyed 562 is the angriest saw I've ever run. I'll take my chances as whatever comes out next may certainly have some teething problems.
