Runnin' Loads

[lefturnfreek]

So it's fall time again and time to start runnin' loads for 2015 - 16 ....

Here' s load of horse kill tree's that I took out of one our pens. Yes, that is a jack all holding up the rear cause some of them were still wet, the rest were 2% moisture piece of coal, and it being well over a cord there's some weight there.












Go forth and chuck some chips....

I guess I don't get it. The truck is for storing wood and it needs the jack to keep it from mashing into the ground due to the weight?

Well it is a ford so it definitely isn't any good for hauling that wood...

I'm a huge GM/Chevy guy through and through but my dad had an old late 70's F150 that had a 460 in it and 1 ton running gear, it road like absolute **** unless it was loaded up clear to the top of the cab. Did a lot of ridin around with him deliverin wood back in the day.

Nice full load

 

[lefturnfreek]

Well your kinda off the mark a bit, the truck is for hauling wood, not storing it. By the time I got it loaded it was too dark for a good pic so I put the jack under it to take the stress off the springs over night and took pic's in the morning, went to work and unloaded it tonight.

It gets dark around here early until daylight savings kicks in again and pic's after dark suck, did it anyway for ya.





16 C or so ready to go for 2015 and 2016.






12 C or so far left for 2017, 1 and a bit scattered down the pallets to keep the horses off em, stacking out this winter for 2018




This threads about runnin' loads, lets see your loads.....and keep em coming

Popple is heavy as snot when wet. Ugh.

Do you have an outdoor boiler that accepts pieces that large or is that your wood that's too be processed a little further?

 

[lefturnfreek]

I have an OWB that takes 4fts, so nothing else to do except stack em. Larger wood or crooked I will block into pieces under 2 ft and split. I cut standing and fallen dead for the most part so it's pretty dry to begin with. Basic plan is, cut it to 4ft, knock off the knots and get in the pile....

 

[lefturnfreek]

Been a fairly non photogenic year as I have been just hauling a bit here and there. Here's a half decent load as the rest was kibbles and cut offs that weren't loaded yet but the sun was going down and had to get a pic soon as it takes even worse pic's in any less light.

















Lets see your loads!!!

Nice load on the trailer.

Thanks. We drove under 30 back into town, he was worried about his tires so we took it easy.

 

[lefturnfreek]

Ya, those are some pretty decent loads, keep em coming cause my day ended with one of these....





took a branch to the eye and scratched it pretty good, nothing too serious but I'll off the saw for a while.

 

[Agent Orange]

I hope you're OK, @lefturnfreek

Here's one of my first loads.

 

[lefturnfreek]

Ya, I'll be Ok in a few days as I took a branch pretty hard to my right eye soooo I no look so good right now. Not the first time and won't be the last.

Not too long after I started wearing my husky helmet with the face shield I took a good one across my face. Paid for itself that day.

 

[lefturnfreek]

So I'm back on the saw again as my eye is about 95% healed, soooo nice to be back in the bush and off the couch but, wow, was it hot the last few days, above 32 so everything is melting and I'm barely put on a evening fire in the OWB with just day cut kibbles, which is the stuff at the back of the truck, mostly dead dry willow and cut offs, knots....






Pretty piss poor pic, sorry, as I had other stuff to do as soon as I came back and that's the best my phone would do. I didn't try to hard at stacking the top coupla 4's on the front as they were going to the stack about 10min after the pic was taken. There should be a few more part loads this week to come.

How are your loads coming? Lets see em!!!

 

[lefturnfreek]

Well the weather temps are still up so off I went to the bush again today, just a part load again,l but a healthy one of 4's for the stack and kibbles to burn.











Just a lil weight there

Let's see your's....

 

[WoodTick007]

Well, it's always good to be rolling with confidence on quality rubber rated for the load and it definitely appears to the blindeye that all the wood was properly secured for transport. Excellent!
