Hey @dancan , dunno why but I can only see the second pic. How's your back feeling after cutting a million poles off at the base?

Got some larger oak rounds yesterday. Time to cut and split. Only problem is I am waiting on a ignition coil for my splitter.

Gotta love google photos. As you know, I've not found it plan sailing myself recently!

Not sure bout the first pic , I'll repost it tomorrow.
I started the second lot this afternoon but only burnt one tank of mix .
No back issues at all with all the low cutting and that lightweight saw is a big plus at the end of the day.

Another thing about cutting them million trees is that I handled 95% of them by either stacking the poles or just moving the tops and slash to keep myself from being gridlocked in the cutting zone .
More work and planning there than what the pictures show .
This next lot has a lot more bigger trees, I might have to bring the tractor and winch so I don't get myself jammed up .

I don't doubt that for one minute. So much time is spent dragging stuff around.

You know, if we all pitch in, we can buy Dan a little digger with a cutting head. Or he can keep using the Ryobi and we can get him one of these for the tractor:

Damn, that like ruins everything, is just as bad as getting wood that is already cut, I just won't do it!!!

 

[MustangMike]

Moved out another cord of wood this morning. A lot of work, and the max length for this person is 16", so we sort as we go through.

Then came home and split some wood here, then cut the grass. Then had an appt with a client, and then chilled with a couple of Sams.

Restrained myself and my CAD today as I skipped over a cheap husky 61. Part of me really wants it though. Went and stacked a couple cord from the split pile instead. Took my daughter fishing on a small canoe only lake today where it was just us and a family of loons. Pretty good day at Jeff's house!

 

[KiwiBro]

Or maybe Dan could build one of these instead:

So I went back for more locust today and brought home a load of wood. I did manage to shoot some and stacked it next to my scrounged ash I got earlier this year.
Here's a pic from the guys yard. The size is deceiving. I cut up what's on the ground and it filled my truck. Most was about 24" diameter.
