Wow, thats a h$ll of a splitter!

Have many ways, but the first one is one of my favs.

I prefer to use my Kubota BX24-

But if it is too steep I use my ATV-

I also built this, fully adjustable, the lift point pulleys can be slid anywhere on the main tube and the axle assembly can also be moved anywhere for balance-

That Kubota is sweet! One of these days I am going to try and pick up one of those for chores around here. I have lots of projects for something like that!

I love that little tractor- it has been the biggest labor saver ever and I let it do most of the heavy lifting, as a survivor of 4 hernia repairs thats a very good thing!
Besides its immense usefullness it is just plain fun:biggrinbounce2:
My wife once said she thought I was coming up with projects just to use the tractor.
Well DUH!

I end up hauling it back and forth to my land, so its the perfect size right now for me, it fits inside my enclosed trailer with an ATV and my motorcycle. Never understimate the little BX24, what a workhorse.

I found this great little wagon a few days ago. I bought from an old gent who had built it himself using pressure treated lumber and a lawn tractor chassis. Solid as can be. The front tires were shot so I bought a couple of cheap ones on line and had them mounted at a local shop. It's perfect to pull with our lawn tractor, or if needed, I can pull it with my 8N. It should easily fit down the trails in the woods as it is no wider than the little tractor pulling it. I can load my saws and gear and head out to the woods and use it to bring the wood back to my work area. It measures 50 inches long, 29 inches wide, 22 inches to the top of the rails and the bed is six inches deep.
I figure I could add a stake bed to have taller walls to haul more if I need to.
I sold my Bride on it by telling her it would a lot of fun to pull our granddaughters around the property and through the woods in the wagon.
Here are a couple of pics with the first load of wood brought up to the front porch.

Yup but it had to come down... got lots of it, the place where I cut it was on my NC land, gotta pay $20 a ton to dump it, or let it rot, or haul it home and turn it into heat.

You might note the ATV trailer wood was hickory so am I absolved?

 

[woodbutcherNYS]

This is the way I do it. I don't load anything that is too big for me to burn. I try to cut down on the number of times I touch the logs. The mess stays in the woods.

This is my setup, it works really well for my needs

I only burn poplar when it's above zero inside.

I don't think the tranny of your lawnmower will hold up long if you ad more weight!

I never could get the feeling out of my head that we are being watched in the woods!
Nice little bulldozer you have there!

I was wondering when you were gonna post in this thread. I followed your "New tractor and winch thread" and really enjoyed it.

How is the equipment working for you? I think you had recently done a follow up. But that was a little while ago. Are you cutting firewood this year or do have enough to sell already?

By the way, it was your pics that finally sold me on the winch. Especially the one where it snapped the 22" diameter pine in half. Those were some huge logs. Thanks for posting.

My favorite way to get wood out of the woods is with a helicopter, but unfortunately I don't have one, so I use my tractor. :hmm3grin2orange:
