Good Day in the Woods

[Laird]

Spent the day pulling out logs. This was the second trip and forgot to take a pic at the end of the day. I'll take another one end of day tomorrow. Mostly Hickory with some Beach thrown in.

Looks good! I'm itching for deer season to be over so I can go back out!

Nice pile you got going on !

Man, that's sweet.

Here I am rubbing two sticks together and you're walking around with a zippo!

Wood and Equipment

Now that is a good score and you have the equipment to bring the big ones to one area. That makes it real handy when cutting them up and splitting.

[wdchuck]

Nice.


Both of your tractors are good sized, which one is in the picture?

The 4630 is in the pic, the 6030 still has a mower on it. Its time to get the mower off and get the carryall on.

Here's a couple more pics from today.

Forgot to take a pic of the pile when I finished for the day, but I've got thirty logs right now. I'll get them bucked and split before I pull any more out.

Laird, whats the rod sticking up in the air near the front of your loader in the last pic?

Nice! How much was that skidding attachment.

Tells me where the bucket on the FEL is at. There is a mark on it that lets me know when the bucket lip is level with the ground.

If I remember right it was about 2.5K in 1985....not sure what they cost today.

How many acres you have there?

Was that an extant road or did you have to dut it out yourself?

About 300 acres in timber and I made the road in the early 80's. It follows the ridge line through the property and has spurs on the off shooting ridge lines. All told there are about 6 miles of timber roads. Helps us get a better price when we have a timber sale if they can get it out easier.
