I agree with zogger, you got yourself a "good bit" of wood there, and a good "crew" too.....:hmm3grin2orange: very nice. :msp_thumbup:

What happened to the railing???

 

[KyleOh]

Not a beagle lol far from....he is about 115lb sheppard/husky mix, the black one is a pitbull, of course they are the best dogs in the world IMO.

What happened to railing? You sound like my wife haha. The deck was just built a month ago and due to my buddy having to go back to work the back steps did not get completed yet. That is going to be a platform with steps down to the driveway. I got lots of projects

Does kinda look like a Beagle.....:hmm3grin2orange:
Nice pics. :msp_thumbup:

It gets done here!

This is my first post and a big hello to all. I've been lurking and gleaning info for a few months and would like to say thank you to a great forum, its administrators and knowledgeable posters. What a find!! I think I'm addicted 'cause it seems as though I constantly checking the new posts for info and insight. I've been cutting since the mid '70s - a few cords per winter and started with a Mac 10-10. This year, a big change since the derecho hit in late June, wood has been laying all over. I cut 4 cords from one oak in my mom's yard. I now have 8+ cords in the back yard, which should take me into the start of the 2014 burning season. Here in South Jersey the winters aren't quite as harsh as other areas.

Anyway, I've read that if pics aren't posted then it ain't so! Here are a few.

I think the one piece of info that has been most valuable to me, and I don't remember the original poster, is "sharpen your chain before it is dull". How true!!!! It works.

Thanks.

My splitting area is usually where i drop the tree... no sense in loading up rounds... moving them, then splitting them and then stacking them.. plus it dries quicker..

Here's a few.. I don't have that much wood this year. I use those metal crates from those 250-300 gallon totes... they work perfect for storage and hold about 1/3-1/2 cord. They are perfect for loading up, and then picking up with the tractor and storing by the house.. when its empty, go grab another, or fill it up from the pile. My little tractor does not like a full tote of oak at all....

 

[OH_Varmntr]

Dang man, I'd love to have that little tractor you've got. I loved your build thread on your loader! Glad to see you're puttin that thing to work. :msp_smile:

My dad and I went to clean up the last of a Pignut Hickory today. Friend had it taken down and they got all the easy stuff. Base was easily 40+ inches across and the smallest of what we got was about 22" across.

That stuff is HARD, but will burn very nicely I believe. Pics tomorrow if I can remember!

Aarolar, unless my eyesight is failing me, that's an ugly looking rock in your 3rd pic.

Hickory is good burning wood.. Never used/cut/burnt the pignut variety though... Thanks,yeah that little beaver isn't pretty but I love it... I have about 2K total in it. At the time when I built it (last fall) I had just bought the house and was broke and couldn't afford a 15K dollar Kubota BX. Now, I wouldn't have one.. I do have to fix the bucket/fork dump cylinder.. It let loose picking up a crate of green oak, so I have a chain on it until I get a dual cylinder setup fabbed up.

I know it is good for 1500lbs...that's what this kubota parts tractor weighed... I got a front hyd dozer blade, the backwards CCW pto woods mower and the wheel weights off of it and sold it for what I paid for it...

That would be concrete someone put in a knot hole sometime many years ago. Made an ugly mess of my brand new stihl chain...

Freakingstang, how many hp is that little mitsu? You make me want to build a loader for my little Yanmar but I can't convince myself it would be useful as small as it is. Here it is on a trailer next to a cub cadet.
