Kept looking at the window pic and hoping it was just a reflection, then finished reading your post. Nope! 
that expensive window rack just became cheap....
few more cords split tonight. getting down to the last of the 3 ft round oak logs i got laying around - man i hate those things 
They are a pain but I like all the heart wood, bark sucks.
Absolutely agree. Big stuff is a lot of work but great for those with the time and the inclination.
Sorry about the rear window. I’ve done that a couple of times. Get a headache rack for sure!!
Made my own rack for when i haul wood. Can you say cheap a$$?

Very good idea, do you own a patent, or may I copy it?

Steve needs them on the outside of his bed also....
HaHa. Go for it. that one is 3-4 years old and may get replaced for next year. i stihl try to keep wood from hitting it but you can see some cracks in it. i used 2x3's trimmed for in the pockets and locust boards to fasten the lattice to.
Install one of these and you won’t have a headache from worrying about having to put another window in. I made this one myself, some people call them headache racks others call then cab guards

That's one way to look at it
I’m surprised with rounds like that you don’t run that thing vertically. Really liking that tractor! Snow should be gone by this weekend And hopefully dry enough to work.

Scrounger of Cellulose Based BTUs
I had 5+ cords stacked last fall. We went through about 2.5 cords this winter. I still have 1.5+ cords of Silver Maple and a cord of Ash & Beech (mixed) remaining.
I scrounged this up over the last 4 months. I estimate 4-5 cords. Beech, Ash, Mulberry, and various flavors of Maple - with some Oak, Walnut, Apple(?), and Cedar for flavor. The Cedar will end up in the camping wood pile.
The Beech, Ash, Oak, and Walnut is from trees that were dropped in 2015, so those are almost stove ready. The Maple should be ready to burn winter 2019-2020 if needed (doubt it though). The Mulberry will be for winter 2020-2021 at the earliest.
I have my work cut out for me. I'm going to try to get this split & stacked before June.

a tree falling in the woods
Work in progress...wish I could say I felled it but this is what I'm hoping is around 10ish cords from clearing our new building site.

Not a whole lot of wood, about 1 cord I believe. I just hope this Hickory is ready by winter, it has been cut since January and seems to be dryish already.
