Sorry for the photo overload but someone said it was getting quiet on here....

Hope u get well soon Jeff here's a couple more pics for you...

Spent the last week cleaning up after crazy storm that hit us. I'm in yarra valley area and had no power for a couple of days. But nothing to complain about compared to the poor buggers in the Dandenong Ranges near us that will be without power for at least another 3 weeks....they have called in...

Crazy footage Derwoodii, hard to comprehend the damage. Looks like Armageddon in some areas...

Thankfully no damage on our place. But first job was to cut a path so my neighbour could get in and out. That bar was a 48" bar on a 088 Stihl.

Have attached a couple of pics of the carnage some I took and some are news pics. They've today called in 120 army troops to assist with the clean up....

G'day fellas been following for a while but never posted on this chat. Spent the last week cleaning up after crazy storm that hit us. I'm in yarra valley area and had no power for a couple of days. But nothing to complain about compared to the poor buggers in the Dandenong Ranges that will be...

Glad I never got stopped with this load last year. I was very surprised how well the Navara handled the load. Having swapped from a Ranger to a Navara (work vehicle they swap them over every 3 years on a lease agreement)I thought I'd be disappointed in the performance of the navara but after a...

No just checking out his setup. I used to do a bit of wood cutting with him when he worked for our company. I only cut for firewood for our place (approx 3-4m³ a year) and I sell a bit to some local residents around me. But definitely not enough to require a processor. I did buy a new log...

He also has an industrial block in town with a larger processor for bulk firewood sales. He currently supplies all the caravan parks and camping grounds in the surrounding area and a couple of small independent petrol stations

Then to keep the thread back on topic I visited and old work colleague who now runs a firewood setup in Wangaratta. He has a yard just out of town with a small processor and a new machine that they imported from Sweden for splitting up kindling.

@cowboy253 I got up to your part of the country last week. You certainly have some beautiful scenery. Went to Beechworth and Bright.

Must be a bad time of year for the funnel web. My brother in law lives in western Sydney and went out to get a load of wood yesterday and was just stacking it at his house and nearly put his hand on one that was in the timber. Reckons it was a cranky beast too.

Thanks @Jeffkrib took it pretty slowly. Yes I have heard of some of the old D40 Navara's bending chassis rails before. The wood was mostly stringybark, but found one decent log of yellowbox. Probably a third of the trailer is yellowbox and the rest stringybark. Boy that yellowbox is tough...

Almost got stuck on one of the water run off bars that they put along the track to stop erosion. One wheel wasn't touching so wasn't going anywhere until I locked the diff.

Got out for a scrounge on Friday. Certainly glad that the trailer had electric brakes. Reckon there was close to 3 tonne on there. Was a beautiful day for it.

Thanks Cowboy, bit far from me unfortunately. Driven through there before though, it's certainly a beautiful spot. Your folks must've been pretty close to the fires that went through that area.
