2 grapple loads

[Scootermsp]

2 grapple loads (PIX)

About 70% Hickory, 30% Oak. I liked this first load so much I had a second dropped. This pile plus the rounds I cut should be about 18 cords. Along with the 7 already done and the pile of free stuff out front i am good to go for about 2.5 years.

Nice! Not much splittin to do there.

Very nice! Also good sized wood. What does a load like that run?

 

[Scootermsp]

$800x2 = $1600 for 2 loads (18 cords) about $88 per cord. It really is premium stuff.

 

[John D]

Thank you! Ive been gathering my own,its rewarding,but time consuming.

When you get right down to it thats actually cheaper by far than all the equipment I've bought and I still have to work my a** off to go cut it and bring it home. Good deal.

Nice looking work area you have there and that woodplie is the cats meow.

I agree. It's worth $1600 of my TIME to have it cut and stacked where I'm going to process it. Not to mention that I'm not cutting my own trees. When you add in the expenses of heavy equipment it really is a good deal. All I use is a 20HP JD 345 tractor with a tow behind trailer. I pull my splitter with this as well. Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Kyle....still burning?

 

[LAH]

Nice sticks there.

 

[alderman]

I'd cut on that....

just for fun. If you are into making fire wood that is about as good as it gets.

 

[hangnail]

who did you get that from, I had searched for a supplier, but only found guys charging way too much for rounds

 

[mimilkman1]

Hi Kyle....still burning?

Nope, stopped around the end of April.

Nice!

I've got a guy here that will sell me a truckload delivered for $900. All pine and cedar. He says it's about 6-7 cords. I still have to buck and split it. Not much profit left after that.

It might be too far away for me, but if you wouldn't mind PM'ing me your supplier I would like to find out for sure.

Thanks
