Here's where my firewood comes from

[c5rulz]

Well my logger buddies are back in the area and are cutting on two parcels I have permission to cut wood. Bribes have been paid, (Honeycrisp apples) out of my orchard. I helped out a little hooking/unhooking chokers yesterday. I found it fascinating watching how quickly the boys get the wood out. This stand has some really nice oak on it. I am posting this here to avoid the chest pound of the Forestry and logging folks. Nice pics, enjoy.

The boys have only worked 1.5 days on this site, this is the progress so far.

Well I give them apples, really good ones at that. They got about 100#s this year.

I love them honeycrisp apples. Those sure are some beautiful oak logs the "boys" have harvested. It looks like the leavings are making some fine cordwood also. Stay safe.

Well I have moved up from 50cc saws for sure.

The big saws come in handy with this size of wood. I will noodle into manageable size while on the trailer to catch all the sawdust so it doesn't kill the grass.

Hi Frank,

Well I cut a another load this morning and unloaded it. While I was out the landowner called, he has mobility problems wanted to inspect the site. I picked him up and took a tour and talked with the boys again. I am not sure if it will work but I am hoping to get a 30 yard roll off container up their and have them load it. Rated weight spec is 55,000- 60,000#'s which I think is a pretty good haul of firewood. (Neighbor owns the roll off business and I run a skid steer for them so the rate is going to be extremely reasonable.

Now does this suck more?????????

Yes. Yes it does... Good for you though. Sounds like your playing all cards right with the boys and the land owner. I'm sure the LO appreciates you keeping an eye on things for him. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Lots of firewood in those big rounds!!
