Show Us Your Brag Load

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Sawyer Rob: like that PTO log splitter you have there. looks to be HD all the way. real nice! how many TONS is it rated at? when u have it up and operating do you have to support the free end underneath at all? what brand is it, if you don't mind my asking?....

Not my load, but thats a pretty BIG load Right there . . . .
Evidently Port McNeil Vancouver Island - on private road!
and I'm pretty sure it's not photoshoped.

either way, biggest I have ever seen... even on Gold Rush tv show... lol... and I have seen some big stuff come on down out of the High Cascades, Snoqualmie area... when we were young kids taveling... whenever we came across a big load of timber, wood... etc,... Dad wouldn't say, 45 cords there... LOL... always would say, "full block of houses for sure... "

to Dad: DAD, R.I.P. one of the Pacific NW's best gunsmiths, shooters and White Hunter.

My splitter is a Timberwolf TW3HD, and I've not found ANYTHING that will stop it, The little Deutz diesel powering it, just sips fuel and purr's away...

EVERYTHING get's pushed through the 4-way wedge,

No support is needed on the end,

I like the way it's "self propelled", I can drive it right out where I need it. It's fast and extremely well made, it's one of my best buys!

MAN! another monster load... from the high country! that certainly would make Paul Bunyan smile... his blue ox, Babe too, no doubt! impressive to say the least... however... smiles aside... are there any vids of these kind of loads coming down the spirly mountain roads...? I know the crew I ran with in the high timber din't load like this!!! doubt we could have evern found a driver 'brave enough'... heck down south here... on regular roads... they tip 'em over on a regular basis... and we are not talking too high of a center of gravity... still, this un here... no doubt is a classic: gotta love it!! lol

well, not to be outdone in the world of [toot! - toot!!] show us your brag load... here is my weekend brag load! on wheels, too i mite add, pun intended - 2 wheel wheel barrow... kinda proud of it...

nice pile of split cedar kindling! 10 cu ft wheel barrow is about half full... was about 1/3 full with first batch. 7 - 8 cu ft split cedar kindling! should end up with 6 - 8 or so packed brown paper grocery bags full, which is how I pack it away for dry keeping and easy use access. I augment the cedar with never-run-out pine tree twings (got plenty). think that cedar kindling is hard to beat... lits fast, easy and burns hot. so what do you think? worthy of being a brag load?... albeit at the other end of the scale??

There is a guy that does trash pickup as a side job where I live. He is one of 3 companies that do it here in the village and his truck looks almost that bad. It has some kind of slip-in trash handler in the bed of his pickup.

Got it in the barn on edge and no banding. so far so good. If it holds up I'll slice it again and make some tables out of it. Just a waiting game at this point. Ash tree was standing dead for a few years.
