Myself and an older guy I know went out to my secret wood cutting area and went to town. The weather was perfect for cutting and splitting, and we took advantage of it. Here's a few pics of the action.
Blocking and noodling area, and blatant Stihl abuse. There was a nedium sized white oak log between the huge white and red oaks.
A little extra muscle never hurt anybody, or is it cheating?
Loggers lunch. I'm in the orange shirt.

First of two loads, this one nearly maxed out the 3500# trailer axle. Th heavy duty hand cart is essential for moving these big rounds. It has a 1000# capacity and is about $60 from Northern.
That was my day, had a great time in the nice weather, and have about 10 more loads there waiting to be cut.
OK, you need to let me know where this big wood is......
Can't tell you, would have to kill you, and you wouldn't want that, would you?
Here is trailer abuse. After looking at how nice you where treating that 3500# trailer. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at it this happens all to often at my place.
Did you load those by hand?
I think a low trailer with a ramp is much easier to move big wood than a pickup. One of my friends insists on splitting everything as soon as it is cut and loading his truck with splitter in tow. I think it is a horribly inefficient way of doing wood and limits us to only moving 1/2 cord at a time on a 1/2 ton truck. I am more of a fan of loading a trailer down with the big stuff and loading the truck with smaller stuff, saving room for saws and gear and splitting it at my own leisure.
Yeh Hulk is my firewood buddy. hehehehe No really I use a grapple on tractor.Did you load those by hand?
