Anyone coming up through the Somerset/New Richmond/Osceola area with a big enough trailer to haul a 6000# tractor?

I had a friend with a fifth wheeler lined up, but he had to back out due to family stuff. I'm thinking a tractor might help a lot with the blowdowns we'll be seeing. I'm thinking narrow front M farmall would get around good up there.

If not, I think I can get ATV and trailer at least.

I've got another skiddy lined up hopefully with a grapple attachment. Also the BIL has a Farmall C with a HD 5x8 trailer that is coming also.
 
How wide is the M

Steve how wide is your farmall M . My traier is 77" wide between the fenders might be able to haul it if I would bring the big trailer . It looks like ther will be a pretty good crew of guys showing up. How is that area for ticks?

OK, I'll see about bringing the ATV and wood trailer then. Perhaps you might ummm, "demo" that UTV you got sitting in the showroom? :D

Set on 76" centers, so probably close to 90" overall. Thanks for the thought anyway. Not sure how the ticks will be up there, but at least "here", 40 miles south, ticks were almost non existent most of the year last year, hope it will be the same this year - hate the little buggars. Hopefully the skeeters won't be out yet either.

The sand flies ought to be out by then!
 
Is anyone going to be passing by/near Colfax,WI? I left a hydraulic cylinder at JD's place and probably won't make it on the 17th. I was wondering if someone could drop it off on their way home. Otherwise I will have to wait until I can make it back up there.:cry:
 
Just kind of curious..........

The charity cuttting coming up is the subject. The property you're going to have the upcoming cutting on is the one shot ranch. That used to be owned by the Dosch family. At one time, I and one of the Doshes offspring, named Steve, owned what was then the first place on North Refuge road, right across from his families place. Steve still lives there, although the original cabin was torn down and he rebuilt. I'm just curious if the Dosch family still owns One Shot Ranch. Old Joe Dosch is long gone, But I'm not sure about Bob and Lee, Steves uncles. I have no idea if any of your members are related. I used to hunt that area, as long back as the mid sixties. I know the original One Shot Ranch, which burned down a number of years ago, but they rebuilt it. Let me know, ok. Thanksl.

Yes, the Dosch family still owns it.
Boyd(Steve's cousin) is WetGunPowder on this site.
We will be piling the wood right across the road from Steve.
You can come on up too!!:cheers:
 
What length bar would you recommend for this event?

I've got a bad habit of taking way to many extras with me when I go somewhere to cut and the last thing I should be doing is wasting time making trips lugging my gear into the woods.
 
A few of these will take a long bar. I'll be running a 28" on my 7900.
Most of them will only need a 20" though.
I prefer my 28 because I hate to bend over if I don't have to.
 
I also have my 044 setup with the 28" bar , the 20" bar is in my saw box just in case I need it. The other two saw's will be wearing what they have setup in my Sig. I don't think The 090G will be ready to go for that weekend. Still trying to locate a .404 sprocket for it , and then I will need a bar and chain. The way everthing is going it should be a good time.

How many cord do you think we will need to cut. I am use to cutting down to 1.5" for limbing , that way you always have kindling wood to restart your fire.Seems like I am using a lot of kindling now, just a fire every other day to get the chill out of the house.

We'll have to see what size of a crew shows up. I don't know how many cord it will be. Looks to be a couple dozen medium oak trees that are tipped over.
We'll just cut till we get tired or done. No pressure !
