Runnin' Loads

And, every once in a while, I actually pull a load for a delivery to a special customer:

Impressive looking load there!

How did they stack those?

Here are a couple of mine:

 

[Sawdust inspector]

A good days work. Had to make room for more ash now. The smell of fresh split ash and beer is the best

How did they stack those?

There are wedges put between the logs to stop them from rolling and they would be pulled up by true horse power, up logs set cross wise to the sled as ramps.

Nice setup!!

 

[lefturnfreek]

So I did a few loads but.... my phone decided to only save a few pic....

So here's what's left

Another load of split from pile 1 +3, pretty much done now.



Pile 2 finally emerged from the snow...yet to be processed...and a teaser of the 1.4ish cord load on the 4x4 that came out of the yard. The full pic went into the ether....



And an ugly load of kibbles on the back and 4ft's in the front from the bush today. 4ft's are going on the pile and going to burn the kibbles cause it's sooo warm right now and I'm right on the border of shutting down the boiler




The full on Suck Season is just about here and I'll have to step away from the saw for a while shortly.

Just a twig there...

If I never cut anything other than birch for the rest of my days, I wouldn't complain.

 

[lknchoppers]

One on the F250 & One on the C20.

I love it when I cut trees and it ends up to be exactly two loads.

Hey I thought I was doing good lol. I don't often cut volume amounts of birch so it worked pretty well. OTOH I can eyeball an aspen and tell you almost exactly how much it will yield.

Another chunk from the last bought of splitting.



That really made the splitter work, probably 4 tries on each end before it popped, and then it still put up the good fight for each 1/4ing.

Here's the load I did yesterday, I really want to get done already...



This lil block said no way I'm gona split, had to use the saw to rip a 2in grove in it and a few others, then it split but one of the halves was still a bit stuborn and heard an odd clank when it split....



For size comparison, the knife is 12in's tall.





and...dang it...cracked the cylinder mount.



....so took it easy on it and still didn't finish today. So close, the last 18 rounds are still soo frozen to the ground I couldn't pop them free with an ax as it has dropped just below freezing again, trucks 3/4's full again, maybe I'll finish up tomorow.



I think all these rounds are gona put a hell of fight as the previous ones were no cake walk.

Glad to see the weld held good enough to finish your day.
