saturdays Cutting.

I have about three acres that I'm clearing a little at a time. I plan to eventually have it where I can use a bushog on it and keep it clear.It is basically a grown up jungle .I used my dads kubota to build the road.I cut up two big poplars that had blown down last fall,I know poplar is not great firewood but I hate to waste anything.
I intend to mix it with my other wood and use it in early fall or spring time heating.
Anyway I had to cut them up anyway to be able to get to the good stuff.many oaks and hickory standing in this patch of woods.and best part,,,there all mine whenever I want them.

Surprised how green it is there this early in the year.

That is a jungle.

It's good to be the king!!! Looks like you've got some nice toys to play with as well. It's great to be in the woods.

Thanks,,I built the splitter back in the winter .I've purchased the cub new in 04 and honestly dont know how I ever lived with out it.I built a hydraulic bed dump and added a winch to the front.It sure has held up well .The only thing that has ever been replaced was one of the coils on the honda engine.
I generally load it a lot heavier than shown but I'm climbing up a pretty steep area and anymore wood than I have here will fall out .

Looks like you had a productive saturday. Always nice when you can take your time on a job. Nice set-up ya got. What brand of splitter ?

The splitter was my winters project.I have only split about a cord of wood with it so far.I plan on adding a lift table in the near future..

Nice job on the splitter

Green up is running ahead up here by 2 to 4 weeks. Some stuff like grass is just a smidge ahead of schedule, other stuff like rhododendrons that shouldn't bloom till mid-May are already!

I was wondering if I was imaging things till one of the fire weather forecasts last week mentioned green up was ahead of schedule.
