Shook down the processor last Sunday with the help of Gingrsnap, Grandpa Tractor, and Mikey. Still some learning to do but the 85 degree heat didn't slow us down! going to try to get there again on Sept 13th. I know it's the start of the NFL season and the Packer/Vikings game. I personally have no interest in professional sports this year no matter what sport it is..........
 
Here are a few pics from the maiden use of the processor up at Denny's. It was amazing to see what it could do in 5 work hours!

That is really cool, what y'all are doing. And that processor looks pretty boss!
 
Thanks for the pics Grizz. Plans are to "work the woodpile" again on Sept. 27th. My goal is to get everything cut and split that's on the west side of the driveway before the snow season hits-if we can get a crew together and run the cutting stand and the processor at the same time we should be able to knock out the pile closest to the driveway!
 
Had a great turn out and between the cutting stand and the processor we knocked out between 30-35 cord! Plan is to hit it again this Sunday Oct 11th with the primary goal of removing all the standing oaks that have died from oak wilt. Will have both skidsteers and a mini excavator to dig out the stumps. Hope to run the processor while tree removal is going on. Breakfast in Siren at 0700-starting in the woods around 8.
 
Thanks for posting the pics Grizz! The landscape around the woodyard sure has changed over the last 10 years! Probably 2-3 cord left to process from the trees that were taken down the back into the log pile! Shooting for Nov 1 to hit it again-hopefully with JD back in the normal routine! He starts his new job back home on Nov 1.

JD's coming home?!? [emoji3]

What is he going to be doing?
 
We have been blessed (for some cursed) with a fair amount of snow here the last few days. Plans are to hit the woodpile again on Nov 1. If we can get a big enough crew together to run both the processor AND the cutting stand we can knock out another 30-35 cord before winter!
