Good find! Nice to have the right equipment (1 ton and tractor) to load and haul, one day I'll at least get a 1 ton. Looks like you got your work cut out for you. What kind of logs are those?

Finds like that make woodburning fun, lots of wood to test the saws on.

Nice stash! Wish I had that kind of wood stash available.

Can I come over and help you cut it up?

There's some fine lumber in there if you can get a bandmill after it.
It's a shame to burn those straight logs, but I know the heat will feel good.

Wrong time of year for a brush hog isn't it. Just busting ya, nice pics.

(I know its probably for weight with the bucket)

Nice find! I believe they call that a Bonanza. I only wish I had access to that kind if free wood around here.

after some time with the log calculator....i would say each load went from 15,000 to 18,000 pounds...depending on what spieces of wood that was on it....the one in the pic was a small load

 

[Saucydog]

Congrats,that's one heck of a score.Do you split by hand or machine?

I'm just amazed at how your 1 ton truck handles that much weight. I mean I wouldn't think it was possible. And then you're towing the trailer with a load also??!! Very impressive vehicle. Looks like a Chevy 3500? I always thought you needed some big azz Peterbilt type vehicle to move all that? Sorry, no real questions here, I'm just amazed.:jawdrop:

 

[Deadman]

Sucks that you have to dump all the nice clean wood into all that Mud!
I've got a 2007 JD 2520 (27HP) and its amazing how much wood a little tractor can move in short order!
Nice pics!

it's a 93 chevy K3500 4x4 6.5 turbo diesel 5 speed 12,500 pound cab & chassie with a 10 ton PTO hoist....the JD is a 33hp with 4 IN 1 bucket just grab and go...makes it easy loadin' the big stuff..
