How do YOU get your wood out of the woods?

[whitedogone]

I have a few options.

I bet there is a Ford somewhere out of view to help that Dodge pull that load

Hahahaha...I was thinking the same. :biggrinbounce2:

Here's how I get mine most of the time. Cut/split right in the bush (leave the mess there) and just tow it out to stack, then go back again. Bought that trailer for $5 at a yard sale, was a lightweight tent trailer, and I built the wood body/bed on it with free plywood. It's paid or itself MANY times over. Will hold about a 1/3 cord fully loaded, But generally only load about a 1/4 or slightly less on there as it gets to be too much...

Front box holds saw, gas, oil, etc...

I want to build a better one this year.

I use an old 1950 8n for my wood hauling, and a 1975 Ford 5000 for hauling or skidding logs if I need to. With a homemade boom pole. It runs my splitter too.

The only Powerstrokes I know of around here are broke down from HPOP issues. :hmm3grin2orange:

Didn't phase the ole Cummins one bit.

OhioGregg, how do you like that splitter? I have the same one except mine is babychit yellow. I bought it from Tractor Supply and this is my third season using it. No complaints about mine, I like it. Run mine off the stub out hydraulic fittings on my Kubota 2900. Finally got a break in the weather today so I hooked it up and split about one cord. I'm officially into the splitting season with 6-7 cords of rounds that need to be split before the end of April. I generally pull the legs off the stand and haul it around on the 3 point hitch. Keep a can of WD-40 handy and spray down the valve lever and linkage and the other bare metal parts. It will save you having to clean rust off prior to using it.

This was last years pile. At our current burn rate it looks like I will have between 2-3 cords left for next season.

I like it real well, so far. Just bought it this past Oct. I would have bought the same one you have, but TSC didn't have one in stock. So I bought this one at a Rural King store. Was actually $100 cheaper than what TSC wanted for them. I did stop at TSC on the way home, and bought the log cradle and added that to it.
The splitter works great, but my 5000 only has a 6 gpm pump , so it isn't fast. I do have another tractor I might try it on later that has a 10 gpm pump. Will see if that makes much difference.

A friend of mine has a Husky gas powered version of this splitter, that he keeps here. It has a little more speed & power. So I think a tractor with a little more pump capacity would help.

Gregg,

I would love to do it like this! There is some Clydesdale/Percheron in my mare.

One of several I have, my 1962 Studebaker 7E13D 1 ton 4x4 truck with 9' stake bed. The racks on each side (and the back) swing out for loading.

I use my garden tractor.

Edit* Just noticed my sidekick was riding shotgun...

For the last several years in my own woods.

It also plows the drive way clean.

[Cbird14]

Neat idea! However, it would have been more impressive if you were cooking them on an exhaust manifold! :hmm3grin2orange:

I haven't loaded or unloaded wood from a truck in over 7 years. I drag it to my 21 year old outside furnace, cut it and use it. I don't bother to make a pile anymore.

Later
