I'm done stacking!

[Joesell]

I've been stacking wood inside totes for the last couple years. I didn't have enough totes, so I needed to get as much into each one as I could. I would stack it tight and get them about 6' high. Stacking was the one thing that slowed the whole operation down.

I can across the mother load of totes yesterday, so I thought I would try something else. I lined up 3 totes side by side and scooped up bucket fulls with my skidder. After each dump I would shake the tote a little with the bucket. While it's not a tight stack like I'm used to, it looks pretty damn good! Now it takes under 10 min to fill 3 totes. All from the comfort of the seat. I wish I would've done it this way from the beginning.

That is what you guys call totes. Where in the love of God do you find those. They are sweet!

 

[Hedgerow]

I get em' from the plant I work at, and bulk roundup containers... "Bulk industrial Liquids are transported in them".
The supply is just real slow building is all...
I need a bunch of em'..

Can you fit a face cord in them if stacked?

 

[mainewoods]

Them cookie's look delicious, Hedgerow!

They're 42" x 48" x48"... So sure, but if ya just toss em' in it's a whole lot faster, with air between them... And like joesell says, you can shake em' and I'll bet they'll hold 1/3 cord loose...

Them cookie's look delicious, Hedgerow!

Look good...
Taste bad...

I'm the plant Manager.... But yes, there is one other fella that wanted a couple too... Not that many firewood hoarders here...

I see some on cl by me for $35 could some hinges be welded on so one side could be opened? It would work good for loading a face cord in my truck for delivery.

 

[066blaster]

Are they steel or aluminum?

 

[Hedgerow]

Are they steel or aluminum?

Thin tube steel...
Welded? possibly, yes.. I've not taken the welder to them yet though..

 

[Joesell]

Galvanized tubing, welded. When I used to stack, I would pile it 6' high. I could get over 1/2 a cord in each one. Even dumping in loose, it's easily over a face cord

I was getting them for about $25 each before. I just found my new hook up and the price can't be beat. FREE, as long as I can come get them asap. I told him, "that's no problem, I'll be right there." He has 60 right now, and more to come.

Tote box suckage!!!!!

Got my 1st load of 21 today. Turns out they aren't free, but cheap enough that I don't mind buying all of them. Should have them all by the end of next week.

 

[Joesell]

Got my second load today. I was able to stack them a little tighter and we got 25 on this load!

Plus an added bonus. They had about 100 heavy duty rolling garbage cans that the city of Milwaukee uses. I scored 3 of them for the house. Let's see if my retarded garbage guy can trash these.
