It was a slow day, I was bored, so I set up for some pics of the equipment that goes out with me.
All the stuff on the tailgate rides in the bed on the way out.
Never measured it, but there is 150' or more of cable in various lengths, 2 chains, 3 snachblocks. I used each and every one last year and a couple times came close to using the entire batch in one set-up.
Contents of the tool box. Not heavy on tools as I don't try to fix anythign except simple stuff out there. File, small screwdriver, spare shackle and clip, 2 24" chains, 1 20" and 1 16" chain. I forgot to show the 25" bar for the 310. Dunno where they get that 25" from, a 24" loop from my old 041 matches perfect with the one marked 25".
And the old fart that runs all that.
Now what is missing: Good first aid kit. I have a small one in the cab and a couple Kotex but that's about it. Other than scraped knuckles, barked shins and the like I have never needed anything out of the kit. What did bleed wasn't bad enough to do anything aobut out there.
The equipment is a gradual accumulation over 30 years. Two things I wish I had, and if I were starting out I would pinch pennies to add them right at the start.
1. Pickaroon.
2. Winch!! A good one!!
Almost forgot the stuff I use at home:
The 4-wheel moves the wood from those piles into the porch and woodshed. It is narrow enough to go through the door.
The big homemade one moves stuff around while I am working on splitting/stacking.
