Yeah I plan to get another ten cords next week so I'll probably be taking pictures throughout the week! I've been trying to really get the wood out before it starts thawing for spring.

Smart man to get all you can get out, now. Got one of these?

Nope I'm to young for that stuff haha. I use a telehandler to pull trees out then I cut them into logs and stack em up

I always thought a tele would be a great machine in the woods - near skidloader versatility and maneuverablilty, with power and traction more tractor like. Guessing (other than cost) that the disadvantages are that they're not "armored" for rough terrain use very well? The one we used at work last winter for an outdoor forklift/snow removal had a lot of stuff hanging where I wouldn't want it out in the woods. It was a Genie - http://www.genielift.com/en/product...andlers/compact-telehandler/gth5519/index.htm

What do you have and what are the good/bads of it? I'm up close to Andydodgegeek btw, just NE of the Twin Cities a bit, and on the RIGHT side of the St Croix!!!

We run a Manitou like this http://static.mascus.com/image/product/large/bfb446e1/manitou-mht-780-t,87ae353c.jpg
Honestly I can't think of anything to complain about with manitou. They have a nice skidplate underneath, can pull a 70 foot tree through 3 feet of snow, and can stack piles higher then a skidsteer. They are very strong for their size and with good tires can go through 2-3 feet of snow with ease. The only thing we watch for is what we're running over so we don't pop a tire and the price tag is a little high but is well worth it.

No Steve. No! Noooooooooo! We want her back. This isn't the only time you are going to hear it, too. The new ones are plentiful, but much too small. Completely UN-patriotic.

What's the old song say, "You can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself". Just consider this "celebrating diversity" (insert foghorn sound here), although it could use a couple more redheads.

Welcome! Please send your AS dues directly to my home address. And some of the rest of you are behind on your payments as well.....

WELCOME, now if you really want to fit in, you'll deliver a stack of logs like pictured to every member on this site.

 

[Holtby]

Welcome aboard..that pile looks ready for my buzz saw

 

[Dirtboy]

Nice pile of logs you got there. With all this snow we got I'm wondering if I will ever make it out to start gathering. I cant even see my piles of rounds that are waiting to be split-they are buried. Welcome to the rediscovered site, it keeps me entertained while I wait for a thaw.

That is a pretty slick machine there.
