On occasion, much more as I get older, I have to noodle the few logs I get over 14" or so.
This past week I brought home some logs from across the road. It was logged last fall, and the owners wanted the tops gone. People have been cutting continually since then, all winter as much as they could get in, and gang busters this spring. Pretty well cherry picked and cleaned up. Last week was nice, and as I processed my own wood I could count four trucks, three with trailers, each day, all day.
I walked over and talked with the owner, and a couple of the guys cutting. Some were leaving big stuff, as it was too much work. Some of it is still frozen to the ground.
One Beech at the edge of their yard was limbed and left. Still has the old yard light on it. Noodling that one today or tomorrow.
It is all going in the trailer and stacked in the pretty much empty wood shed.
That Polaris quad has hauled hundreds of tonnes of wood is past decade. One year alone fifty cord of green wood from conveyor piles to wood racks. I'm impressed. The SuperSplit is incredible as well. Really over the top.
