So we good on splitters??
All we need is bodies??
Yes???

I was told we are good on splitters. We will see. I think there are at least 4 splitters (maybe 5). It all depends on the type of splitters and the # of people operating them.

Heep little fingers away! Fellas...........

My splitter is just the run of the mill Husky splitter. Nothing fancy and not too fast. If someone has a better one then bring it and tell me to leave mine at home. You won't hurt my feelings unless you tell me I can't eat. You will probably tell me I eat too much but I'm OK with that.

I never did ask..
What type of cutting will we be doing?
Scrounge and haul? Or log processing?

I do know some trees have already been dropped and brought to a site for processing. I don't know how many. I don't know if more trees will need to be dropped or not. There is going to be plenty of equipment there to get it done.

Hopefully Gritz or Jetmd will chime in and give you a better idea.

Well, jetmd helped me get my helper springs on today. Thanks again! Now I just need to toss a load of wood in there to see what difference it makes.

This is something I want to do to my f250. My 88 Dodge has a suspension lift and is pretty stout, even with a load of green Osage.

 

[jetmd]

To best describe it should be a little of everything, a little felling, bucking, some grab and drag out to process.

It will probably work best if we have the splitters set up in different sections and buck, split and just pile up.

The reason being there is a lot of moisture in the ground and as soon as it warms up and the sun comes out it
get real greasy. That way when it dry's out when can load the split wood and go deliver. Or we can load while
the ground is still frozen.

We should have enough splitters, provided they all can make it....as I know stuff can come up.

We will be spread out as some work needs to be done in several different spots.

Hope this make sense?

Good move. Keep peace in the valley.

Try to fire up Fat Alice and the big Homie tomorrow. The Stihls and J-Red were just run the other day.

 

[gritz]

Picked up a menagerie of handheld power equipment today. Got some ms250 parts, a husky 240, husky 576xp crankcase, a Stihl drill and a Honda spike/post driver. Got the 240 running using parts from a 235 I had. Been a pretty productive day.

And, I just discovered the Echo 3000 rings are 37mm and CS341 are 39mm. Which means I have more shopping to do.

It's a little early to tell, but I hauled a load of locust/ash on Monday and it squatted about 1/2" less than when I hauled the load of mulberry. It did seem like it didn't bounce around as much and felt a little more stable going down the road. For $100, I'd say they were worth the $100 I spent on them. There's still room for me to tighten them down a little more if I needed to as well.
