Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Hay sucks. You have to clean it up in the spring.

I was thinking it would be better than the alturdnative.

View attachment 478389 As I stacked these rounds against the fence this summer, I thought that maybe I'd split them in the winter when I wasn't cutting. There are rounds stacked there, honest to god! I think I'm done for the season.

I don't think I've seen rounds used as a snow fence before.

Will you be reusing the metal

Lmao!

There's no shortage of great ideas here, both of what not to do and what to do
You up early today, or late oldman47.

Lmao!

Like it says in my signature, I may be slow, but I'm not stupid.

I am not opposed to signatures - but some guys have huge photo files to scroll through. You can still look up their signature in their profile (Information tab), if you want to check on which saws they have, etc.

I like that.
I have always said we have a choice, growth or decay, nothing else.

Well, it is a matter of what sucks worse, clean up some hay, or not have the use of the septic from being frozen? I don't know any other way to deal with it when the frost zone is deep and it still might freeze with no snow cover.

No, us craigs list sellers gotta watch out for AS buyers

In a typical winter how deep does your ground freeze? The record depth here is 2 feet (1977) and the spring thaw was terrible. Some of the county/rock roads were unusable for a couple weeks. A 4WD truck would bury to the axles in the mud. Maybe you have much different soils or rock mixed in.

+1, and I feel thats the definition of how we do it.
I give you permission to use it if you'd like

Got my new chainsaw from cl today. Guy did say it "cranks" right up every time!View attachment 478406

I don't see any manual or auto oiler What's up with that

 

[crazywolf]

Headed to Pittsburgh this weekend. Looks like the only way I will see snow for awhile. We tend to get rain or cold weather but not together LOL

I watched a tree service limb a bunch of trees around my office building today. Some of the ash limbs were definitely "zogger plus" sized but all cut in different lengths (true tree service form LOL). They chipped every last bit of it.

 

[Philbert]

If you are planning on chipping them, they don't need to be pretty or uniform.

I know, it's just funny that regardless the destination, tree service wood will never be the same length twice.

 

[chipper1]

Ok guys finally made it out to get that tree on the trail.
Got the lower section all cut, split up, and in the wheel barrow brought it to the neighbors(it was on our property line), and he said thanks but you can have it lol.
Brought it to my other neighbor who said the same thing, I was like just take it and he said ok, crazy I'm having a hard time giving firewood away.
I got another wheel barrow load and a full bucket out of it, total about 4 heaping wheel barrows.
There's about 35 cuts in the long piece and it only took 8min to cut with the MS310 I'm selling, not bad for a ranch saw, but I'm sure I could have saved a minute if I would have been using a pro saw

When I do storm clean-up, I don't worry much about size of the pieces I make, except that they usually have a maximum length of 4 feet or so. Cut it where it is easy, or to make it more compact for dragging or stacking. If I am scrounging the same wood, that is a different story!

Just scrounged up some chain for the big saw off amazon for cheap. That will keep me busy for awhile.

Unless I need to cut in dirty conditions I am never buying semi chisel again....seems like there is something wrong with the saw after you get used to chisel or square LOL.

Unless I cannot get chain for free I am never going to buy them again.... seems like there's something wrong paying for them after you get used to getting them free LOL.
