I would guess that day in and day out, in cooler weather, and at our ages (mid to late fifties) we could produce one cord per man per day and still be able to function the next day. I'm not saying I couldn't do 2 cords in a long day, but the next day I'd be living on Aleve :messed:
I agree with you! Around here I figure that I could get a truck, cut a cord, haul it back, dump it, split it, reload it (no tractor:weep
, and deliver it. I could possibly do two, but that would be a LONG day.
The current method is to cut and block in the woods, drop the blocks in the yard and split when time allows. load and deliver when needed. Alternative is that I get a few tandem loads of logs delivered, easier and faster to process.
With a couple of guys helping last year I moved 200 cords.
My suggestions??
Give it time. Build upon it gradually. The splitters could sprout larger pumps and motors when things wear out. I don't think I would even try with the 025's Get a serious saw. later on, get another one.
Chomper would be nice, but when $$ are available. Send one my way.
a 1 ton dump truck is really nice.
