And it's dry enough now that I can get back into the woods!
As most of you know, we were hit by a tornado last fall and I bought a Wallenstein skidding winch to help get tree's/logs out. It's been a GREAT purchase and works out VERY well to make my "mess" of a job a lot easier!
So, I get the tractor set up to get my best pulls and my helper starts limbing the down tree's, soon it's time for me to get started pulling those stems out,
and keep pulling them out to along side my wagon, until I have a decent pile there,
Soon it's time for me to grapple the stems (with any butt logs sawn off) and lift them over the wagon, while my helper cuts the remainder of the stems into firewood lengths,
Once the wagon if full, I back the tractor up and hook the wagon to the hitch on the winch,
and pull the load closer to my house, where I can drive along side it with my new Timber Wolf TW3HD,
This splitter is an absolute BEAST! It's fast and has the power to push everything right through the 4-way wedge, stringy oak crotches or anything else! Anyway, I got started splitting the wagon load,
And soon, I had my wagon load all split, and the wagon ready to go out for another load!
One of these days, i'll mill the butt logs I have pileing up, into some boxes to hold the firewood! Then when the splits are dry, they will be easy to move to the house with the tractor...
