Still cutting firewood.

Got a little extra help yesterday. Our son has Mondays off, and he came up and between the two of us we blocked all the logs I had skidded out to the landings. I have around 6 cord blocked and ready for splitting. that should pretty well finish filling the woodshed.
I split and loaded another load today. A bit over 1 cord per load.
The ginpole on the splitter with 2500# winch works great to pull logs from the log pile and set them on blocks off the ground to saw. The front of the 431 liked to lift on the hard pulls, but was much stabler than the Kubota B2150 that I had been using on the splitter, when lifting off to the side with the gin pole.

Very nice wood operation, but you have to tell me how you get the wood stacked on the trailer like that from the loader, and where I can get one of those chainsaw log length guides. I would pay big bucks for one of those! 🤑

All kidding aside, very nice, but you make me realize how far behind I am on my wood piles, but my lake dig is going great!
 
LOL, we have what we call "wood ticks" here. Thats what we call the people that follow us around picking up the wood from the trees we cut at work in winter along the roads. At least it's getting used. I think they can smell 2 cycle oil burning from miles away it seems lol.
 
Better get that done; it snowed in Red Lodge, Montana last night. They closed the pass so must have had quite an accumulation on the mountain. That is one of my favorite areas in Montana - when it isn't snowing.
 
Really looks good. Gonna have to wait here till it cools down another 20 degrees before I start that.
Still got a bunch of black locust that the tornado took down several years ago.

You guys with a lot of trees make me so jealous! Here where I am in Mich we have few around me and I have to scrounge what I can and end up with some ugly big stuff. It makes me mad when I see the tree services take down many trees in town and take it to the city dump not allowing anyone to take any.
 
Odd that your city dump won't allow anyone to take any. Only reason I can think of is liability if someone is injured. Locally the "dump" is glad if people haul it away. It's expensive for the county to hire the huge grinder to make logs into mulch.
 
I started last week. The loggers cut grade hardwood out of mine last fall and I told them any trees they damaged to cut and leave lay. I dragged up a couple pulp cords last week and I brought 4 or 5 more up yesterday. Never had cutting in the woods so easy. Make one ciut on each one stack in a pile and hook on tree length and drag out. Probl 15 more cords to get out yet. Nice dry maple. Has anyone else noticed the maples dying off. I have an area where the loggers did not go and the trees have big cracks in the bark and are dead or almost dead
 
The fleet certainly looks good, nice to see the photos here and the case forum. The weather has been ideal again for this kind of work. I'll get to mine soon enough, job is keeping me very busy, just got home. I was able to get out after work yesterday, bugs and heat/humidity finally gone, sure makes this work so much easier. Bet you earned a couple cold ones today :) !
 
A guy asked an old Indian what kind of winter was it going to be the Indian responded long and cold. Pursuing the subject the guy asked how do you know what it's going to be like is it insects, animals, moon signs maybe last year's weather? To each question the answer was no frustrated the guy asked well how do you know? The answer was white man has big wood pile
 
We are having a problem with maple dieing off here. Had Cornell CE in 2 years back. there is a small moth about the size of a dime that in the early summer lays eggs on the underside of the new leaves, and the larva eats the leaves down to the veins to develop. There is a couple of weeks when if you walk in the woods you are engulfed by clouds of them They said there was nothing that could be done other than arial spraying, and that would endanger all insects. They wern't near as bad this spring/summer, but the damage has taken it's toll.

I have a micro processor built into the system. It locates and places split firewood in an orderly fashion on the trailer, above the racks, but I have to shut off the splitter and take a break when this happens. HeHe
Other years I have used the big tandem dump trailer from the farm, but they are using it quite regularly this summer so I'm using my small one. This winter I will build me a bigger one to carry the same amount without having to stack the top.

Ha! our wood trailers are old clapped out manure spreaders. Lol! Only problem is that apron chain type manure spreaders are a thing of the past. I do have several sets of old truck axles laying around for future use. I am "thinking" about starting fire wood in a day or so, too. But "thinking" about it has me plum wore out!
