Mostly oak. Some Ash and soft maple limbs. Should get some more logs next week with the drier weather. All are cut to about 10 to 14 ft in length. There is one 20" ID walnut trunk out of my yard.

where are we splitting back in the tree lot or up on the pad/gravel? Guessing on the pad?

The smurfs will be with me in full force. Do I need to bring the splitter? It's nothing special just a Honda 5hp from Northern but it gets the job done. No racks or lift to get in the way either.

Thinking the back lot in the tree nursery. That is were the logs are now. I have opened up a pretty large area for the bucking trailer, splitters and dump trailers. Final setup will depend on wind direction. To keep the wood chips away from drifting onto the splitter operators. Hard to say about splitters because I don't know what everyone has. I have the super split. Alex has a very nice multi wedge monster hydro splitter. The ideal setup is two super splits and two bad ass hydro splitters. Then pull the dump trailers next to the splitters for easy tossing of splits. Current forecast is for sunny and high of 72 with SSE wind at 6 mph but the forecast was for rain two days ago.

ok. Not hard for me to tow it along just in case...

 

[sam-tip]

Sounds good. We got plenty of room to park.

Two weeks from today! YIPPEE!! How's this sound for lunch on that day? Ham & turkey sandwiches, chips, baked beans, cookies & brownies? I'll get something together for breakfast Saturday morning, too!

Mo Jim, are you going to be able to make it up here on the 17th?

 

[Oliver1655]

If so he will have put some major hours/miles on the road traveling over a month's period.

Last I heard he was going to try to make the spring fest in Cabool, Mo this coming weekend. Awol & his family are very active participants in this activity. There will be chainsaw racing for fun Saturday, early afternoon. No fee, plaques/ribbons for prizes. This will be a great opportunity to try your hand a chainsaw racing. If you don't have a saw to race, I believe there will be loaner saws available.

Alas, I won't be able to make it down there. But I WILL BE at the Waukee, Ia. charity cut the following weekend! After that my traveling to chainsaw events will take a break until this fall so I can get stuff done at home. At least that is my intention. Never know what God has planned.
