Finally got the oak to split up

[gemniii]

Well it's taken a LONG time for me to get to this point.
I bought the LT10 in August of '11.

It was delivered in December.

I set it up and tested it in late January.

Got to cut some more logs in March

Well the tractor is gone for a while so now I'm hand jamming it, and my first log WAS a 12' oak.
It is now:
A 6"x6"X11' and a bunch of boards

Which fit nicely in my minivan for transport across the yard.

I tell you, wrestling a 12', 20"+ oak when I'm armed only with a peavey tuckers me out.

So are you sleeping at night, or are you milling lumber in your dreams? Nice setup!

Nice to be able to mill out of the weather, but if I had a setup like that, I'd be running it at night, too, and miss out on some quality sleep time! Just take care with ventilation. If in doubt, might consider a CO detector. Does WM have an electric option? It'd be quieter, cheaper to run, and no fumes.
