Very cool Randy, you are indeed a good dude. I am going in for hernia surgery on the 16th, I just scheduled it yesterday. I told the doctor it had to wait till after the 6th. I will work as hard as I can but I should probably take it a little easy, I usually over do it. I would like to come help this Saturday but I am just trying to take things easy. Hope you all have a good thanksgiving.

You could sit in a skid loader to save yourself. Plus it will be handy to have a good operator

Do please take it easy Andy. One of my brothers has had a hell of a time over hernias.

Doug do you know for sure what your bringing up with you?
Doing a practice run tomorrow at 6 am. I already have loaded two super split log splitters, Toolcat with powered rotating log grapple attachment and a log cutting stand in the trailer. Plus a receiver hitch attachment for moving splitters and trailers. Can't get much more in trailer. Could put something in the back of truck but what?
How big of a bar should I bring on my husky 3120. 36, 44 or 60 inch. I also have 20 and 25 in 404 but my stihl bar adapter doesn't fit my 3120. Bar mount bolt spacing is different on largest saw.
Oh also a small 2k generator to warm up the engine on the Toolcat. Plus a few choker chains and portable gas powered capstan winch for just incase

I'd never survive.......I have a heater in the shop see......and well.

more saws than I need
I would think the 36" bat would be good. I think all the trees are under 20" but we will know more after Saturday. I know Chris said there was a big one out there though. Between your toolcat, one skid steer and maybe using the log truck we will be good. And the ten splitters and bucking trailer.

Ok.. Andy will bring me a saw with heated handles..
I got an ace in the hole though..
I got the fan wheel on the splitter blowing warm air on me all the time..
So I'm all good...

If the road conditions stay good I could bring my bobcat with grapple. It has a heated cab.

Tomorrow is looking like a nice day, 37 for a high. If anyone close wants to help we will be at the shop at 9:30.
I hear ya, I towed my old Bobcat around last winter plowing people out being a good samaritan. Even going straight to the carwash the salt is just brutal on the trailer and the Bobcat.
Never got over 6 degrees yesterday and handling these timbers (notched with the 031) and digging holes I still worked without a jacket. Our cold Midwest days are usually the nicest. You southerners might find out you are all worked up over nothing[emoji2]
