Wood cracking 2014 with a REALLY big Ahlbach wood cracker. 640 hp 8-cylinder Diesel engine! There were over 50 m³ cracked in about one hour.

Mice have chipped the expensive canopy we put over the firewood.

Very nice thread, of course it's been said a lot but very nice pictures. I have to do some work myself to different portions of my woodlot which is 70 acres. I was out there yesterday getting started clearing and thinning a future Sugar Bush ( a place to make maple syrup), I was wondering if I had the energy to make a thread of my progress. I have given this a lot of thought and I can see you took a bunch of time to put this together. I am not sure if I will do the same or if I am too lazy, but in any case thanks for taking the time to document your work it is very interesting.
