Next Saturday, March 15th at Carthage, Mo. It's on my calendar. Just get me an address & starting time. I'll be more than happy to have help breaking in the log bucking trailer.:chainsaw: It fits behind the splitter well. :chop:Will there be trailer to throw the splits on?
 
Well, weather is not cooperating today to go check out Mansfield but will be going tomorrow. Once I can get the logistics nailed down and a firm date I'll let everyone know.
Thanks guys,
Steve

We'll just split em into the bucket of the skid steer and he can go pile em in the barn of his choice.. Unless he just wants to make a big pile outside..
 
Holy Cow! Holy Cow! HOLY COW! Charity Cut 4 is going to be April 5th just south of Mansfield Mo. The land owner has been having a logging operation here since last September. He wasn't kidding when he said they have cut between 7000-10000 trees out of this place. And they haven't even made a dent in it yet.
So, here is the plan of action. The wood is easy to get to, drive right up to the vast majority. We are going to concentrate on just cutting, splitting and stacking right now. The idea is to get a MONSTER pile of wood, then about July we are going to pull an 18 wheeler in there and load it. Actually, we want to get enough processed to load several 18 wheelers. I'm going to take a couple of vacation days the Thursday and Friday before the 5th and camp there to get things ready and stay Saturday night too.
Charity Cut 5 will be on May 3rd. Same plan of action.
Right now trailers are not needed, nor UTV's.
Oliver1655, this will be a great place to use your log bucking trailer. We have use of the landowners Kubota tractor 4wheel drive with forks on the front to load logs with.
If you guy's are game, we'll make this a two day affair. There is a spot with electricity and water available, so hot coffee is not out of the question.
So, that's the general plan. What we are looking at is getting a jump start on next years wood supply.
The down side is, with the ground wet things are on the sloppy side, so its pretty much 4 wheel drive getting up to the wood, which is the last leg of driving back to the wood. The good side is 90% of the drive back to the wood is gravel road or on the level dirt road.
Just list here if you want to come and I'll pm directions. Looks like we will be at this place for a few years.
Again, thanks for all the help, guys.
Steve

I'm in, can come on Friday as well.

This would be a great time for a dump bed trailer/truck or two to move the splits away from the splitters.

Oliver, let's camp buddy!
I know another guy that has a flat bed Dodge with a dump bed. I've just got to help him get it working. If anyone has a dump trailer, that would be great!
 
We will have to get a system worked out this Saturday. Should be able to keep 2 splitters busy as long as the loader can keep the saw operators supplied. :rock:
