I moved a bale of hay for dad... what a friggen nightmare....the way he has been moving bales before has knee replacement is with a beat up
H farmall, i backed up, spiked the bale and found out the front wheels wont stay on the ground! he wheelies it an 1/8 mile to the cow lot!
so i used the brakes to turn it most of the way in, one bump and the nose was in the air. then the stupid hand fed cows will fight you to get out the gate
they arnt scared of anything....last year the big black one chaised me when I was trying to fell a tree.......

No problem. I had it easy, just plucked rounds from the bucking trailer & placed them on the splitter. Lots of help made it go very well.

Did you get to play on the Vermeer or do much cutting?

Yes a little on Vermeer. cut a couple rounds of logs on the trailer. I really enjoyed running the super splitter.

Two more days of students, and half a day of blah blah, and I am out for the summer! Gonna get some saws ready to sell, set up the stove in the basement, build a shed and a chicken house, play dad, and decompress from a difficult year! Hope to see some of you guys somewhere this summer.

Coby that reminded me a few years ago I had an old Chevy 3/4 ton pickup-up. My boy 16 at the time was moving hay with it ,about 5 miles.He kept telling me ,those are really heavy, I said just go slow.Well one day he came in with a bale and said dad these bales are really heave, yes I know just go slow. He said come here he grabs the front tire and just turns it full left,full right,then said Dad they are really heavy.I said Chad don't tell this to your mom.

Looks like it would be easy to maneuver. As long as it works price is good.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Good day to every one.

As Hedge said, "400 is cheap for any splitter..."

Low to the ground can be fixed. Get it up to waist height & add an out feed table to start. Your back will thank you. There are lots of options for lifting larger rounds: Noodle, ramp, davit arm, log lift, ...

If you plan on towing it, when you raise the height, widen the wheel base & make sure the tires/axle is rated for highway speeds.

I love these Craigslist people who have contingencies attached to their "free" firewood.


"I have a Tree next to my house I want cut down. You remove it Safely with no damage & you keep all the fire wood."

"I have about 12 oak trees that I need removed. If you cut them down and leave no stumps above ground level you may have the wood but you must take it all and leave no debris. I am not offering any cash payment for this transaction."
