That picture reminds me I have a cord of hedge at my parents that needs split. I have a DHT splitter to uncrate and assemble. Hopefully it'll prove a good machine.

Went and checked out a cut site 2 weeks ago to see what it would take to get tree tops cut into firewood. Pretty rough terrain to get anything conventionally. Sometimes I wish I had a tractor. Would make getting more stuff so much easier. Land owner asked to do it on shares, he gets 1\3 of the wood cut. He heats with wood but has COPD bad. Can no longer do things like getting wood anymore. Had to sell off a lot of things to pay Dr. bills, including his chainsaw. Really difficult to tell people you can't get their wood when you don't have equipment to move it out of the woods with. But he does have 3 trees easy to get to. Went down this morning with 4 other local volunteers and cut up 1 of the trees and gave all of it to him. About 5 loads worth to his house with some more split and ready to be picked up. Really nice man, I could sit and listen to him talk for hours. At least he will stay warm for a while. Then I'll go back down and cut him some more. Should be enough there to last him the winter.

Had to show the boys how to make a candle tonight

Malia keeps throwing shavings from the planer in it effectively turning it into a roman candle. Dozer the chainsaw dog digs those shavings though!

View attachment 374506 Hey Lewis, told ya the bay was all yours...

Is that your personal stash or is that wood for sale? How seasoned is it?

Closer to Springfield...
Just google Harald's small engines in Billing's MO
They got some old sexy stuff...

Harald's is only a couple miles from me! Rich is a great guy to work with and his wife knows parts like nobody's business!

I have a wood lot in town where I split, stack, and store my wood. Next door is a lawn care business. They do sprinkler systems, landscaping, the whole shebang. There is a big shop, which the owner lives in. He buys wood from me. The other day I pulled in with a load of oak, large pieces. He saw me and asked if I needed some help unloading. I said sure. I thought he was going to donate some manual labor. A couple minutes later he came over with a mini-excavator with a thumb. I didn't lift a single piece; just moved a piece every now and then so he could grab it easier. Heavy equipment is not overrated but it is expensive. Carry on...

Just how rough we talkin here??
I know one of us needs an excavator with a thumb on it...

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

A Mini with a thumb would be great. it seemed to work well loading the the log racks at Iowa charity cut. When you get yours Matt I will make a special trip to come and evaluate the operation of it.

 

[Hedgerow]

I'm sorta scared to know what they cost...

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Need to be sitting down when they tell you cause I'm sure Lisa ain't going to catch you.

 

[Hedgerow]

Brent should have this splitter done and ready for the gtg...

 

[Hedgerow]

Hey, does anyone have a set of log tongs they would want to sell??
I need one or 2...

 

[Hedgerow]
