Well everyone else post pics so its my turn. Had a little time today so I went around cutting a few standing dead red oak and a maple all about 8-10" nonthing major. All on my own property.
First my wood hauler/plow truck/skider/bulldozer.
1983 F-250 80,000mi 351W 4 speed manual w/ granny 1st gear no brakes power steering kinda works both rear leaf spring hangers rotted and broke leaks gas if you put more then 5 gal at a time in. Not a soild piece of metal on the whole truck. This truck owes me nonthing a got it about 5 years ago from a condo coplex it was there main plow and sand truck. When I got it she didnt run draged it home no spark put a coil in it fired right up thats all ive done to it. The best part it was free with the plow.
The days take not much will last about 2 weeks we only burn nights and weekends. All red oak with a little maple from a top that broke out awhile ago. Also the 345 and maul posing.
A very small start to next years pile the rest of the Maple that was still standing. I have about 10 cords of swamp maple at a friends house from a take down about 2 months ago we are going to split that 5 cords each and that will be a job for his supper splitter
We still have to go and drop the rest of the trunk which is 48"+ at DBH and about 10 foot tall we are thing there is at least 2 more cords there.
and the result straight from the stump to the stove.
