Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[mr.finn]

Mr. Finn, that's amazing!! I wonder how your "Robush" found it's way clear up to your area??
Millhousen, IN. is where my mother in law comes from/lives. The county south of me. A rural community of maybe a dozen homes, German Catholics most of 'em.
I can't think of the guys name who built those. My brother in law has done some computer work for him.
Here's hoping you get many more years of service from yours.

I will ask my dad and find out. Not sure I would ever see another one. That thing sure has split a lot of wood over the years. I love the wedge height and wings off the I beam. Never met a piece of wood it wouldn't split. After getting a SS I still keep it around to bust up the really big ones to a more manageable size.

Very nice, looks like you put a lot of thought into that project.

here's a few pics of the spring clean up before the cutting and hauling begins. also here,s what I started today expecting to get the truck into the woods , but the mud says otherwise! had a total of 40 trees to knock over but only managed to fell about 32 of them... man is it wet ! finish the rest tomorrow and try to take a few wheeler loads home .

This is this last weekend. 80 degrees. You can see how thick the Hammock is.

The beam height is 30 inches, so I made a table out of trunk stems and some old plywood I had laying about. I aint bending over. Pedro holds timber nicely, loads rounds onto the log deck as well as full lengths.

Stacking up wood from this springs removals. Just need to order my splitter, so I can stop renting, and get it split up.

That's either big wood or a very small skidloader.

Both Doll, Its a Cat/ASV RC-30, 48" wide, and a 24 inch Chestnut Oak. The 25" bar and the 65" short guy just make the log look bigger.

4'x4'x8' = 128cuft which is a cord
7'x12'x1.75' = 147cuft so you have more

Some pics from this afternoon. It was finally a nice day for a tractor drive - my splitter and M Farmall have been over at little bro's place all winter. I got it home and split up the small oak I dragged up a couple weeks ago.

Still got a bunch of oak, locust, and maple to split, and going for more in the morning. I ran out of ambition after Easter dinner for some reason...

Looks like you are finally getting some nice, warmer weather there, Steve. And snow is gone!!!!!!

Yep, just a couple small piles where I had it stacked loader-high all winter. I expect the guy that rents my land will be over by the end of the week. My ground dries a lot faster than most of his that's heavy clay.

The rest of the locust I'm going after may or may not be truck accessible tomorrow. If not, I'll just pile it up there and come back for it when the ground dries out. Don't wanna rut up my friend's yard.

Couldn't have asked for a nicer Easter Sunday here. Nice, foggy start to the day just seemed right, then the sun came out, and no wind to speak of.

Cruising the back roads on the M at 14 miles an hour was enjoyable too, except for the 1/2 mile stretch by my brother's that felt like I was riding a Brahma bull. Man that road needs help!

Only got a little spit for next year. Have about 10 cord waiting to get split now.
