Tom, Is that Black Locust I see there too ? You Lucky Dog !
Had some heavy rains in Ohio yesterday, so we had a delay at golf league. Clubhouse time led to wood conversations. Ended up leaving with three phone numbers and a great start on free wood for years to come.
Love the pictures guys. TomTrees, just wow. Awesome man

so much easier, it will keep 2-3 people busy just keeping wood to it
The racks are 4'x4'x6' tall. I process 1/2 cord at a time, cut, split, stack, which takes me about 2 1/2 hours, or 5 hours per cord, sometimes a little more, working by myself. Have run five cord through the SuperSplit HD so far. Sweet! Very little junk from splitting. My son Spencer helping dad on his day off. He cut, split, and loaded the log deck. I stacked when he wasn't splitting. Went out for breakfast and made a fun morning of it. 
Very nice set up you have there Crane. It looks like you have taken a lot of the "back work" out of processing. SLICK!

Didnt take too many pics this weekend. I was mostly cutting deadfall around the pond, as opposed to cutting for firewood. Pond is finally clear though. Got 2 loads of firewood, probably wont split it till the fall as the bugs are just brutal now. Next weekend Ill probably have to start mowing.
Yes, little back work. Still quite slow compared to Tomtrees58 cord an hour. It takes time to load the deck, cut, and stage , about forty five minutes to an hour for a half cord. Splitting is the same, as is stacking. I would like to make/use stackable boxes for 1/2 cord loose thrown off the conveyor and eliminate stacking, which is 1/3 of the time to do a cord. Have material for prototype box, but not a good design or source of affordable rough sawn to make it happen yet. Boxes are kind of on back burner. Another rub is emptying the boxes. I have a forklift, so the forks don't roll for dumping like a loader/skidsteer/tractor. Stacking is okay for now, pull the earplugs out and take a break from the equipment noise. On the plus side of stacking, I know how much is there and how long it takes.
Firewood delivery yesterday from @oneoldgeezer. 
Actually he doesn't call it cutting firewood - he calls it logging. He brings it in 20' logs and I take it from there. This may be the biggest load yet at somewhere around 3 full cord with a good share of Ash, some Oak, Yellow Birch, and of course a little bit of mystery wood.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Trying to get a bit of North America colour here down under. Love this time of year here. This shot from the deck, 5 mins ago. Another 10 years and it should be getting close to what's in my head. Maples, Ambers, red oaks, etc.
Several guys liked the photos in post #3879, which is the result of several years of trying different ideas and things (since I started buying logs by the truck load), most all of them borrowed, many from guys on this site. I had bought four loads over the last four years. During that time I used the same almost 30 year old SpeeCo. splitter that we split three to four cord a year with to heat the house. Trusty but very slow. This spring, after many seasons of "I wish I had...", or "I wish I could...", I added a SuperSplit. Love it! Anyway, earlier this spring I had ordered two 20 cord loads, and they pulled in... together! Each truck is six axles, five behind the cab, and pulls a five axle pup. The grapple is mounted on the rear of the truck, centered between the 20 cord load. They unloaded off opposite sides from each other because of access with the trees and shed.
