Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[Fred Wright]

Today's load of slab wood. The stack grows as the seasoned stuff in front gets used. Got a pile of pieces that need split & a handful of longies that need cut. That's a project for another day.

No shortage of oak. It's been raining right smart over the holidays and the ground at the sawmill looks like a freshly plowed field. The muddy ground is probably keeping most woods scroungers away. The mill loader has left deep ruts all through there. Man, that place is pigged up bad. Can't get in or out without a 4X4.

Finally got everything cut to length and a small start on getting it split to manageable sizes. View attachment 475317

My sauna stove would love that stuff.

This was pulled out of Mille Lacs lake this fall. This is where I grew up and live. 57" caught on a fly.

Thats a beauty.

That's a pig. And even more of a trophy to get it on a fly.

Yeah, I have a hard time even getting a fly on the hook.

I think it was around $3400. I bought it over a year ago and have just recently got to use it. Cycle time isn't the fastest but my back sure feels better at the end of the day. I have to contact them and find out if I can run it on high-flow. That would speed it up a bit, just not sure if it'll damage anything since there isn't a case drain.

Husqvarna 65 and some ripping chain. Solving the "I can't lift it and the splitter won't split it" problem. Some of these big ones even eject a wedge.

Still 3 or 4 cord to split but making progress.

And at least from the top, a beauty of a 65.

Refilled my rack this afternoon.

@svk those look like some big splits. Is that typical?

Indoor boiler. Fireplace sized splits burn way too fast in there.

Did you rip that round (from the end) instead of noodling it (from the side)?

Yep, just went in like a mobile wood splitter.

Wow, you change your avatar a lot, I don't think you had this one earlier today.

If you don't release a Muskie you will be burned at the stake.

I hate all fishing except for ice fishing, but saw this the other day thought it was hilarious



this is the rest that, that clip is from

Brian, try noodling instead of cutting like you did. I think that is what Philbert was getting at too. Noodling takes less work than end cutting.

Well I just Pm'd spike60 for a price on a 562. That's the first step of rationalization. Then I can mull it over for a few months before finally pulling the trigger.

I dunno man..supposedly the new 70 cc whatever autotune might be coming out then....allegedly..rumors..have..rumors...whatever. The guys who have been doing the top secret testing seem to think it might be quite the winner...

Got it. I will try it that way on the next one. There are still some chunks of that big pig in the rounds pile.

Tree monkeyed 562 is the angriest saw I've ever run. I'll take my chances as whatever comes out next may certainly have some teething problems.
