Started feeding this new splitter a bit more. Starting to get the hang of my new process splitting right into the skid steer bucket.

yes 9n that was my grandfathers and I did a valve job and gave it some paint.
Nice Job, restoring the tractor. I love the old iron. Motorcycles, trucks, tractors, etc. Keeping alive a little piece of history.

Ronaldo, How do you like the front end splitter on the bobcat? I have one i use all the time. Luke44 degrees this morning. Good morning to tackle the big logs. A borrowed skid steer and splitter made these big & heavy Oak, Hackberry and Cottonwood way more manageable. A 288Xp handled the bucking.

Looks like the fender finally fell off. I wish I had a trailer that big.
Out of interest, are you anywhere near Stratton Mtn in Vt? I competed in a ski race there once, prolly Dec 1994.

Yes Sir, A mere 9 minute drive to the sun bowl chair. I own a fertilization biz in ct. I work till Nov 15 th then head north till Apr 15th. Life is good.
Nice! I didn't do very well in that race as it turned out, bit of an off day. Nice area though.
It works very well, especially on big heavy rounds that would be difficult to lift or move around to a conventional splitter.

I have 5 cubes of red and grey box stacked on the lower level (that's English oak on the higher row) and a further 4 cubes of yellow box on various parts of the property (2.5 full cord all up), in addition to what is in the shed already. Much denser stuff than what we have locally and a 40 mile drive one way to get (or $21 fuel return).
I don't really need more, but I find myself compelled to go back.
You know why.
Because it's there.

Some nice looking wood in the pile as well as the stacks
.Send that frost down here, supposed to be 40 in the morning, Lake Michigan is buffering us from it getting any cooler.
Moving the ash on the porch for this year why handle it twice. The only wood that's dry in the pile.Some nice looking wood in the pile as well as the stacks

I like that idea and agree
.Once the ground is froze solid I like to cut the dead standing black locust. I'll take the tractor out, cut split(a few pieces) and load the bucket and then it goes right from the bucket to the wood rack inside the house the larger stuff I stand up around the stove to wait for it to dry just a bit. The larger rounds work great for all night burns in late Jan, and it gives me a little exercise to which is nice.
