This is my area this year. Usually I split with the splitter pushing into the dump trailer so I don’t have to handle the wood again picking it up. But the dump trailer is in pieces at the moment so on the ground it goes for now.

This showed up today. Works good in the short amount of testing I have done with it. We will see....

Nice timber mate . What species is it ? How d you find your lucas mate ? Cheers

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Thanks. If memory serves me correctly, that was some old, dry Saligna. Love the Lucas because it works as it should. At first, it seems such a simple set-up but it's clear that simplicity has years of experience and clever thinking behind the design. They have largely resisted the frills and stick to a design and engineering that works today and will still be working in years to come. But the best thing about it, is the service from Lucas. They are without doubt the best business I have ever dealt with. After sales service isn't a marketing slogan. They take it seriously. I know they've got my back and after the nightmares with other machinery vendors I have experienced, owning a Lucas and experiencing their after sale service feels like coming home.

Good evening everyone,
This is some photos of a delivery of firewood from a few years ago that we turned into a short video, and posted on YouTube
Almost time for us to order some more for the next season...
All the best from Whitehorse, Yukon

A minor tale of woe:
A very nice Chestnut Oak and a typical Red Oak were both blown over during the TS no one could pronounce:
This one fell just past my last utility pole before my utilities go underground:
Red Oak brought down about half the limbs off a Tulip Poplar. It's stinking hot and humid here now, not the kind of weather I prefer to work in. So, when My Son-In-Law and Grandson volunteered to assist Saturday I took them up on it. Unfortunately, my SIL struck a mighty but glancing blow with the Fiskars on one of the blocks he was splitting. I guess fortunately, the blow caught the tire on my cart instead of anything that bleeds:
And, not to be outdone, I broke the chain tensioner pawl on my Dolmar 421 while limbing this mess in either a feat of tremendous strength, or tremendous stupidity:
And after a reasonable quest on the internet, I can't find one. I guess I'll have to try one of the used parts sites and probably have to buy half a saw.

I was able to find a Dolmar / Makita part on German eBay, that I could not find here, with the help of some AS members. Post a ‘Wanted’ ad in the Trading Post.

Thanks, I did, and perhaps even better than German eBay, I was directed to the chainsawr site. Which I had already searched. I couldn't find, but @hokiehunter did find it and posted a link for me. Order posted. Thanks to ArboristSite I expect to be sawing again with this 421 soon.

I am working on the 30 yd load of ends I got last month. Still more in the driveway but the wood lot is clearing up some.

This is a stack i started this spring in my daughters back yard. All taken from the town compost site a couple miles from her house. Mostly Oak, Ash, and Honey Locust. I'm only taking the wood I can identify and easy to buck right now cuz their is so much available there.
Not my wood splitting area, but I’ve been bringing them wood. I didn't bring the fir in the background though.
