Looks like I'd be heading to Melbourne or lower lol
here's what we scrounged Saturday out of the neighbors after a logging job a few years ago. mostly red and white oak (sorry Canada
) it's starting to go down hill but stihl lots of good wood. put the 241 to work along with the 026 and used the 036 for some noodling.

Yes we have
Yes we have those load limits here too.
Me too. She's a beauty. Just what I need.That's very cool, and I remember it. I want to do a dormer on the front of my place that way, but I'd probably end up covering it all up to make it an air lock of sorts to get into the house which would be sort of a waste as I'd like it all exposed.
It sure has been an odd yr.
Im glad it's cooled down a bit, but it's going to take a while for it to get froze back up. I did rip out two 5-6" box elders today root ball and all as well as a cherry about the same size. I'll probably cut thoseup with the 201 rear handle when I get a minute as I've only made one cut with it so far.
We built a 32x48 with a 10' lean to at my buddies last summer. I can't remember if I posted pictures here or in the GMT.
Sorry if I did already, but it is a nice building. View attachment 554103

Why are you cutting them to baby sized lengths?

A friend the wife works with her landlord had a big ash tree taken down and told the tenant it was her problem (which I don't get at all).
Needles to say I went over today and picked up this trailer load then there's probably another trailer plus a truck load just from the stuff they stacked up to get it out of the yard. Then... there's still the whole base which I'll have to take the splitter over just to make them movable.

"That's the way unhun unhun I like it"! OOPS, that sounds like Disco, I hate Disco. Love the Oak, Joe.
Yup that's crazy, it's definitely the owners problem.
But you are the benefactor so I guess it doesn't matter.
them's the size the customer likes. 16". the customer is always right. "Steve we like your wood 'cause we don't have to fight to get it in the stove".
No big huge piles of wood unfortunately, but a tree came down in my yard, beech I think, was pretty dead but it thankfully missed the house. Close though. But it felt good to fire up the 1 year old 550XP. I burn about 4 cords in winter. Cut standing trees myself, nervously, just beginning. But anyway, yeah, burning it right up. Here's some pics,

Going to be -8 tonight and cold all week. Truck hoist is installed and working, welder lines are installed, 120 volt recs are all installed and air lines are all run. Auction sale on Saturday but on Sunday I'm going to the bush. Between honey do jobs I snuck out and put the grapple back on the tractor, she caught me but I said I needed to weight on the rear to move wood up to the owb. 40 logs on the ground are waiting for me. Ceiling lights can wait because she has to paint the ceiling. I don't do paint.
Yep, I'm jealous, Joe.
And yes I have lots of hardwood on the property.

Said goodbye to one of our rodent scroungers Garfield today. She was born on our hobby farm back in 2001 and throughly the years visited every state east of the Mississippi except for the New England region plus a few west as well. She did well up until the last few weeks and the vets couldn't figure out anything except organ failure.
