Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[mainewoods]

And I don't blame you. Just like firewood, you can never have too many tractors. That's a sweet Kubota. Been trying to find one like it, but people want an arm and a leg for them around here.

 

[mainewoods]

And nowhere near as nice as that one. You did good.

 

[zogger]

Yep. Confirmed it is a Shagger.
It's obviously a transplant here, but Southern Ontario has lots of transplanted trees people brought in.
My Sister was asking me about a leaf from an unknown tree on her property in Oshawa, Ontario so I took a look at the one she saved me and low and behold it was a Gum.

Same buddy has some Elm and a few Maples for removal too.
Looks like I'll be busy after I overhaul my 5x10 wood trailer

Save out that dark heartwood for cooking. It's the bestus. The stuff around here smells like bacon when you split it.

I've got to make a bracket for the Bota to hold some weight up front but I think it'll be fine in the terrain I'm cutting in , I'll polly get a cheap 8k winch for the front just in case I need a forward pull .

Don't overlook any deutzs if they show up around you, they'll give botas a run fer the money.

Ambull , none of this stuff are new purchases cept for the Bota and I bought it for the blower and the loader bucket LOL
A nice scrounge to me is to be able to hop in the utv , drive real close to the tree , cut a small load , turn the ac on and drive home ................ But , it always turns out to be more work than that

Marshy , we need some pics .

Been meaning to ask, what is a utv?

Talked to uncle mike yesterday, he was in a little bit of a grumpy mood. Fighting with the internet was cutting into his hunting time.

utv = utility vehicle , I made it up LOL

Not too many Deutz's up here Zog .

 

[mainewoods]

I think it's a southern thing ( Deutz's that is)

A run for their money??? When it comes to pulling power or fuel economy, a Deutz of the same HP as a Kubota will do a lot more than give it a run for it's money......that is the German Deutz, NOT the Deutz compacts that were made in Japan.

The factories have been calling off road "side by side's" UTV's, well since they invented them...

I thought it was urban terrain vehicle

Thanks for the welcome.
There is about one more load in the lot we took this from. My neighbor is going to have a 20"+ red oak taken down soon that I claimed as well. So the next few weeks will be pretty good. A coworker gave us free reign on a portion of his property as well. Some nice hard wood there, but will need to split this before we get too far ahead.

They kik buttinski. The one I use all the time, 2wd, is better in the woods and mud than the newish 4wd bota the boss has, given any kind of useful weight on the back. And the fuel economy is un freaking real. Really, them boys over in deutzville need to try their hand at rugged pickups.

 

[mainewoods]

Yes, by all means welcome SCBBQ! That's a darn nice scrounge you got there. And red oak no less! Thanks for sharing your score.

 

[mainewoods]

And good for you to scrounge that wood for your dad. Bet that means a lot to him.

 

[PLMCRZY]

I look on Craigslist. Tons of ranchers that love someone cleaning up there land for free.

Off topic. Is SC BBQ just like NC BBQ (i.e. pulled pork, hush puppies, etc)?

Speaking of BBQ, love those vinegar based sauces!
