It's no big deal. I got a few.

That's one Musky lure each in this neck of the woods.

I asked buddy "What were you thinking ?" he said he thought he had enough time to make the left on a green light as I was at the light when he made the bone head move :mad:
It was much nicer here .

We wanted to haul a few more loads before the lot gets grubbed .
Uneven ground , frozen wood and steel forks makes for a bit of this .

Still managed to get the rest of the nice stuff hauled and worked all the way down to the Zoggerwood

Liked for the wood content. Sorry about the car.
 
IMG_20161210_175052.jpg I got 7 loads hauled home today. 4 loads of decent 8" plus ash, 2 of ash tops and branches and a couple of poplar, birch and cherry mixed. We have about a foot of snow so that makes things fun. I'm with Duncan and the pain in the azz when the logs slide off the forks. Takes a lot longer to load the wagon for sure. I only have 1 set of remotes or I would put my grapple on the front for loading. Used a full tank of fuel in the tractor too and for once I never broke anything today. Must have the bugs worked out on the Idiotbehindthewheel on the tractor.

I get more than I can use from homesite clearing. They usually load the trailer (16' flatbed) for me and sometimes dump in my yard from their truck!
More and more we are seeing the good logs go to the mill, but even then there are remnants, crooked logs, or a half load at the end not worth hauling.
I usually give the workers a little cash or a case of refreshment. A tandem dump is a year's worth of fire for me, and some for neighbors. My 20+ yr old Vermeer splitter is about broken in.
