used splitter from home depot, new saw (me the newbie)

[redprospector]

My unckles farm is full of old cars and trucks

I could miss it by a year one way or the other, but the first 2 pic's looks to be a 1952 Chevy 5 window. My favorite. I could have fun for days at your uncle's farm.
Be sure and cut those trees so they don't fall on any of those treasures.

my unckle said it was a 51 or a 52 chevy

That would make a pretty cool delivery/parade/advertising/tax deduction truck. A real eye catcher all fixed up.

[pacman]

huh ? tax deduction ?

How can it be a tax deduction, Red ?

 

[redprospector]

Fix it up all pretty, with wood side boards with your business name all over them. Put it in a few parades, take it to the fair, park it in places it can be noticed. It's advertising at it's finest.

It's a business expense. Do you do your own taxes?

[lawson's tree s]

good luck with the splitter and the saw. hopefully it will turn a few bucks for you . shouldn't have any problems selling firewood people can't get enough when it gets cold out.

hard woods

I am going to sell mostly hard woods but I usually get most of it on the side of the road and lots that have been cleared.I got some cherry and walnut last week ,about 3-4 truck loads ,untill it got too dark ... hahah .

winched !

Today I put a winch on my 16 foot trailer to give me a lil help with the bigger bucks.

 

[yooperman]

I noticed green on the trees in your pics. I just plowed 16"+ of snow in my firewood yard yesterday(after a week of 60deg. weather). Want to trade? LOL Is that an 029 stihl you have? I've been using one for years. The thing won't die so I can't justify going and getting another saw(Jonsered 2165 drool like Homer Simpson). Nice winch set up also. Do you plan on deliveries or sell roadside? Sell good wood and you'll have more people call than you have wood to sell. Good luck.

 

[sweetleafburner]

got chaps?

its real cool what your doing .ear muffs,glasses,no safety boots,but dude you have to get some chaps.and steel toe boots.but most of all chaps.safety first, the reson for safety is whats waiting for you at home.dont take it for granted.and dont pay no mind about them yanks there is plenty of wood out there for everyone .

Winch IS ON !

I went to work friday and my supervisor asked me to work saturday , so I said ok . Then I asked him how about that winch back in the shop what are you going to do with it ?He says I dont know its been back there a while and guys have been asking for it . So I says can I have it and put it on my trailer tomorrow ? He says ok bring your trailer up here tomorrow and pick it up. Believe me im not a welder but look what I done while I was at work. I cut the pieces with a cuttin torch .Then I made a template of the base of the winch ,made straight marks on the trailer ,then clamped and welded the pieces,boltedit down. Sunday I connected the cables up and it didnt work , hahahah, (2hours later) found out the problem was the wires were snatch out of the plug .I fixed it the wires then went to the woods to try it out . Worked like a champ . Picked up some oaks bucks around 400 lbs .Thank the boss for the freebie !

Cool rig pacman! It looks strong and functional, some grinding and paint'll make it, (might have added a brace in case you snag while dragging somethng big, from the front of the bed to just above the red part on the upright of the stand, just a thought as i could see this maybe bending the frame the way it sits), hope my first welding project turns out half that good, yer a natural

Its a 290

I think its a 290 farm boss or some thing like that . I bought it new and they said it will last over 20yrs ! Cool Huh ! I am going to find me a spot at the farmers market and sell the wood. Its alot of hackberry here and its easy as pie to split .Im going to sell what ever kind of wood I can sell that they want to buy ,stick $2, truck load $75 ,trailer load ( I dont know yet hahah ) mayybe $175 -250 !
Did you check out my winch pic ?

Pacman, Thats good stuff, man. Cutting in the presence of old Iron sure beats the goat infested lot I get to cut in.

Consider that a half cord fits on a 4 x 4 pallet @ 4'. A little shrink wrap, some pallets, a means to move said pallets...

Just a thought. I am seeing it more and more.

thanks

I didnt see that untill you said it . I think I will weld a brace inbetween the traile frame and put a brace in front incase it might want to come apart from too much weight .

I really like that idea but I dont know how strong the winch is.I would like to drop off a palet of wood in a drive way with it though hahaha !!!

Pacman, nice score on the winch setup!!! You did a good job on setting it up also.

It should save you a lot of backaches!!!
