Scrounged a trailer load of white oak today! Rounds already cut to 16” +/- an inch. Easy pickins. Just had to roll them aboard. I probably overloaded my trailer by about 500 lbs. so I took it easy on the way home for sure. I figure the haul was about 15 linear ft of 24” diameter rounds. So somewhere in the vicinity of 2,500 lbs. Looking forward to splitting!
WOW! If there was such a thing as a perfect CL wood score, thats it! Three thumbs up ! Dont blame you for overloading. I wouldve done the same! Your user name today is "road side white oak"!
Tires look like they have just a little squish. Going slow is always good. It can be good to jack the trailer up, try to wiggle the tires/bearings and then listen to the bearings and hope they're not talking/growling at cha. Winter hasn't been too hard on that juniper/arborvitae in the background of the first pic.
My least favorite part of dealing with bigger rounds is getting them quartered. Just a awkward process I have not yet perfected. Glad to get that behind me today with this trailer load!
I see the little leverage pieces. Getting those large rounds setup is tough. Whenever I don’t have them setup perfectly, my splitter walks back. An hour later and I’m 10 feet from where I started. Still trying to perfect the split as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
