Red Oak

Cut and split up some red oak yesterday. Caught a break in the rain. That stuff was wet and heavy! Rounds were about 18-22" and all I wanted to handle. Of course my helper was there.

 

Very nice, looks like a great area to be splitting. Always great when our buddy comes along.

 

I split a lot of it myself. Very nice to work with.

 

I love me some red oak. Good looking wood

 

Great wood and nice pic of man and dog. The wood will be used up someday- the pic is priceless.

 

Is that a three point hitch mount splitter?
If so, which and how do you like it?

 

Nice looking woods there, looks like a good mix of Beech as well. You have a beautiful dog!

 

Yes its a 3 point mounted splitter. It was made by Ramsplitter and I have had it for 8 years. It has a PTO driven pump. I like it alot, i can run the tractor at 1900 rpms and split wood. Tractor is so quiet at that speed and from behind you can easily have a conversation.

 

Yeah she goes everywhere with me, thanks! This property has most of the common hardwoods other than cherry, elm and ash.

 

Good looking work sir! Nice that you can bring the splitter in the woods.

 

Those are some pretty piles of future BTU's Spencer.

 

We have some pretty big beech on the other side of our property. I will take some pics and share.

 

Nice pile of splits and a good pooch helper cannot be beat.

 

Nice looking oak, beautiful dog! What’s better than CSSing with your best friend?

 

Wow! Very nice; the oak, the dog, the splitter and the woods. Makes me want to bring some coffee and help you split and stack. Has a calming air about it.

 

Bark is off so must have been downed for awhile. Green, it would REALLY have been heavy. Looks like it split well.

 

It was actually standing dead for about a year and i just cut it down. Very few stringy pieces, it did split well.
