    The 021 is a little work horse. Might do some noodling with it. But a tree service did the cuts.

    The trailer was definitely over loaded. One set of tires was bowing in and the other set was bowing out! I was lucky to get it home.

    I don't know how you handle those huge rounds without getting a hernia or hurting your back. Looks like a lot of good heat there.

    I bet the truck was squatting pretty good with all the weight up on the tongue too.

    Good looking wood !!! I like the big wood myself. 1 stick will make a pile of wood. Beer just adds to a good looking load of wood. I like Buds but I will drink any kind thats in my hand lol Keep cutting.

    Nice load(s). Looks like you got a good stash already stacked - that wood will add nicely to that.

    That load of wood makes me feel like a pansy. If its that big I cut it into manageable pieces.

    If it's that big around here I leave it. I don't normally mess with stuff over 18-20" unless I happen to end up with it.

    My brother hauled a few dumptruck loads of butts from a sawmill. I think it was $100 per 6000lbs (roughly a cord.. weight is how most wood is bought and sold in Maine)
    Talk about a :hair::bug: dealing with that stuff!

    Does your splitter know what you delivered yet? You might want to chain it to a post before it finds out. :)

    Ya, I'm still trying to get back to three years ahead. Last winter really hurt that plan. These loads will go a long way toward that goal.
