The ramps were originally built for loading/unloading the 4 wheeler and lawn mower, has the ends on the boards. I just use wheel chicks and wooden wedges to hold the rounds on there. I later realized that I needed to beef up the support legs under the table and put a leg under the ramp.
It's been a busy week for us, started the 18th, deliver a load and work nights... Friday load Saturday load Monday load. We unloaded onto his trailer at his auto parts store. We had also started working on a load of hickory for a smoke/cooking customer after dropping off the oak loads. Split the 6 big rounds on the ground into a pile. Got it stacked on the truck Tues morning. Needing more, we got a 10'6" log out, Bucked it in 7-18" rounds Backed the truck up to the splitter My hunny helped me finish it up after taking a grandson home. This is all clean, bark free. I made a pass just under the bark with the splitter blade. Midwinter I do believe this hickory is heavier than oak. 1/3 cord load weighed a whopping 2100 Lbs.
Wednesday morning had a customer pick up about 1 1/2 rows stacked on his truck. After he left, I decided to buck up 5 or 6 more hickory logs, have them ready for splitting. It sure is fun playing...err...working with tractors, saws and splitters... I let the XS029BB that huskihl did and the MS461 join in the fun... That square chain sure cuts good in clean wood, it's just a pain to sharpen...
That must’ve worked we’ll unloading onto his trailer at the auto parts store. Made room so you could take all those pallets home Seeing your truck weight makes me want to go by the scales with a load. We’ll keep up the good work! You’ve only got one more night for deliveries for those who had firewood on their Christmas list!
1 day soon, I'm gonna get a 8 pin sprocket for it and put shorter bar on it. See how fast it is then.
Santa is about ready to take the rest of the week off...lol... I let them keep those pallets. I can get really nice pallets where I work.

Enjoyable video. Its fun cutting with a super sharp chain in clean wood. Ive never cut with square grind. Does the lightweight bar make a noticeable difference when cutting?
Great videos Jeff. Saw sounds great! I like your forks you have on the tractor. Seem very sturdy. Is your bucket pin on or quick attach?
Thanks, both saws are strong runners. The forks are heavy duty. Came off one of our lifts at work. The bucket is a pin on, it was the only way we could mount them. I usually use them for smaller logs than the tongs won't grab when loading. They work great for stacking/installing on the yard. If/when we get a grapple, we'll get different forks, it will be QA then
Well, Santa did make one final delivery this morning. My cousin's wife called yesterday, they only had a few pieces of wood left. Could I bring them a load after they left this morning...we got up a load of shorts and chunks, he likes those pieces, he always says "it'll burn". He had a stroke a couple years ago, he's better, but has a bad knee, fell the other day pulling a deer and bummed up his hip... We dropped it off, sent her a picture and a MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thanks, buddy. It's a fun chain to cut with, but really hard to hand file. The Wood Wolverine hand files a mean square chain, I believe. The lite bar helps the balance a good bit.
After you get the hang of it, square filing isn’t anymore difficult than round imo. Nice straight stroke of the file, just at a different angle. Sure does make a big difference in cut performance though, as you’ve experienced. I also found its more durable than round. There’s more metal to support that cutting edge. As usual, awesome wood pics T.Jeff! Love seeing well prepared stacks.
