Cut three loads today. Got a partial load I’ll get in the morning after work. Earlier in the cutting season, I bought 8 gallons of bar oil. I figured it would be enough to get me through the season. Had 60 cords in my head as my stopping point. Finished off the last gallon of bar oil today! I’d rather be lucky than good Load 1 Load 2 Load 3 What’s left to get tomorrow
Yeah it does! Always wanted to know the weight of a load but pretty out of my way to go to the scales. Maybe some day
Youre making me look like a slacker. When will cutting end? How much gas did you go through? I average 2 gallons of mix in six weeks. Ill mark the date on the gas can.
You’re anything but a slacker brad! I didn’t keep track of how much gas I went through. I was pretty close on my 2cycle oil too. I don’t have quite enough for another gallon of fuel! I’ll have to start keeping track of the fuel. I run 2 one gallon cans and when one runs out, I start using the other one and refill the one that rubbed out one my way home. Cutting all depends on the farmer. I can’t access where I am cutting through the woods, so once he plows I’m done. I’m fine if that means now, but if he hasn’t pushed the brush back off the field and plowed by Sunday, I’ll go cut on Monday. There’s only two trees left along that edge of the woods that I didn’t get. They’re the biggest ones, so I was saving them for last. Don’t want to leave anything out in the field overnight just in case he comes to work the field, and with work the next 4 nights, it just doesn’t leave me enough time each day. I’ve pushed back the field edge from the pin north to the corner of the field. One of the two trees is where the pin is and the other one is about 30 yards north of the pin.
I’ve still got a lot of work ahead myself, but it’ll get done! Sad aren’t they? It’ll look better next season!
High tech. Google Earth and GPS for firewooding! I just have wifi on my saw! One question: did your truck warn the splitter on whats ahead?
I wonder who works hardest ~ You while you're moving all these mountains of wood, your wife taking care of the kids while you do it, or that poor truck! I stand in awe.
Spring field work is not far away. This would be a year to consider planting oats in March! That rarely happens here.
