    First the transmission lines where bad then we discovered the trans itself took a dump. AC put the new trans in for me. It runs good now !

    I get sick of raking up all the chips and bark so I fold the tarp and dump it right into the truck bed. From there it goes to a burn pile or firepit wherever I can find one. The big bark chunks do get saved however for fire starting.

    I was gonna weld a ball on but it wound up not needing one. There are to chunks under the tires and that's all it really needs the stand was just perfect to hold it in place.

    You'd probably hate to see my splitting areas. When I was getting logs loads, that whole area just got plowed up into piles after the logs went away.
    It's pretty well disintegrated now, but the new area has splitter trash all over (yet confined:)).
    I do need to rake it out of the way so I can roll the splitter around easier.

    I too did some splitting. But only for an hour or so and by hand with all that I have left, an axe that I was given by a friends dad who is also a friend like 9 years ago. IMG_20131027_160802.jpg
