    Been hauling Fendt, Deere, and case tractors. There’s definitely no shortage of loads that’s for sure.

    It’s events like this that highlight “prairie potholes” so well.

    It appears Murphy (Murphy's Law) has gone for now. Today we're getting some sun after days of dark, low clouds and light rain :yes:, one 3 minute little phone call had TWO items of good news. :yes::yes:

    I'm really sorry J, hoping for a good recovery for those affected and I pray no loss of life. I lost my close friend in freak flash flood in 1997, she was among others, the town had not seen this since this since the 18o0's, it was a wreck.

    Well I did a thing. :rofl: :lol:

    My little red coffin on wheels just got an upgrade. I’ve been driving 2 hours each way to our spring lake MI office for training a few times a week. There’s so much road work it’s insane when I’m heading home so time for entertainment or dead brain cells depending on how you look at it… I dug the old powerhouse off the shelf in the garage and hooked it up. :whistle: Im probably gonna regret it.

    I finished cutting up the last 2 cord of red oak logs from last fall's delivery. Took 4 days and almost 5 chainsaw gas tanks full.

    So.........I have a bunch of way too large for lifting rounds and when I began splitting, I put the splitter in vertical position.

    I had all I could do to bull those rounds around just to get them to the splitter! Besides trying to position them...... I better take a break!

    Had lunch, took a good rest, then headed back out to the waiting (laughing...no, mocking me!) red oak rounds.

    The only improvement I noticed was when I got down to the smaller sized rounds.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I'm glad my splitter is able to be configured in the vertical position as it saved me way too much time using a splitting maul. BUT.........

    Splitting vertically is for the birds! (sorry Dennis)

    The amount of time spent splitting vertically is much longer than splitting horizontally. If only I was able to lift those rounds! Better yet, if only I had bought the log splitter with the log lift cradle. Now that would have been the way to go! Lift capacity is 340 lbs-that would have done it.
