    Sugar maple and cherry. Had to ramp some of it. The big Echo cut perfect with the new bar, chain and sprocket. Gave the little Echo some time in the cherry.

    Fields were pretty soft, a little squirrelly coming out, once you get movin stay on it. Had to take the pressure washer to big red after unloading.

    NG here.......she likes the wood heat but I need to get splitting. I told her honey just a little bit more....she said she would load the truck and set it out for $100. Of course though she is too short to reach the peddles, lol. I told her I would pay $100 just to see her load the truck.

    Pictures. That will require pictures.

    With that much wood on hand, perhaps you need a mini GTG?!

    These were right on the edge. I could have lifted them but it was easier to roll up the ramp, plus quicker than noodling, splitter will get them to size.

    I have found they only say that for 4-5 years. After that it’s just an eye roll. And that eye roll is a lot friendlier eye roll than we have no heat eye roll :)
