Didn't get near what I wanted to done, started late and my back wasn't cooperating. Filled in the void and got the other two rows started. Nice weather though 64 degrees
Bad thing is I only have to move it 20 ft, but if I pick it up off the ground and throw it down there, it would probably be quicker, but then I have to pick it up off the ground again to stack it, so I was loading it in the little trailer and taking it down 20ft then stacking it
Great progress... Are you pulling that cart around the yard? If so, no wonder why your back hurts... Stay at it HD! Add a swiveling, wide wheeled trailer jack in place of the stock leveler on yer splitter... then you can push the splitter to the pile/load of wood which ideally could be unloaded right where you would want to stack it. Cuts down on carting from a centralized process area.
Yeah I think I will hook the tractor up to the little trailer tomorrow well that's if it don't rain, next time anyway. I unloaded this from Trailer couldn't get it closer
A little at a time and it'll be done before you know it, HD. I notice your newest tool took advantage of the photo op. What a "Ham"!
It's 50 here this morning. Man it's nice. Kinda cool for the south this time of year. I'm itching to crank the stihl this morning and probably will
Having good weather makes it more funner & We know, The more times you handle firewood, the "Drier " it gets :stacke:
Nice today too but It's not getting any drier cuz my back is having a rest day and it's suppose to rain after while . It isn't goin anywhere I'll get it :stacke:
Yea , a little at a time at our age. I went out to move more to the shed. Sun was out 3 trailer loads later, it started raining One of those wet years for us. The saying is , "it'll quit raining soon, when it turns too snow"
I don't want to think about snow yet Rain today and tonight , partly sunny tomorrow When I get back out there I'll get out the lawn tractor and load the trailer up bogydave style :stacke: less trips
Quicker is not always best. Working smarter is. I noticed we are the same age. I could split more wood quicker if I just threw the splits on the ground, pick them up and then stack. But not bending over and double handling it sure saves on the back. I load a couple of rounds in the bucket of my skid steer, roll a big round off onto the splitter, and split it in half rolling the half back into the bucket. The other half I split in half again and roll one half back into the bucket. I then start splitting putting the splits into the bucket. When the bucket is full, I then take it back to the stack. Raise the bucket up to waist level and stack. Not efficient I know, but sure saves the back. Yes yes I know Dennis. I am using the splitter in the wrong orientation.
Yeah , when I'm running the splitter they go right into the little trailer then to stacking unless I'm splitting right next to where I'm stacking That's a good setup with your skid steer bucket
Don't mind the mule load the wagon Oops!! Can't work the firewood if I break my leg walking on the pallets
