I am fortunate, I have great neighbors, and I can not see any house's from mine. I can hear them through the woods, saws, guns, rebuilt motor no exhaust yet...you know the normal stuff.
Look over in the hobbies and interest section I’ve got a thread started about old tractors and farm equipment. By the way I think that was my Super A peeking out, there is a cub around somewhere too haha.
I’ve been down the last few days pretty sick today was the first day feeling better.I was going nuts sitting around so had to get out for a little 25 degree air oh and a bit of cutting... Load Cut Empty crib then reload this stuff Repeat repeatedly until this happens Roughly a touch over a cord 18’ long 5’6’ high
I love this thing! A lot of that stack will go through the splitter before final stacking. Here’s how it started, just the one in the front This will be next
Forgot to add I was averaging 3- 3 1/2 heaped wheelbarrow loads off the crib then 1- 1 1/2 more out of the long ends I reloaded. The surprising thing was I only ended up with 1 1/2 loads of uglies
.Glad to see you are feeling better. Less uglies is gooder looks like some pretty nice straight logs you got there What really puzzles me is, you using a wheelbarrow to move the wood when you have all those tractors.
Some days I kick myself for buying a boat when it could have been a shiny new L5060 Kubota, but I still love my old iron.. Maybe I need to think about finding a loader to fit one of them? I’m just not a huge fan of the old trip buckets spent some time running one on my great gramps tractor and wow doesnt pick up much more than the wheelbarrow and requires a lot of extra shifting
Oh yeah. There is a world of difference in the buckets run with hydraulics! Also I have grown to like the hydrostat transmission and no shifting of gears even to back up. Besides, my left leg has grown to hate clutches also and even had to go to automatic in the car.
The old guy that used to farm next door had an old M with a farmhand trip loader. He had duals on the back for counterweight as he had a set of forks on the front that he would use to load fenceposts. He spent most winters cutting hedgerows for lineposts that he would sell each spring for his seed money.
Great job on the build! This H frame design just saves so much time, energy and gas. I just wish I had more to cut!
