Big oak rounds

I think if it's used more for what it's for your fine. I've had it for a few years now and moved a lot of palleted wood with it. I'm not known to be the easiest on things. I'll take a pic of what I normally move with it for reference later.

 

Here's a pic of what I normally use it for.

 

Nice rounds. That one looks like the kind that will break in half if you hit it with a maul or splitting ax on the crack.

 

Oak typically splits so easy that you could probably use a wedge and a mallet to halve them

 

Great rounds! Hoard on.

That huge chunk of oak I just hauled, the land owner wanted it gone asap and it would have taken me much longer to split it all by hand, which I rarely [if ever] do. I have hydro's for that reason. Noodling is much quicker and doesn't tax the body as much.

Wow! You plan to make boards? Cherry that size is valuable!

 

Or,

 

I think most of them will split easily. More of a get it before someone else does kind of thing. Figure if i can take it whole it's less trips.

 

We older folks need to cut our food up into smaller pieces.

 

It's nice to move big pieces when you've got the equipment to do it.

Move it to where you can turn it into smaller pieces when convenient.

Getting older is one reason why I bought a small tractor.
I shouldn't have waited until I got older though.

 

My thoughts exactly, I like to do things at my pace. Didn't want to commit to getting them all busted up and hauled off. Bought the tractor a few years back to keep from busting myself up.

 

If you have ever been stuck with a big Elm round from a foolish wood fishun'™ expedition, you are familiar with noodles.

 

BAM!
