    I’m seriously gonna be taking a few days off work to get caught up on the hoard...This site is @10 miles from my house and a Shangri-La when I get there-63 rounds on the 1 ton today and the springs never thought about sagging... 7F9667F3-59BF-47C4-900D-6E9D25566115.jpeg 77BB24AC-F10B-4969-A4A6-660D73B3889D.jpeg 0308EEF4-639A-408B-A855-2DCF9BEA81F3.jpeg E304E02B-9E67-4AB7-90D5-9702671B9AB1.jpeg

    good looking haul. I like the single file rail rack, solid support. Is the pile of uncuts all for you?

    Well, I could proffer you another finger....My bad...:eek: buZZsaw BRAD, no those are just more he has staged for loading-Its been so wet here he has hundreds that until he dropped some rock the tractor trailer could not access the site-The big rounds he loaded with the picker are the butt-offs, I’ll get all of those and tops unlimited-he is skidding them up and placing them for my easy access-It’s about a 200 acre operation, gonna see how much I can cut for say the next month-when soreness soothes, I’ll go back and will be taking some days off work-My goal is 9 cord

    Nothing wrong with butt ends and tops...still lots of good wood. Good connection, easy loading zone too! Does he load it all or do you have to process the tops on site and load? For wood of that quality, id take time off too! Best of luck with it!

    No buZZsaw BRAD , he’ll just keep the butt-off close to the picker as he chop saws to load within reach, all else is my labor with cant hook, saws and lifting into the bed-Now that he has all equip on site he just moves it with that awesome articulating skidder and then jumps in the picker, lifts, cuts to length with chop saw and stacks for load out-also has dozer and excavator on site

    However, that being said you have earned today's 'You Suck' award for free wood and a bunch of good stuff at that!:rofl: :lol: :salute:

    That sounds like the same thing I've been cursed with since the second hip surgery. Just have to live with it.
