Neighbor called & said another neighbor needed to get rid of some Oak. Eight big trees taken out & he didn't pay the tree service to haul them off. Took a friends Kubota & my dump trailer & got started. 1.6 Mile round trip. Heavy stuff for the little Kubota though. Gonna run my M over tomorrow after work. Hauled three loads & I bet there's at least a dozen to go.
Great score sir. Thats some serious wood. Heavy SOB's for sure. You've definitely have the equipment for it! Keep us posted
Very nice sizes on those bad boys, a long time to dry good but sure is worth it , great score have fun cutting it up
Yea, there's gonna be some serious sawing going on this Winter. I think there's about 20 cord total on this site. Oak takes about 2 years to dry good enough for the boiler in that area where the trailer is in the pic. I'll cut it then split & run it out into a pile with the conveyor then stack as time permits.
Some nice big chunks. We shouldn’t be hearing from you anytime soon Great score. You don’t see that everyday.
Those are some gut bustin log for sure. Love the oak, kind of like a lady though. Make you wait a couple of years till you really get to enjoy it.
"No, just leave them. I know a guy who knows a guy...". The neighborhood must have a pretty high comfort level about getting rid of wood! What if you said no?
The property owner put the word out all over. Several people said they'd take it. I guess one guy took one load no one else showed. Ed called me & we hauled three in two hours. I think this guy was a bit overly optimistic about what people could do with heavy logs. It would take several days to weeks to cut & move that pile without equipment. It's a lot of time even with hydraulics.
SCORE! I would of had to pass. With no equipment the oak would of been seasoned by the time I got done moving it
Wow Adam, you surely have a way of getting some beautiful wood dumped on you! Great you have the equipment for the big stuff.
Where's the smaller, easier stuff to work with? It all get chipped? That's a good deal of big logs to deal with.
That’s a great score for those with the equipment. Like you said, still work, but a whole heck of a lot less....
