    Next door neighbor asked last spring if I wanted a few red oaks that had fallen along side his lawn area I said yes. Well finally got a chance to take a look at them and was back over there in 10 minutes with the tractor and all the gear. Only took one load before it started to snow but got it split and stacked to finish off this pallet.

    There are 5 down all about the same size. Probably enough to fill another 20’ pallet. Best thing is just drive right up cut and load.

    Nice wood. Nice access.

    Interesting rack toppings you have there.

    They come with the 20’ pallets. We sell lots of Kleer composite trim boards it comes in 20’ lengths covered for shipping. I grab the pallets and the covers turn them inside out as they are white with printing on them the backs are either black or tan. They only last 1 year then start to deteriorate but I have plenty to replace with.

    Looks like some easy pickings. Do you have to carry it out from the underbrush to the trailer? That wood on the pallet you stacked next to looks nice and seasoned

    I was able to back the trailer right up to the rounds to load them. The first half of the pallet was cut and split last spring. Still a little wet but this pallet is for 2025.
