    20210423_170826.jpg 20210423_171038.jpg Although I get plenty of free wood it seems never a lot of oak. Ran into the logger that did my dad's farm a few years back and asked what loads were going for. $650-700 depending on species. All oak was the $700 stuff. Told him to bring a load of oak. It is a mix of dead and green. Red,white and chestnut oak. Mostly about 25 foot long logs.

    I would buy loads if I could. It’s a lot more convenient and no limbing.

    I'm hoping 7. the logger had them fairly tight stacked on the truck.

    I'm hoping it cuts down on time spent getting wood here. Hauling a 1/2 cord or so in the truck or dump trailer eats into splitting time.

    The thread title confused me. For a bit i thought the triaxle broke down and left you the load?
    Hopefully i never have to pay for wood, but it is a lot easier. How quick will you process that Steve?

    Sweet corn planting this week. Maters and peppers are coming next week. Figuring I'll work on wood on days it's to wet to get in the fields.

    Very nice.


    Thats the way to do it. Saves time and whatever vehicles you use to haul the wood otherwise.
