    Both plates ride in the front window :whistle:

    For the 3 years I have owned it I haven't even taking them out of the package yet, they last truck I did that with just after I finally put the plate on it died. So I refuse to put them on now :rofl: :lol:

    Got a load today. Kinda slacked on the photos today.

    Cut up the rest of the red maple top that was down and some dead laying wood to fill the truck up.

    Then starting into the area the mound system is going to go, dropped a good size basswood. Got it all delimbed, bucked into rounds and 80% split.

    Forgot to take a photo after I got it all split up.

    Thank you, definitely been a lot of work.
    That's what we recommend to them, we told them to wait till there's a good 6 to 12 inches of snow on the ground and light one at a time.

    Very cool, what area you moving too?

    Slow and steady wins the race! This is the most mine has helped with firewood in the 11 years we have been together, 8 years with the OWB, but it's been very enjoyable.
