A friend the next county over had some more hickory trees he wanted gone. We were happy to relocate them. He even loaded them with his mini-excavator. Only tree we got a picture of, cut 2 smaller trees and 1 already down to finish the load. Cutting the smaller tree from the stump Doing some limbing... Main trunk coming down... More limbing... And bucking... Loaded for home... Added bonus, he had a fat pine stump he had dug up... We cut at his place a couple years ago, got 8 loads then. Will be more loads and pictures to follow...
Great stuff there Jeff. You certainly get some big scores. Cant beat being able to cut to your specs too. I see lots of precut free wood and decline just for that reason. How many folks are amazed that I don't like it precut.
Yes sir. Fat wood, fat pine, fat lighter...old growth pine tree stumps. Down here it was long leaf or slash pines that made it
The big ones I have gotten were a pia to split. Real time consuming and many of my Hickory stacks have collapsed. I’m sure your splitter does fine with it, but with mine I have to work it about like Blackgum.
I don’t get much hickory but the ones I’ve had lately run through my homemade box splitter rather easily. I have a harder time splitting Tulip. I can’t figure that out
