Loaded truck pics.

The spruce and pine splits up front, probably close to 18 months. The stuff in the tote,? Who knows maybe 3 years…?

 

Virgin load for the 2019. Mostly locust with some ash that was split back in 2017. Just barely touching the overload springs.

 

100 bundles. Mostly red maple, cherry, tulip poplar, with some ash and oak.

 

Very nice Brad!

 

Agree, Those stacks are just about perfect, Nice job Brad!!

 

x3 Brad, picture perfect stacks there.

 

I’m partial to the rich color blend. It says this is not your typical milquetoast mass produced 7 11 bundle.

 

What an awesome idea. Ready made mini woodshed

 

Fridays load . 2 cord total .
2 days to the woods 4 cord got out . 3 delivered 1 to go .

 

Just Beautiful, Brad !!

 

Awesome. Nice job Brad!!

 

Thanks folks.

Passed one of my other stations en route and noticed he was low. I didn't realize owner had texted earlier asking for a refill...75 bundles. Got a text today from one of the local stations asking for more. Over 100 more bundles need assembling soon. I did some while it rained this afternoon. An extra piece of metal slid onto the back roof edge gave me a little extra protection. Assembling bundles not one of my favorite wood selling tasks why I do a little at a time. Tis the season though!

 

Yep, those totes make deliveries a lot easier.
Especially when you can make multiple deliveries on 1 trip...
Made 3 stops with this load...1 lady got 2 totes
Another 2 load trip...

 

Do you have them put down a deposit for the use of them ? Then go pick them up when they are empty?

 

Not loaded . But I measured and bucked and offloaded the wood that was on the trailer . Then started building the stake sides.
They come up 18" above the trailer deck. . Got them about half done. Need to build the front and a slide in tail gate . Also need to weld on 11 stake pockets. Less than 5 hours of daylight really cuts into the work day

 

We normally just unload the tote and bring it back. A couple places have a couple. We don't normally have a way to unload away from home.

 

You need one of those fancy electric wrappers. Eastonmade is selling one.
I haven’t done any bundles this year. I dislike making them more than I dislike stacking. Even stuffing bags bothers me with the time it takes. I looked at the cost of some bagging frames and just wasn’t feeling it.

 

Ive thought of using the mesh bags but I'm too fussy about size/shape of them.

I've thought of the electric wrappers but my set up not ideal for one. Ill end up doing 10-11 cords worth of bundles for 2024. Just under 2000 bundles.

 

Thats a good looking product
