Nashville hot or not so much?

It has to have room for air movement, don'tcha know...

 

After working 6PM-6AM shift last night, played on the woodyard this morning. CSS some 1 yr old red oak logs.
Got a tote ready for storage...

 

Hey Rope hope you can give us details here 3 hours 2 people about 2 cord

 

And may I be the first to comment on the "perfectly stacked rick in the rack" (tote) !!!!!

 

Precisely! Seasoned perfectly to 15 below MC!

 

Thanks brother ...probably would have been better if Miz Carol had done it. She took the day off

 

The manufacture says 3 cords an hour. I believe that possible, with one push of the ram per round cut and piled. We are splitting into a dump trailer, no sides is one cord and with sides is 2 cords. We are running a 3 person crew. One processor operator, one to keep the log deck loaded and one to manage the wood as it piles in the trailer and move it forward. If we are in perfect diameter wood with no resplits and firing on all cylinders 55 minutes has been our best 2 cord load. I would say 1:15 is our normal. Seems like we always have something small that burns time, usually more than one thing. And a slow day is 1:45 - 2 hours and something a little more major to undo. None of it has been equipment issues/down time. It's things like 2 logs went into the saw chute and having issues fishing one out. A log not sitting on the live deck and teetering off one side or the other. The typical wood yard fun. I hope this helps explain.

 

Put the XS400 to work...
Got a couple more totes of beautiful red oak CSS and ready for storage...
Storage is looking good...
Got 23 totes in this area.

 

Looking mighty fine down there, bucking logs in style elevated off the ground with the forks

 

Looking gooder! Is that asphalt felt being used for weed control?

 

No sir, it's some extra heavy duty tarps we bought probably 10 years ago. We had attempted to cover logs for long term storage. Got 3 of those and 3 billboard signs.
