How I process firewood

A couple years ago, I decided I had to come up with a less labor intensive way of processing my firewood. Basically, I needed a method where I didn't have to bend over as often and lift as much. Here are some pictures from this evening that show how I've been processing the wood this year.

My Kubota B7610 plays an integral role in all aspects.

Holding the log as I block it:

Using the picaroon to move the blocks to a pallet:

Blocks on the pallet ready to be lifted and driven to the splitter;

Rolling them off the pallet onto the splitter;

Taking the trailer loaded with splits to be stacked.

Nice setup. I bought a grapple and do the same thing. As long as you are awake, keeping the log balanced should not be an issue. A buddy of mine has a beefy saw buck that he sets logs on as well. Gotta love tractors and toys

This is how I split most (95%) of mine. I don't even own a milk crate. I just use the tractor loader bucket to hold the rounds and as a table to hold the 1/2 split rounds. I am considering pallet forks to make bucking easier, with zero bending over.

I just slide them off the bucket to the splitter. Split the rounds in half, hold one half with my substantial belly, and place the other half on the bucket. Very easy on my back.

Love the OP setup... nice work. Really wish I had the space and loolah for a real tractor like that.

I like the process seems like it would save your back. My splitter is only horizontal so I made a log lift that has saved my life. The lift also doubles as a table once the rounds split and try to fall View attachment 101638

Love the splitter lift. Also wish somebody would make one for my Ariens... ok, I'm getting lazy, my Ariens is an H/V splitter...
