    Helpful to have it right under a street light, second load was after dark until we got cleaned up. And never complain for curb side gigs

    You've put up more than one thread so titled "Gift from ...."
    So too, it is requisite that more than once, a response of "You Suck" should follow suit.

    Greg, with the drop down sides ever consider parbuckling to get the log length up there in one piece? Then push a button when you get home and cut at your leisure.

    Don't know what parbuckling means, but will share my reasons I cut on site

    I can either bring my loader or my trailer, but not both and have room for wood. So I arrive with trailer and figure cutting to length allows me to get more in trailer, allows one or two guys to pick up pieces, and lastly when I get it home, splitting is really the only concern.

    I guess as I get older, and if I keep same volume, grapple truck might be nice piece to have.

    Just googled

    Maybe could do that with first layer of logs of right side. Then throw chunks on top for sake of speed
