Loaded truck pics.

Noted that also. An "low tech" Photo Shop to scrub out the license plate!

 

How dare you post such pics without any details of the truck. That looks like a Tacoma.

 

Yes it is a tacoma it's the only thing I've got that will get around when the snow is deep it's got grip spurr tires in the winter time and a winch just in case
It's also got a little heavier than stock leaf springs so you can load it up
It's my hunting truck but when the big trucks cant go up the mountain it will

 

That’s a nice little wood buggy for sure. I brought home this birch home in a ‘96 Taco.

 

Load of wood after work with the Tacoma bringing it home.

 

Basically a rinse and repeat day with the ported 461 making short work of a load of wood.

 

Load of spruce, from after work today.

 

Mixed load of spruce and birch, my standing dead spruce in the spot by work has been hauled home over the last two winters. I have to explore across the road next work from the view with binoculars some promising standing dead spruce should be less than 10 minutes one way. Birch patch is healthy.

 

Mom and I split the 7 loads of wood I brought home after work on this 7 day stretch.

 

You gonna wear that new splitter out

 

Yessir, better than my joints. Now that I have seen light, I won’t live without one. I always thought I am not wasting money on a splitter, when I can hand split.

 

I think it was when I had 3 mauls with broken handles I decided to get Hydraulics , But if I didn't have hydraulics now I wouldn't be burning wood

 

I understand, I just held out as long as reasonable. Now I am planning on a wood processor for the next phase of life. There will be a day I can’t manage the physical work in the woods. A few cords would be one thing but 15-20 a year will be something else.

 

Maybe you need one of those machines that cuts the tree down ,Limbs it , sections it And puts it in a pile

 

I have looked at a harvester, but think a forwarder with processor roller head may be a better option. They will cut the tree, then cut to length, onto the back of the forwarder. Then I will need a trailer with a grapple to transfer from forwarder to trailer. All not to buy heating oil.

But will have to sell firewood to make all that reasonable.

 

Something small scale like this.

 

There you go

 

Today’s load of white birch. Took two arched over, think rainbow looking.

 

Another day, another load

 

Birch load from after work, snow is getting deep, 461 with square grind makes quick work. Cut 4 birch and brought the smallest one home today.
