Nice looking wood ya got there. Looked up goat town,ga. Nice old pictures on internet. Would like to meet you some day. Hoard on.
Thanks. We came through your beautiful state May 1st on the way to Backwoods Savage GTG in Michigan. Would like to meet you sometime too. Hopefully one day we can have a southern GTG.
Well, my hunny found some spare time this morning. Sent me a coupla pics to prove it. She got the big pile that was in here stacked. She stacked the knotty and cull pieces here for us to burn. She is my amazing hunny.
Nice looking work Mrs T.Jeff Veal ! Your a lucky man sir! Is that green fresh split? Will the wood stay there until ready to burn or will it be moved to a second location when burning season starts? I love the pallets sheds. I have to build a lean to shed for a friend this Summer and i like your design. Simple and effective.
Thank you sir, I'll tell her. I'm beyond blessed to have her. The oak and hickory were cut in February this year, it will stay in this shed. We have several other sheds that hold 1 cord or a bit over. This shed holds 5 cords. These are some of the 1 cord racks, gets good air flow.
Well, had a few hours this morning before resting for work tonight, so the A-team worked it out this morning. Got a good bit done. This is the hoard we are processing now, oak and hickory mostly. We finished up the smaller pile in the foreground, then moved the big logs to the right to processing area. Miz Carol finishing up the smaller rounds Lined up and ready 17-18" red oak, 1st log on the left in above pic. Took about 2 minutes to cut 7 rounds with our huskihl tricked X029. The carnage... This is sweating WITH THE OLDIES. Working off that great Michigan food and doughnuts...
You should call it T.Jeff Veal 's epic honey hole...just a suggestion! Nice looking work , wood, wife! I was sweating like that here yesterday. How do you like the modified saw? Does it make a big difference? I have my circa 2010 MS290 which ive considered modifying or getting a 261
That used to be our garden spot...lol...guess we're growing logs now...... Thanks for the compliments. My hunny is a hard worker... I absolutely love the modded saw, it will out cut my stock 362 now, I would check with huskihl and see what he thinks can be done.
So T.Jeff Veal , what is your secret to get those logs on your trailer? Did you have a tractor or something?
Yes sir. We have a L3130 Kubota. Have modified forks on the bucket for smaller logs... Headed to the trailer with a nice 7 1/2'hickory log. Have 2 hooks welded on top with chain and tongs for the bigger ones
Had a little time and cooler 70's this morning, so we went to the renewable energy epic honey hole processing area...lol...got out some hickory to mix in with the oak. My hunny finished up the halves and quarters of oak while I was getting set up for hickory. Bucked up a skid full of short logs. Nice 20" round All I can say is, the X029 likes to EAT. You done gooder huskihl .
I have a Kubota L2520. She's old, but runs good. Unfortunately the hydraulics are not real strong, so loading logs that big may be a problem for the old girl.
The hydraulics aren't super strong on ours either, especially with the forks on. Several times I've had to pick up one end, sit it on the trailer, pick up the other end and push it on. Or find something to set it on, curl out and boom up at the same time to get height. If that fails, I cut them shorter. These were only 6' long It would only handle 20" long rounds from this tree, average weight was 950# each. I just don't let it defeat me. My dad taught me that years ago. Said he killed ol' man Can't....
Well I'll have to give it a try. I have a 4' wide bucket on it and it will just pickup (slowly) a full bucked of road base. I do have a couple of hooks welded on the bucket. so maybe Ill get some tongs and give it a try. Thanks for the info.
