[ATTACH] My longest distance so far was about 400 miles to take down a tree for my brother in law. I guess I do have a picture of the tree before...
Fun fact for the day: Used RR ties are much harder to find now than a few years ago. Apparently coal-burning power plants can get some kind...
I did have hydraulic help for some of it. ;):tractor: (thought you might enjoy the pictures again) But several of the rounds were too knotty...
The first picture with the big rounds was an old pine tree from a local cemetery. It had died from disease and the tree service dropped the...
Last April to today. The splitter isn't on the tractor currently, so I just noodled off the knarlies and I'll split the last bit sometime this...
Overkill? Naw, overkill would be a rotating grapple hook! Dad built that splitter back in the '80s when you had to make it yourself or do...
. . . When you don't have a vertical splitter. . . . Had these old rounds sitting around, this just seemed easier than me lifting them. . ....
I pm'd him on that board, I'll let you know if he's interested.
My understanding is that the pines are in Floyd County. I didn't know that part about moving firewood. I guess that's why he said his options...
Someone on a different (non-firewood) forum posted that he has four white pine trees that need to come down, he doesn't have a big enough saw to...
That's just incredible!! Awesome score. :thumbs:
Jealous!!!o_O I have to go fell, limb, and skid my ash trees before I can start bucking them!! :saw::tree::saw: That's awesome for you!
I know, I love just looking at those pictures. But I can't leave the pine. The locust is anchored by those cedar trees, so it's pretty...
Correct. The IS can easily fill completely full of coals on a steady diet of ashwood. Those coals give off some heat, but not nearly enough...
My brother (who heats exclusively with wood) scoffs at the pine. But then, he's got a pre-EPA furnace that burns everything down pretty good....
Yeah, it could be done. But I'd rather split the locust by hand. Much more satisfying to watch it blow apart. :D I may end up renting a...
What little locust is split (on the top of the pile) was split with the Isocore. It actually was working pretty good. I'd be more concerned...
A couple pictures for the picture lovers here ;) A 140 year old pine tree died from wilt a couple years ago and I got the trunk and a couple...
Last night seemed to go better. One piece of wood was a bit too long and got stuck crooked so I didn't get as much in as I wanted too. There was...
I went out and got some nice one year old ash off the outdoor piles. 6"x6", 7"x4" barkless splits, that sort of thing. It was rained on last...
