Krackle_959 ... your mention of using chips for your trails... this is exactly what I have thought about doing on my trails. But... seems super...
Cool, wish we had thornless locust here.
Dang, amazing!
Congrats! I don't think you'll have 1/3 cord (face cord to me) in a large tote with it being tossed. Stacked, yes.
Krackle_959, why did they do the chipping? Did they haul this off and sell it? Or was this a service to you? If the latter, that would be...
Happy birthday to the master! Those are some great maples, ours don't grow that big here. I like to split it, like to burn it, it's nice firewood.
Wow, very cool story about your place. Did they pretty much clearcut or leave some trees? What is left? Will it naturally regenerate or are there...
Matter of fact, just an hour ago spoke with my friend who is in the logging business and has a log truck. He is going to look over the tract with...
Nope, trails stay the same, just wide enough for the vehicles. The 100 ft idea is just where brush, saplings, and competing trees would be thinned...
Do you know how lucky you are to have a wife who will work with you like that? Awesome! That is the ultimate. I have actually wished for same,...

Some good ideas posted and pics of cool equipment. As for security out there, I do not have power there. There is a powerline crossing my tract...
I can't figure out how to make it work without a serious investment in equipment. I'd have to, essentially, log the woods of sweetgum, which means...
The woodlot is 5 miles from my house on blacktop busy highway. Whatever I would buy, more than likely, it would be kept at the woodlot. But if...
Yep, I mentioned the Mitsubishi Minicab. And there are others, like Honda and Suzuki. To me, these make the most sense in the size department;...
SHORT: I need a vehicle of some sort to haul firewood out of my woodlot... other than my truck because I need 4wd, and the smaller, the better. My...
so, what the heck is hvbw?
Cool! This is the kind of thing every time I am in my woods. Trying to identify trees! Their life cycle is interesting. I wish I could hire...
Great looking wood, way bigger than I first thought. Log to be milled, cool!
I came across this video because I do 'crop tree release' (CTR) on my woodlot for timber stand improvement (TSI). The reason for posting is that...
