First and last pics you can see each side of the tops/brush pile-so yes LocoEngineer they have many branches-lol
I had to search beech trees, what a gorgeous tree. I guess they do grow this far north. I'm jealous of you guys further south, such a variety to choose from. Nice score man!
LocoEngineer , I have beech in my forest. I'm pretty far north. I hauled this load of 40% beech, 40% shagbark hickory, and 10% "filler" sugar maple and some ash.
Hate that for you LocoEngineer its one of the best 27.5 mil btu's per cord-hotter than ash, red oak, maple-etc-dries fast, burns long...
Got some nice rubber tree rounds over there too. Looks like the infamous rubber tree borer took care of the heart though.
papadave the dopers bring me them a lot, I dont even ask...they have already started putting them on the brush pile and I just txtd my friend Cpl. Jenning with natural resources police-he has permission to travel my farm and he is going to try and catch them when they have they're big dope party/bonfire on my property-He looks out for me
Horkn I will NOT like your post---I use the pickaroon to move the tires around for that very reason-I am always on the look out for the bastages
Yea, one can hope-been a lil concerned they'd steal my wood that is down but that would require them to work
Smart call. I need me some pickaroon. Mostly for splitting fun, as we really don't have rattlers in my area. There's copperheads, but I've only seen one ever in my 40 years in the woods in Wisconsin. There's timber rattlers in the western area of Sconnie, and water moccasins are in swampy areas, or so I've heard, but I don't run across those in the woods.
That's why I only cut logs into rounds if I'll get them from the woods right away. I certainly won't split rounds in the woods to leave them there. The lighter they are, the easier they become Mexican firewood. Aka Nacho firewood.
Horkn we have both, not in particular abundance but one is one too many-I will not harm non-venomous but copperheads and rattlers, different story altogether
There are lots of them in Michigan's upper peninsula....on the east half. Once you cross the Escanaba river there are few. West of MI I don't think you'll find many.
You might consider getting one with a wood handle. I like the wood much better than aluminum especially because so much work is done in cold weather. Handling the cant hooks and pickeroons with wood handles treats the hands a bit better.
Cant hooks, pickaroons.... That's a first class operation you're running there. Makes a knuckle dragger like me look bad.
