    Got a bunch of maple rounds busted up so I can handle them and Finnish up in horizontal mode.
    Moved some chunky monkeys up by the house.

    It looks like your splitter made easy work of your big boys...

    I see some of your big ones found the noodling tool (chainsaw) too

    Yeah, I rolled some big ones up in the trailer when I picked it up, but the bigger ones I was afraid I might get hurt so I had to noodle them on site and load the chunks with the dolly

    Darn right there. Work smarter, not harder. You back will tell you to take it easy. The trick is to listen to it. :yes:

    Good idea. :zip:
    I need to remember to take the dolly with me this year, I hand roll
    the big ones up the trailer ramp, but a dolly would make it easier , less bending & probably faster.

    Some quality wood there.
    Looking good
    :yes:

    Great job! I've got a few rounds like those sitting on the driveway. Now I know my 22 ton Oregon should be able to handle them.

    Good job, HDRock. I like the way you pile the chunks in pic #3 - neat and orderly every step of the way.

    That's a coon killer pile, I found one dead before, under the rounds he knocked down on himself, wasn't much left of him, pretty flat, threw him in the fire pit with the brush pile.
