First we fell the tree then buck it up. Most times we haul the wood out on the little atv trailer because it is the easiest way to get the wood out. But sometimes we do take out log loads. When the wood is bucked we simply stack it up and wait until spring before splitting it. This way we get the splitter out one time only and do all the splitting then rather than getting it out after each time we bring wood out. After splitting comes the stacking. After stacking we leave it until late fall or early winter then top cover it. Then we wait for Mother Nature to dry the wood before burning it. The last picture is just a few of our wood stacks.
Here is my process "most" of the time. I like to get all my rounds cut in the woods and hauled and stacked in my splitting / stacking area. I'm probably handling the wood a little more than I should but this way I concentrate on getting wood in while the weather cooperates then split anytime. Go easy on me as this was my first attempt at a video like this.
Nice video, and looks like you have a great arsenal of tools to get the job done right! Thanks for sharing. LG Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
MMfrompa, for your first video like that, I'd say you nailed it. That is a great piece of property you have.
Everyone's got some pretty nice set ups! I usually try to get everything cut to length load it in the truck then try to stack all the rounds in rows at home for splitting. Then I do my splitting and stacking when the temperature is 45 or less can't stand heat and bugs! I normally split into the wheelbarrow then idle the splitter and stack. Saves bending down for the splits. Sometimes I end up just splitting into a big pile near where I'm going to stack though if I'm not stacking into the racks and just stacking to stack like today
