    We have been hoarding wood a long time, looks like 2015 is when I started taking:ithappened:...
    Here's some of our improvements.
    Started out with the MS029 my dad bought new, then we bought the MS362 new. IMG_20190105_174533248.jpg
    The MS362 putting in some work... 20150129_101348.jpg My fellow FHC enablers have helped the saw tree/corner expand to 7 now... received_183972874407074.jpeg
    We got the 16' trailer in '07... 20150827_185211.jpg
    Feb '18 we added the dump trailer IMG_20180226_184843463.jpg
    Started out on '07 with just the loader bucket on the Kubota, 2 hooks, chain and tongs 20150129_105644.jpg
    Later I was able to get a set of forks to fit on the bucket... IMG_20190327_032339.jpg
    In Feb '21, we were finally able to convert loader to Quick Attach and get a grapple and regular forks 0205211719.jpg
    We started out with a Yard Machine 25 ton splitter that my FIL sold my dad, in probably '99-2000, I know my hunny put in a lot of seat hrs on it IMG_20180616_180258.jpg
    In Sept, '18, we finally upgraded to the County Line 30 ton... IMG_20180905_180637214.jpg
    Later, figured out how to add ramps... 0306201508.jpg
    Our big splitter upgrade came in Sept '22, when a deal came along on this...Wolfe Ridge 28HO and conveyor 0204231042_HDR.jpg
    We have also added a few sheds and about 12-14 IBC totes for storage... 1021220953_HDR.jpg
    It's been a journey, but thankful for the Lord's blessings...a wife the helps me and my FHC family that enables...err...encourages me.
