Loaded truck pics.

Delivered one row of very old oak to my son this past weekend.


Definitely good to go, lol.

 

I'm up for adoption...

 

Mixed load of sugar maple, beech, and black birch.

 

Some recent loads and a new process I'm trying . And altering. Trying to find the most efficient way to produce a cord of split wood with the equipment I have.
Having the truck parked beside the splitter trailer makes for not as far a toss for the splits . But I get more bounce backs .
And the first load of rounds I loaded with the new Rock grapple bucket . What an awesome attachment it is !!

 

Sorry the last 2 aren't of loaded truck. Only have a bit of time this morning before going to work . Started a new job this week . So will only be doing firewood on my off days . But also got a partial timber sale last week . So I won't run out of wood any time soon.

 

Load of mostly ash and a some red oak

 

Nice load and even nicer wood hauler. What year? I owned a 1986 F150 until 2001.

BTW welcome to the FHC Great to have you.

 

Thank you, it's great to be here. It's a 1990, 302 with a e4od trans. It's a tough truck too say the least.

 

Finally got out to cut this morning, the mountain roads have finally melted off. I would love to post pics but the screenshot trick that worked last time no longer works. Any other ideas?

 

It seems to have worked this time.

 

Been helping my Dad all week cut up and split a couple of bigger trees that fell at his one farm. One was a 36" diameter Bitternut Hickory and the other was a close to 4' diameter Sugar Maple. Figure got close to 12 cord of splits from those and a couple of 2' diameters they took out. I took off this morning and cut some standing dead ash at my place. First time this year it's been dry enough to get down there. Springs are dialed in now so I won't have to go with air bags. After lunch I helped him start cleaning up all the brush as they fell in the field. Dad is 88 now and still likes working up wood. I'm am glad for the Catersplitter and trying to work up those big rounds would have gone a lot slower and be a lot harder on us.

 

Nice load of wood! What species is in the stack?

 

It’s all white oak.

 

Sorry I shouldve been more specific. I meant the stack in the shed. The yellowish cut ends caught my attention.

 

Yes, all of the wood I have is white oak. I burnt all of the red oak I had this winter. Just got back with another load, a little smaller than yesterday.

 

Still having problems loading pictures.

 

All white oak.

 

Another load of white oak this morning. It was beautiful in the woods but a little windy!
