Pine Split On 10/3/16

I split the pine we took down the other day, we had four bucket loads which will get stacked next week. I'm thinking we have 3-4 face cord from what's in the pile.

 

The picture of the tree is about the only one I saw with color and the last two pictures are the pile of mostly pine with some hemlock.

 

Seems to me you have the hang of running your bucket. Are you still thinking about getting a plow before winter? Awesome pic's as always! I'm very jealous.

 

What model/size is your tractor?

 

So I am thinking a face cord is 8' long 4' tall and 16" wide. Is that correct.

Everything looks wet there, it is a good thing you got it split up. Looking good.

 

It's a Mahindra 4540 with a 41 horse diesel.

 

Yes I am, it all depends on the price.

 

Yes on the face cord except I cut ours 15 inches.

 

It's in but the tractor will go in next week for the 50 hour checkupand then come back with the backhoe on it.

 

Yep I cut my wood 15 to 15.5 inches long also to fit the stove that I have here.

 

Back before I measured out the log before I bucked it up, I had cut a round to long and the wife had a problem getting the split in the wood stove so after that I mark out each round so it's 15 inches.

 

Do you cut to 15 inches so you can load the Liberty N/S ?

 

Yes, but that gives us extra room so we don't worry about the wood hitting the glass.

 

Pine? Pine? Shoot boy! You gonna burn yo house down'round yo ears if'in you's burn dat pine in da woodstove! Didn't yo daddy raise you up no better'n dat?!?

Nice work! Nice tractor!

 

My son-in-laws 18yo boy decided to shut the door anyway even though the wood didn't quite fit.
