This tree was over the road and blocked my usual route this morning. I went back after work and the tree had been bucked and pulled off the road. I want to say it is pig nut hickory but I'm not as versed as others on the forum. Thanks.
I am already loading all my gear in the truck for tomorrow after work. People were looking at me like i was insane, it was pouring rain and I was chucking all I could into the bed from the ditch.
Another two truck loads of 16 inch trunk and a decent amount of 5 or 6 inch limbs. I was so pizzed I drove my wife's gas saver to work. I drove half an hour home and half an hour back with the 2500, well worth it. I'm coming prepared tomorrow.
im almost always in my PU and if i ever put wood in the back of our Murano, she would have my head. It does much better on gas so i will use it on occasion for errands. Sometimes the PU has stuff in back as well. Hats off for going back and in the rain as well. A true dedicated hoarder! Hope the rain holds off tomorrow for you!
I took the pick up to work and cut as much as I could right after work. My back is feeling it. I forgot how much higher up my 2500 is than my 89 f150, its gotta be the better part of a foot. Even the 16 inch splits were pushing what I could lift into the bed. Holy cow hickory is heavy. There is probably two more truck loads of fore wood I could not see it yesterday through all of the branches/leaves. I'm going to try the smaller truck tomorrow, less wood but easier on the back. I'm four years ahead but this is too good to pass up.
