Working over a creek

Felling then dragging out, made for a long day but very productive.

 

Looking Great! Looks like a gorgeous day to work outside

 

Good work there Rains. What type of equipment you using to pull those logs? Pics of it? We like pics of equipment!

 

Thanks guys, the wood is maple and black oak. There is some elm further down, there is about 60 trees total. Yea I didn't think of taking a picture of the truck its s Ford diesel one ton.

 

Welcome to FHC Rains.
Nice work taking down a few trees. Looks
like you have a nice staging area there, nice
pile of rounds.
Looks like farmland behind your work area
and a lot of the trees have lost their leaves already.

What are you running for saws and what are you splitting with?

 

pulled them over to a flat area. there was a bean field on the other side but to muddy for truck. The saws are a 362 c and a 455 Rancher with a 345.
I ran the 362 mostly its new and wanted to give it a good work out. It didn't fail to make me smile !!

 

SWEEETTTT.............

 

Where you at here in "The Peoples Republic of Illinois", Rains??? I'm in the Chain-O-Lakes area...............Lake Villa to be exact.

Remember this.................."Tis better to be working over a creek than working "up a creek"!!!!

 

We live on Candlewick Lake, the trees are just North of Rockford.

yea just glad my boots didn't leak lol it

 

You have a career in front of you.
60 trees that big will keep you busy for a long time.
Keep the pics coming.

Gonna have one, huge, long stack of firewood .

 

I'm hoping ten trees per day with two running saws, I will leave the rest in logs when the ground freezes. when I can get to the back side of the field.

 

WOW
10 trees a day
Fell, limed & bucked up.
Long days & Ibuprofen time

I was getting 5 to 6 per day , not that big &
Was off loading the trailer at home in the dark.

Like you, I like the hard work but was having fun too

 

With two of us cutting, three boys pulling bride stacking it was still a long day. The pain was dragging them over to the cutting area.

We would drop and limb two at a time.

 

That's a lot of wood! You have access to it all?

 

Once the ground hardens up or freezes I will

 

We were doing 8-10 cords a day, 2 guys hand felling and skidding with a 6x6. I guess I work at a more fasterer pace haha!
