Firewooding 2020-2021 Season

You don't have to land the tree on her...

Same one playing soccer tomorrow!

I too may have some firewood soon if anybody wants to come pick it up.

Moms place just sw of Royalton. County sent her a letter they are sending cams up her worthless drain tile. She is afraid they are going to tell her she needs to cut down a bunch of trees. She doesnt have the cash to pay a tree service, and I dont have the truck to move the wood. (But I do have a very nice old school Stihl and the skills to fell them)

So if push comes to shove and somebody needs the wood, there may be some available.

I have 6 more rick on standby in my north wood yard for a total of 30 ready for the boiler. I'm on wood vacation until after deer season.

Hauling and splitting today, tired already.

Went to the woods with my grandkids last evening. Lots of trees down. Mostly ash.. cutting on Saturday.. finally.

 

[Leadeye]

Split and stacked today, got a lot done, but everything hurts. Pain killer on the rocks tonight and then some sleep.

 

[tmschuller]

It fell in the early morning and I pushed it off the road.. funny thing was it was leaning away from the road..

 

[Leadeye]

Split up more of the hickory today, going out tomorrow to cut more of it up. It's a big tree, the old 046 Stihl will have it's work cut out for it. Told the gardener that we may have to look at a bigger saw as the trees keep getting bigger. She said that's just tool envy.

046? You just need a longer bar. GMCTTR gave me a 25" for the 041 farm boss and boy, is it nice.

I like the 046, a little heavy, but it goes through trees like a lightsaber.

Yup the 041 when it's sharp puts the new saws in their place.

OK! So, that was a bit of a surprise. 3 ricks spoken for within 12 hours of posting the thread. Seems I need to increase production this winter to address my supply chain issue!

Taking down this tree close to the barn.. it’s split down the middle of the Y. I took half down last night and just dropped the other 10 minutes ago. 25” bar wouldn’t get thru it at the base
Cut and wedged it and we had a truck attached to it with a cable. Whew! Lots of counter weight but it’s down!

 

[tmschuller]

Here’s when it hit the earth..
