Well,
I dug out "old trusty" today. I have some serious firewood to cut.

Its to stinking hot to run a chain saw around here. I need to borrow that saw though. I had a Cottonwood come down across the horse corrals a year ago. All I could do is get it cut up enough fr the D4 to push it out of the way.
 
Nick,
Did my shipment make it to you? If not it should arive by Thursday. On another note, it has made 90 here the last 3 days, with thunderstorms each aternoon, Actually I have been cutting firewood the last two days. It's been real nice up in the woods until about 2:00 each aternoon. Then the wrath of nature decends, but I have been able to make it back to cover before the clouds start leaking real bad.

When you get older and wiser you will do fire wood Sep to Dec,April and May are good if the snow goes off.
 
ACG, you apparently missed my e-mail to you a couple of weeks ago. Would like to place another order. You still doing that?
 
I agree, I have been splitting some this summer but not since it warmer up. Usually hit it again about the time the deer flies are gone and finish up Thanksgiving weekend. Would like to get a carry all for my 3pt but will settle for my 80 inch loader bucket.
 
Me thinks you're trying to play mind games with us with that pic. BTW, I got a good bit of firewood cut, split and stacked while the weather was cool the past month or so, way too hot lately.
 
I always thought when you get older and wiser you quit burning wood. As least that is what my friend did when his kids got married. Quit burning wood and called the gas man.
 
Waiting until my soybeans are off, then take a break about deer season, try to finish up in January. Not cutting in the summer--too many biting, itching critters in the woods.
 
A house just blew up in Yarmouth Me.Propane blew a duplex to tooth picks.I use some wood, need 600 gallons of fuel oil a 3.65.Ill burn wood as long as Im able.Average oil usage is 1000 gal per house hold.Oil usage has dropped 25% in Maine.
 
im already at it too,but right now i buck the wood on a cloudy day, and split a tractor bucket load in the hour just before dark each day, too hot around here to do it any earlier in the day[ "a tractor bucket" is about 1/3 chord and is the standard unit of measure around here]
 
Shipment hasn't made it here yet. I'll look for it today.
Next time you ought to deliver it, spend the night, then go on out to Gillette. lol
 

well I have been helping with,and been making firewood since I was old enough to pick up a stick. I'm retired now and cut at my leisure to an extent, but the two dragons in the sugarhouse devower a lot of wood each spring when we make syrup. As you see in the pic., my tool kit comes with a chair so the saw can take a break after it runs thru a tank of gas, HeHe.
I built the jib pole with winch from steel Kibota crates so I don't have to lift heavy blocks up onto the splitter any more. The winch is a HF #55.00 special w/remote control. It also works real well to pull the logs out of the piles that I make after freeze up, each year. Also the hay was cut last week and I have to get these log piles done before it regrows too much. There are four of them along the edge of the field. Also notice that I picked a pile that was in the shade.

I use a carry all at times but the front end gets light with much wood on it.My trailer holds a 1/2 cord of sawed wood.I saw up in the woods with a pto shaft drive saw.
