Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Sawyer Rob]

Well, it's time to get this load of Ash split!

and as a friend came over and offered to help, we drove the tractor/splitter out to the wagon and got after it, (with some "snain" delays in between lol)

On the bigger rounds, we just pushed them through the 4-way,

Then flip what was left on top of the 4-way, over back onto the beam and push it through the 4-way again,

This splitter has some serous power and easily pushes EVERYTHING through the 4-way, so it made fast work of that load of rounds, giving me a nice big pile of splits!

As this firewood is for the 2018/19 heating season, that pile will sit right until next summer and then be boxed for the following fall...

Next, I have my eye on some big oak!

I've got some big oak, but the second picture is about as big as I want to deal with.

That’s around the size it’s a hassle to split, I have cut on trees big enough a 25in bar wouldn’t make it threw on either sides, that was a big ash I believe.

The smaller one is about 22". That's a little bigger than I prefer, but I managed by myself. That big one is 40". I haven't needed wood that bad yet.

i like splitting the big rounds no one else wants them

Thanks guys...

Terry, I really like the BIG pieces too, and if you handle them right, they aren't such a big deal to work with. You just have to work smarter, not harder!

Let the tractor do the lifting, we cut them right over a wagon, no lifting!

You can do the first split with a chainsaw, or if you have a good/strong splitter just move the splitter to the elevated rounds. We roll them right on to the splitters beam, and let the splitter handle them,

IF they are really big, I just get a helper to help me roll the big pieces over the top, back on to the beam for re-splitting,

Those BIG rounds make a fantastic pile of splits FAST!

I remember I spoke to a few of you before about 3 pt logging winches. I see the uniforest winches have a deal on right now. For a 35 m, it is $2995 American plus 400 shipping That's American cash. I see a used farmi 351 for sale for Canadian 2500. It would cost be probably 400 to go get it. That's Canadian.
Any questions I should ask about the farmi and its condition. I know little of these 3pt winches. I know the uniforest dealer. He's a good guy, and solid great winches. Maybe better then he famous farmi. Any thoughts.?

 

[VroomVroom]

Hudson would deliver. Personally next fall possibly. I do favour the the uni- , but farmi is used and thus a little cheaper for me right now
