Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Oldpath05]

A buddy of mine just bought a tractor powered processor. It's basically a cordwood saw that your cut piece falls into the splitting chamber, bumping a lever that cycles the cylinder pushing it off into a conveyor that can fill a trailer or pickup. It's all factory built and would be perfect for your roundwood. He paid $1000. I told him he sucks.:laughing:

I wouldn't mine seeing a picture of it,

So this is just so OP can have a chuckle about me.. he likes that you know...

I think I'm going to take down the roof on my tower, I hauled out a bunk of 1xs yesterday for roofing. My tractor was grunting and groaning a bit doing it and I started thinking about all that weight up on the top of that tower, I am not a structural engineer but I'm thinking I'm overloading the top of that deck! It is just a deer stand after all. I may cut the walls off at a good shooting height (same height as the window ledges) or leave them up, throw up some 2x6 rafters and throw a tarp or similar over them to keep me out of the rain and sun..

If I had started out with a regular footing or concrete pad and built up from there with full walls and such I'd have been ok, but its on6-6x6 posts and its just not worth the risk to me. I do go overboard sometimes.

Your cutting all that new structure off without bring it to a vote, I never seen anything that cant be braced up.... Well umbrella's are lighter but they take the clubhouse feeling out of it.

That is a novel and useful idea!!

I built mine out of scraps and odd pieces I had, and was happy with it until I saw yours. Very nice. Mine has a "bin" at the back that holds over 700 lbs of lead for ballast as I had no need for something to carry firewood. I use totes for firewood to reduce handling.

I used the same frame and I have a slight bend it in near the pins. I have not exceeded the rating but effective load goes way up when bouncing around. You should be fine with just wood in yours. You built yours strong, and the frame will yield before the wood cracks LOL

Nice job on your carry-all Revturbo. I bent mine in the same place - wrinkled the angle a little at the pins by bouncing over rough trails. I straightened it and added a little reinforcement. Also more careful and it's been OK since. I just have a 3' X 5" platform with removable stakes on a TSC frame.

Only part of the deck where we store the firewood has the corrugated fiberglass panels to keep the underside dry. During the first year melting snow from the deck and wind driven rain and snow from the sides froze some of wood on the ends of the rows. The pallets and the tarps allow the water from the deck a path away from the wood.

Makes sense..

i hope we actually get some wind driven snow for once.

Ewwwww...

Yep, already done!! Old roof structure down and new lean-to/shed style rafters are up.

You mean you finally gave up that multi angel dangle design for the better more simplistic lean-to-for-me design!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:
