Wolc123, I like that lamp. A chair and a couple of magazines and you have a place to hang out.
Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Not my tractor, not my other-forum post...
There are a few members who are set up with limb risers and improved protection.
Wouldn't you know, the one I am sure about doesn't have the username I thought he did.
Another member, now retired from TBN had his Kubota set up like it was a skidder... complete with winch on the roll bar for when the load was too much for his 3 pth.

Today was a picture perfect day. Shipped some stud-wood to the log yard.
This load is 565 BF by my measure. Mostly 12's with a couple 14's.

That's a good load on your truck, especially with them sticking out the back.
Probably close to 3 tons, fir is heavy this time of year.

So I finally got done what was supposed to be my October project (life got in the way) all the wood is off the ground now. First time I tried dropping into totes, I usually stack it:

What’s your plan for getting it out of the totes.

Oh, hard to see but each one has a door cut into the side, I put the doors together while filling so wood wouldn't fall out.

I noticed these two blowdowns a few years back and finally got to them today before the super bowl. Nice to deal with some smaller trees for firewood.

Burned through about 3.5 face cords here in southern Michigan so far this winter. Really only had about 10 days of actual deep winter, during late January.
I normally toss my logs into a pile and cut away at them over time (see behind the tractor). But I had a bigger diameter maple log my neighbor gave me, so figured I would hold it up in the air to cut - definitely easier on the back.
I'm not a huge strong guy, so picking up 100 lb rounds off the ground is not something I ever plan on doing. First time trying this method of just plucking them off the ground with my forks, worked very well! Just a lot of getting on and off the tractor.
I'm not sure why my log splitter decided to puke some hydraulic oil.... didn't do it for very long so I just kept running it. Pretty badly neglected machine overall, I'm embarrassed to say. A few ounces of gas into the tank, one shot of ether into the intake, and it fires right up and runs fine to split logs.
And not exactly tractor related, but some of my firewood goes into boiling sap. Earliest maple sap season that anyone can recall around here.
I like to build a refridgerator for storing my sap. Not sure it's really necessary, but it feels like the right thing to do to keep it fresh until I boil. Anyone else?
