Tractors and wood! Show your pics

PHPaul · Feb 13, 2014

Occasionally, I'll go after a deadfall.

But usually, I get an 8 cord load of tree length delivered

Then I browbeat my daughter and grandkids into helping me split it.

And my Brother-in-Law and I stack a year's supply undercover.

But I try to stay a year ahead so as to have plenty of seasoned wood.

And I'm enjoying it right now! :dance1: :thumbsup: :laughing:

it is a concrete trough but it is the right height with a 6x6 across it on one end and a 2x6 on the other so that i can run the chainsaw mill without being on the ground or rigging up something else to hold the log up. http://s938.photobucket.com/user/terryknight/media/wood/017.jpg.html http://s938.photobucket.com/user/terryknight/media/wood/015.jpg.html

Great idea!

I don't cut firewood, but just saw this video on facebook (no you don't need an account there). It does require flash player in your browser though.

This looks like the slickest setup I can imagine.

Guesseral;

Your 841 is really nice. Did you do the restore?

PH Paul I LOVE your tractor. Anything with articulation and BIG equal sized tires turns me on. I saw the JD literature when they went on that tangent, but never thought it would look so Horny in REAL life!

That tire size beats a Steiner all to hel!

The ONLY thing that matters in Rubber Tired Equipment is:

TIRE SIZE, TIRE SIZE, TIRE SIZE!

Thanks! It doesn't have a lot of ground clearance, but with the articulation you just run a wheel over anything you can't straddle.

With the 9 speed and the locking front differential, it's a beast. That little 20 HP one-lunger diesel just keeps donking away.
