Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Rockbadchild]

There is something about being in the forest that helps us mentally or even looking at one, you add a fire to that and its better then any pill or therapy, in the forest (at least for me) there is no stress, no time (only hours before daylight or sunset) no worries... just life, nature and what need to be done and what's left to do. Then you put a tractor in the mix and what else can you ask for?

Looking at nature photos can improve mental health

Me this weekend for six hours helping a buddy of mine clear out drought stricken fur trees that was dying, then skidding them 1/4 mile away next to the road to be taken to the mill.

I love this thread. I’m not sure why, I cut some firewood, maybe 2 chords a year at the most but I like looking at other peoples pictures. Rockabadchild’s picture with the dogs, snow and tractor is a good one.

That says it all for me too.

The leaves on the ground by that stump appear to be Red Oak?

Did another 2 face cords today. I have a couple of hours of work left and I am done processing all the wood I have except the logs that are too big or twisted for the processor.

Will need to order another 20 loggers cords and be ready for spring next year. Then if the weather holds out, I will clear space to store another 20 logger cords. 40 loggers cords should get me 35 cords of wood.

Bidding on a city truck with an 8 ft dump box. It will carry two face cords loose stacked.

Love making firewood.

I got a pleasant surprise today. My log trucker sent me the hemlock pulp check for the pulp we cut a few weeks back and gross pay is up to $49/ton. Quite an increase compared to pine which was $30/ton last year.

About the only thing that hemlock and pine pulp are good for here is biomass... and you have to be close to the buyer to make it worthwhile.

The pine pellet mill is only about 25 miles from my landing but the hemlock paper mill is an hour and a half. My trucker is a straight shooter and charges a fair rate. And with the triaxle and pup trailer he can haul a big load
