Progress on the 2018/19 Wood Supply.

Dustin has been a big help getting my wood supply cut, split, and stacked in the wood shed. Looks like about 4 more loads to go and the wood shed will be full. The big trailer behind the 830 holds a little over a chord of wood when stacked. The smaller one behind the 300 holds a bit less than a cord, so both add up to 2 cords.
The pile under the tailgate in last pic is "lunkers" They are short blocks and pieces that don't stack well. I just throw them in a pile and burn them first when heating season begins. They make good heat and are not wasted, or left in the woods to rot.

I've asked before - how far do you travel for your wood ? AND, is it your own woods ? AND, is it sustainable into the future ? Simple minds inquire. ;^)
 
I have to travel about 1.5 miles to the back of the woods. There is about 35A where I cut, and I only cut downed and disabled trees. I skid the firewood logs to several landings in the woods to reduce skidding distances and damage to trees along the woods roads. I use my Kubota B2150 with 3pt. skidding arch to get the logs to the landings. It is small, and leaves very little collateral damage. You would be hard pressed to find where I cut trees in the woods for my firewood supply. I also skid out the tops with limb wood down to 1-1/2" so not much left in the woods. Just a small pile of limbs for a deer to hide behind. This woods has been harvested for a hundred years with sustainable practices that my dad taught me, so yes it is sustainable. It has been at least 30 years since it was harvested for timber. Same with the 60A sugar, bush, that is across a field from where I cut.

That is a really good start. I should get my wood cut ahead like that but it is hotter them blue blazes here right now.
 
Ya, I love your pictures and nice equipment, painted to also look really nice.

On your Swiss-Army-Case, how are the Chain Saws Mounted? Is that a piece of plywood with slots in it or something else? Do they bounce around or are they further stabilized with a sheath around the blades? If so what is the sheath made of?
