Today I split and brought home the last load of firewood from trees that I dropped, skidded to landings and loaded out. The woodshed is housing 21 full cord of wood, and I have a partial load left over.
Geese, maybe I will go back up to the woods and drop another dead tree and make it an even 22 cord.HeHe
The wifey has been busy with the garden all summer and our freezers and pantry have enough food in them to last us for two years. Still need to go to the gocery store for staples though. (didn't harvest enough broad leaf plants such as burdocks for toilet paper). Swiss chard, Kayle, and squash leaves don't work too well. (/////)

Adirondackcaseguy,

From young on, we heated with wood, home and water. If we wanted a warm home and a hot shower, well we'd better be prepared to cut, stack, split, and carry out ashes.

If I am seeing this right, you fall trees, then skid them somewhere to block them.

Looking at your splitter/conveyor/trailer...why do you stack on the trailer, then dump it? I stacked many cord, but would hate to do it twice. I think I'd have to let it pile on the trailer, dump it, then stack in the woodshed.

Just asking, and while I am at it, I compliment you on your operation, equipment and work ethics. Your filled woodshed must be enviable of any person who has used wood for heating.

Last question, are you one of those guys that "decorate" their woodpiles with various end cuts making a picture of sorts?

Dennis,
This winter I'm going to fab up a bigger trailer so I don't have to stack wood onto this one, to come home with a cord+ load for my days work in the woods. It should make things much faster and easier, but the new one may have a hitch on the back to hook this one to.

Everything in matching color, like it should be in period Case literature, with some influential slogan like "If you're going to have at firewood, why not the Case Wood's Package?"

Certainly some labor saving going on there, and a few steps easier than a few years back.
 

Looks good Loren !

Finally gonna get some cool weather Sat. thru all next week

I don't like doing wood when it's warm / hot.....just me

I'll be in Sharon Springs on Sunday picking up some garlic at garlic Fest with highs in the 60's
 
Well sure, our favorite blue/gray/white ford scheme... lol, have to admit my good old friend and farmer years back had a 311 round nose and I have to say it was the oddest looking tractor to me as a kid then, but the grill has kind of a facial expression to it almost, and the paint colors I thought was pretty sharp. I can remember it working on this farm, usually towing a haywagon or similar, just like it was yesterday. He was mainly a john deere guy, but he did have some others at different times. It was always cool to see one of those in the field. Sometimes, he would use one for work his new JD ones usually did, I think just for nostalgia sake.
 
Yeah- if you rub your bum with Canadian thistle, the pain will make you forget all about your hemorrhoids.

And then there was the guy who bought some Prep H suppositories- was complaining to his friend, "Yeah, I took those horse boluses for a month, and for all the good it did me, I might as well have shoved them up my . . ." (well, you get the idea).
 
Excellent set-up. Known fact; you burn a LOT of firewood. Don't know how old you are (probly over 30), but jeez man, how long do you think you can put out that much effort . We still burn wood in an airtight, but I buy it now . Best thing I EVER did (other than hooking up my SWMBO) is having a heat exchanger-AC unit in the shack. 1 more year and it will have paid for itself (4 years)
 
Elevator has a hyd. orbit motor and hoses couple to the splitter cyl. with quick couplers. When cyl. hits the end of the return stroke, oil flow goes to elevator. There is a oneway flow check in the power stroke side of spliting cyl., so the oil can't feed to the orbit motor during the splitting cycle. All controlled with the single spool splitter valve, and elevator only runs when I hold the lever back.
