Well Im 58 years old & have been around a
wood burner since I was in diapers. I have
electric baseboard backup & a Clayton wood
furnace in my basement & right now it's about .
85° at my desk as I type. It's a mild 32°
outside. We farm around 350 acers & there's
more wood that rots in out fence rows than I
can burn.
To save time, this is why I have 10 wood wagons.
Once I load them in the woods or on a fence
row I don't empty it until it's backed up to
my wood room, I've burnt 2 loads so far this
season. 4 Of my wagons are old Ford trk frame
with a 8' box, All of them have a 4x4 acrost
the spring perch to keep them up out of the
mudd when loaded.. All my loads are ranked 3'
about the sides & when I put the wood on the
wagon it will fit in furnance. 2 wagons are
old New Holland tank spreader with the end
cut out, another is from a John Deere H spreader
tongue with jack & 33 spreader axle, It sports a
52" X 10' bed 28" high sides. 2 are just 4x8'
box wagons & the last is a 7'x10' old flat bed
froma 1 ton trk that has 24" sides. I run a
single wheel tandem axle under that one. In the
spring I should have 5 empty wagons. For the
most part each one I put a full cord on. When
I offer wood , everyone wants it, but they want
me to deliver it, ^& I think some might even
want me to put it in their stove? I will cut
wood in January & Febuary between chore time.
If the snow is too deep to pull a wagon home?
I just leave it there, the snow will melt I
have other empty wagons. I park these beast out
of sight, but I do try to make them look good
with paint.. So right now there is 8 loads
of ranked fire wood, Beach, Oak, Shagbark
hickory a a load of maple when it starts to
get warmer all in my back yard, Just incase
the snow gets too deep to get the loads to my
wood room. All are up on old planks so they
don't leave hole/dips in the yard.
I use the Little John Deere M alot for wood
sometimes I use one of the J/D60's.... Some
place in my posession I have a picture of a
John Deere B, M, A, 2 60's, 620, 630 hooked
to my 10 wagons, some of the bigger tactors
were pulling 2 at a time, I call the picture
"Winter's Warmth"
