Cutting Wood Yesterday

Here are a few pics of the place were we are cutting wood and our set up.
This first pic is were we just finished up with and moved to the next.

This next pic is of Josh my son bringing up the last wheel barrel of wood to fish that spot and to finish for the day.

Now the next pic is the trailer loaded up as full as i was going to do it this time as it was a trial run with the new trailer set up, it seemed to work good but we have to distribute the wood different to make the load ride better.

As you can see, there was a pretty heavy load on the trailer that made the truck really squat in the back, i guess you don't know for sure how things will ride till ya try them out.

All and all we got 3 split pickup loads of wood home yesterday and a 1/2 a pickup load of kindling in the back of the truck, i think i will be able to get more home when we distribute it different the next time.

Mike, since the place where you cut wood isn't very far from where you live and you don't go very fast, Jamie suggested that you mount a hitch on the back of the trailer to tow the wood splitter with. Do you think this would work out? Let me know what you think, ok?

I have a second pickup i will be using.

That will work too... Just tow the wood splitter on the back of the other truck.. Sounds like you have it all worked out and will work good.

Mike that is a lot of work.

looks like alot of work.

I'm glad we don't have to do that...That is hard work!!!!

Man, thats alot woods, same here my dad and i have been cutting the woods. That's what my dad need alot woods for his house to keep warm inside for winter time.

put a lot of wood over ur axels mike ....it will level out ur load ...takes weight off the tounge of the trailer

A lot of hard work but nice when you are sitting by the fire drinking coffee in the winter time

Yep we do, it was just a test to see how it would work this way, i have a second pickup that i will tow the wood splitter with next time so we can do just what you said and that way the wood will be the length of the trailer and we will be able to pull more to.

Nice job Mike.Do I see a Poulan saw?Say it aint so.
