I'm thinking about pulling the log splitter back into the woods and hauling out split firewood, but my neighbor tells me if I do that I'll only get half as much wood on the trailer.







I disagree; you'll get more on the trailer and you can spent more time out in the woods. Plus you will have fewer wood piles in the yard.

 

I use something similar to what they sell on Northern Tool. It is a logging Arch with a hand crank winch to lift the front of the log and a second axle with a chian on it to slip under the back of the log and chain in place. That way the log it totally off the ground (approximately 8inches) and I do not get dirt ground into it so I don't have to sharpen my bandsaw blades as much when cutting the log into lumber.

When I am done I use a saw horse and chainsaw to cut the log sides into firewood and I never have to split wood.

I would put a link on here to it but I can't find it on their web site just in their 08 catalog.

SEMPER FI! i got out about 8 years ago I served with 2/8

 

Semper Fi Arctic Hunter. I have always been out here on the left coast, so have never served in 8th Marines.

 

Yah been out there a few times, but honestly can't say that I miss it out there alway's to hot for me! more of a colder climate guy myself

 

It's not too bad by the coast, but I sure don't care for the 'stumps. I like the cold as well, but it is very hard to find jobs back there that pay like they do here. Prolly end up back there eventually; or at the very least we'll end up buying a house or building a cabin.

 

beleive it or not even being stationed in Lejune, the thing I missed the most was the fall and winter season's

 

Yeah, the seasons is one thing we do not have here in So Cal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I do get to ride my Hawg all year though...
