I was doing pretty good, was about half way done. But the last couple of weeks we have been deluged with rain. Da woods is mighty wet right now. So I have been busy with other stuff till it drys up some.   :-\

Just about done fillin' my woodshed.  One more load will do it but I'll cut more as needed til the snow comes


After 1 load


The "new" firewood trailer.  We picked it up for $35.00 at an auction last spring.  I traded the local tire guy  pumpkins for a used tire, tube and changing it.  Worked good for me.  The apron chain and mechanism are all functional and it works pretty slick to unload off the back, kick the PTO on and engae the chain to move the load back. 8)


The spreader upon arrival at Whittaker Farms


Backed in to unload


Halfway full


After nine spreader loads.  There will be five full rows with about 3 1/2 + face cord when I'm done.  The fifth one is half done 8)


The wood hog ;D 8) 8)  It likes wood but the house is always warm.

 ;) Well, you have enough for the first month. :D

hey i got the same battery charger!

how long does it take that apron chain to unload? can you hit the pto, run back and stack the wood before it hits the ground? :D  we use a dump wagon to unload, but im lookin for an old spreader to push wood into the house.

The ratchet pawls are worn on this mechanism so it only pushes back at fast and faster ;D.  I was hoping to be able to leave the apron on at a slow speed and unload as the wood came back but it works good this way too.  We just unload what we can reach easily and then run it back and unload some more.  It doesn't take long to have the wood at the back again.  I suppose I could get a new pawl for it but that would probably cost more than I paid for the whole machine :   I like that battery charger 8)  I paid $50.00 for it new when the Quality Farm and Fleets went under a few years ago.  Really like the 200 amp boost 8) 8)

Here's the pile from 2 years ago, couldn't find my 2005 pile pic.  Just imagine this 75 cord pile plus 15 more cords snugly filling a 45x35' shed with a 12' face.  We sold about 120 cords this year, for $230 a cord.
