Fokke,interesting. Thanks for the picture and the why.

barge your using a chain saw and a dozer  :D

Its rough.  :D :D :D  hammering off the HW on some land we own, don't want to cut the pine right now so it's not worth bringing the big iron down. Be back on it in the morning.

Maintenance and firewood the last couple days. 

 
That cab tipping takes all the work out of a miserable hose. 

 
I wish the boom system on this was a little friendlier for transport, had to tighten all the bolts up again and go thru it, quite a bit more to limb. 20" and down she is an animal. 

 
I appreciate everyone's recommendations on processors, playing phone tag with Brent Eastman right now. The problem is whatever I look at it doesn't quite fit or isn't quite as friendly as this one, that 2040 will fit if I cut the hitch and 4ft off the infeed. Bells will build me a circle saw that's "close". I've got to many irons in to many fires so not in a rush to upgrade, Dick from Comstock just dropped me off 4 bars tonight so she will be around for a bit more. 

  

 
Little clearing job for a septic system I cut the other day, all multi stem soft maple, track all the firewood out and throw in the pile, have to chip it on monday.

Barge would it not be easier to change the building than the firewood  processor

That is some stick of oak. Wow.  :D. I know of a couple around here close to that but not that big.
We have added onto this building about 5x, my sharpening room is to the left of the processor, chip cleaner in the floor, we have talked about it but unless we start from scratch it just won't work. I'm only doing 3digits worth of firewood a yr, not exactly "huge" production, couple guys around me doing 2-3000 cord. Lately the money is in loglength, got a panicked call tonight for 3lds tomorrow I'm glad I sat on that extra wood all yr.

Cut. More. Wood.  :D


  

 
Skid roads aren't friendly and pretty tight, anymore than 4 good ones and you get smashed all over turning corners, crabbed sideways sliding corners Poor girl is about to turn 12k hrs, original engine original clutch. I've been in the winch a few times but that's about it and doesn't use any fuel.

That's a  wooper !  Interesting they grow that big on sandy soil. How old is it ?

[barbender]

ehp, that is some stick! I might be able to pick one end of it and back under it, I don't know. That thing is huge!

This is about the limit that my crane will lift at full extension. That's a bucket of Balmy (aka Balsam or Black Poplar) 1/3 cord bucket over full, probably closer to 1/2 cord in that grab. Balmy is fairly heavy wood green, it's pretty waterlogged. I'd guess around 4800 pounds/cord.



A little dredging the other night, beavers made a dam out of a section of the haul road. It had a narrow corner coming into it, and then a hole on the side of the road that could've pulled a truck off the road. So I pulled some mud up and packed it in the hole. At -20°F it set up quickly My bucket had a pretty gnarly frozen mud buildup, so I went and forwarded another load of wood before I shut down for the night.



Here is our Ponsse Ergo 8w getting after it in some black spruce, with White Pine and White Cedar reserved. This job has been tough on hoses with all these crooked cedars hanging over the skid trail



And lastly, a nice winter sunset.

here in the great state on NY if you did that to a poor little beavers pond you would be put in the electric chair  :D

just stuff from today, first one is popular , sure not pretty but sound and has some size

 

[ehp]

table top log , mill scaled it at 1058 feet , 8 foot log and oak,  I cut a 8 footer off that other big oak and mill gave me a scale of 1682 feet , doyle scale  had to use chains to load that one as grapple would not even come close to going around the log

I have to get better at taking pictures. Cut a few loads the last week or so. Lots of f/w and pulp right now and into some nice pine after this week.



few logs here and there

[thecfarm]

Looks like someone is burning the midnight oil. But getting dark at 4:45 it's easy to do that.

[xalexjx]

knew we had rain and 50 deg coming in today so didnt want to skid. So wedged about three loads into the landing so I can slash today in the loader

Just went back to work for my old boss for a bit and instantly started cutting impressive hardwood. Too bad most the best trees got cut before I got the camera out. The pictures don't give these trees justice. All the logs went to China....



 
My 395 with a 20" bar and white ash.
