Moved off our big job just before Christmas to new lot that needs to be cut before spring. Our landing is in the front yard right next to the driveway so space is tight. Started off well then had a flat along with subzero temps. The Joy of logging. This weekend we worked 5 hour Saturday and 5 hours today and here's the result.

The whole working area of the landing is off camber, what a PIA

That should be about 25 cords of Aspen pulp ready to go. We already shipped 25 cords so far this year. When we get all the Aspen cut we will start on the white pine and some hardwood in between.
That really looks like a tidy landing.
Around here it's all mud. >:(
Looks good thanks for sharing the pics! Does your 240 have 23.1 tires?
No mud here, -20F on Weds, -10F Thurs, Fri got up to +6, Sat reached +13 and today was a balmy +15. Nice not having mud, only sharpened 3X for all that wood.
The 240 has 23.1's that are pretty worn but with new ice chains on the back it goes good but doesn't steer to well, the front rings are 5 years old.
looks like your making good use of this cold weather
This lot has the potential to get muddy really fast but everywhere you go it freezes right up, for now.
