Here’s a photo of what Chris Muma delivers. I have been doing this since 1987 and it woks out great.
HA, I was scrounging through my stuff and could not find a pic. I’m glad you posted it. That is the beast. I believe they come from Gladwing and yes, he’s got a huge customer base. I know three people alone that use him and I see that truck all over the place.
It truly is a thing of beauty to see that guy unloading those. And, I might add, that guy could do brain surgery with that cherry picker. he’s damn good.
I had a little problem when he delivered this load. If you look at the picture at his back wheels on the truck they are sunk in the ground about 8 inches. This was delivered in January of 2007. I figured the ground was good and frozen by then but I was wrong. I was real concerned about him getting out since all his wheels were spinning. But being the pro that he was, he used the hydraulic stabilizers to lift the truck off the ground and put logs under the tires for traction. After about 30 minutes of work he was moving again. Next time I will get the load in the middle of summer when its good and dry.
Will he deliver to springfield ma? Nice easy bucking and splitting with that stuff! That is hotter than Spitzer’s call girl!
That truck is only allowed on the road in 3 places on earth!!!!!!!!!!! Michigan ,Canada, and Austraila ! YEEEEE HAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! Now thats a truck. How do you post pics? I’ll show you guys my wood train.
Hanko, There is a guy on craiglist offering log loads of ash/oak mixed, he is at I-75 and exit #160. he quoted me $1500 for 15 cord of $2800 for 30 cord. He is 140 mile away from me so you should be able to get it cheaper. I have a name and email address if you want. Also I believe the frost laws are on so you might have to wait to get that big a load
That extreme machine reminds me of a logging company around here that has an all-wheel drive tractor with a TRIPLE trailer setup. Only uses on a private road. And no, he doesn’t supply firewood to home owners.

That snow is what got ya. You can’t get any frost in the ground with a layer of snow. I got my last load delivered in May 2005 and there were no issues. As for right now I don’t believe he can haul as frost laws are in effect and they won’t come off for some undetermined time (it depends on what ma nature has cookin’).
If you don’t have access to a stand of woods or cannot handle the labor it is truly the easiest way to cut your own firewood. Just make sure you take the time to tumble the stack every now and then so it doesn’t come down on you. The logs are not big enough to break you like a worm but it does hurt....from what I remember
This load will last a long time for me. I am now burning the last few logs of a load that I bought in the summer of 99. With the wood being that old it was starting to get kind light but not too bad. I just used these pieces to start the fire and mix it with the newer stuff. I didn’t waste any of it. Usually I burn about 2.5 cords a year but lately I’ve been burning more in my shop. This truck load should last about 7 years. So $1700 for a load divided by 7 years = $243 year. Not too bad and I don’t have to scrounge for wood.
