Whew, it's no wonder I'm tired at night after making firewood at this pace! HAHA!
 
LOL... if one could work at this speed, you would be able to sell about 30 cord c/s/d a day and put the professional wood handlers out of business.
 
I just knew Wisconsin had a meth problem! Cool vid quads! Cheers!
 
Wow. Even I dont work that fast,though 15 yrs ago it was close. :vampire:

Rockstar Tropical Punch Energy Drink FTW!!! :coolgrin:
 
Hope your wood doesn't burn that fast. Cool video! Your hired.
 
Quads, in the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy, you know how to "Git R Done!"...great vid!
 
Awesome video and good going! It took you 25 seconds to what I do in a day. Was gonna ask how many Mountain Dews it took, but the coffee offer already posted. Hope your stove burns slower than you do.
 
Thanks! HAHA! I thought you guys would get a kick out of my 'high-speed' video! It takes me less than an hour to make a load of wood like that, usually about 45 minutes, but it took me two hours to figure out how to put all that footage together that I shot while making that load! HA! Well, now I know how to do it. And since then I have figured out how to get rid of the annoying black border around it too, although too late for this video.

Quads; firewood cutter, producer, director, editor............well done!
 
I see you have slowed down in your advancing years. :) Great wood work and video work. I agree, it should have had music and Benny Hill would have been appropriate.
 
And I thought by now you'd be slowing down.
What's in your coffee?

Awesome video
 
HA! I haven't figured out how to add music yet! Probably take me another two hours......... :)
 
Neat video quads. It must seem good working without so much snow this year. I thought we might have gotten some frost in the ground but not much. Went back today to cut one that needs to come out when the ground is frozen. No luck. Still mud in there. Must be the snow was enough insulater but maybe it will freeze up this week. Cold coming tomorrow again but I could hardly believe today got to 45 again.

Dennis it was 9 °F when I left for work this morning, it is almost 40 degrees here right now! started snowing on the way home from work, turned to sleet, then frezing rain, now just rain. Supposed to get up in the mid to upper 40s tomorrow, back down to freezing for a day or two and back up to the low 50s toward the end of the week.....I am just plain disgusted with the weather here too! I have lots of standing deads on the neighbors farm (not to mention 4 huge locusts at a job in a neighboring town) that I need the ground to be froze to get to. Plus we do maple syrup in the spring and this weather is not to our advantage. Gonna be a horrible season if we don't soon get a couple weeks of good, hardcore cold weather.....
 
Scotty, I've been wondering what the syrup will be like this spring. It does seem like in the past the run has not been bad because it seems like it gets cold later with many cold nights and that helps a lot. Time will tell though what this spring will bring. Good luck.

We'll have to wait and see....my biggest concern right now is I depend on that standing dead stuff and blowdown junk to fire my homemade evaporator, and I cannot get up on the farm to get it. I use my snowmobile to get the wood home and to collect the sap off of the farm, and we haven't gotten any snow yet. I usually have three to five cord of junk wood cut split and piled up by now for the syrup run...right now I have maybe a cord, starting to panic! I can use some of my good wood, but I hate to take it off of my heating wood pile. anyway I'll post pics once we get the season under way, hopefully within the next three weeks....
 
Scott, maybe it is time to get an atv?
