The first pic is what is left this morning for me to cut and haul after work today and tomorrow.

The second is my view on the ride home yesterday. Most of you probably have seen these massive windmills.

Here is the second load. I could have hauled a bit more and I loaded it a bit back heavy. Went ok though.

im getting some loads of pin oak
175 a load its about 4 to 5 full cords
Each load about 8 loads. Is that a good
Price??? In Nj.

Others are better to answer this question but I would say that is a good deal. Is is cut/split/dry/delivered or is that log length? That is only $35 a cord

That's quite the score. Plenty of heat there but the work isn't over yet! :eek:

Heck, that's probably about what you'll be spending on saw and truck fuel. ;)

That is about right! I have filled the diesel twice now @ $75 per time. That doesnt include gas for the splitter and saw or diesel for the skid loader! It still is better than $700 to fill a propane tank that would only last a couple of months or less.

I heard that! I've got a couple of pending Pin Oak scores as well. It looks a little different than others in the Red Oak group and I'm hoping it will burn a little longer but I doubt that any difference would be noticeable...
 
Here is load #4. I just got done loading it up over noon hour.That front one will be a joy to cut and split! Work Tree Load 4.JPG
 
Big loads! You will appreciate that wood in a few years. It gives great heat but is a bear to get dried out.
 
I was thinking the same thing. No round has stopped my 22 ton TSC yet but we will see.

I came across a white oak round today that made my borrowed 35 ton TSC splitter stop dead in it's tracks. After trying different spots I got it to split into some pieces, but there so mangled an odd shaped there going in the bonfire pile.
 
Nice jag of wood, brute!! Like Backwoods Savage said, your gonna benefit BIG TIME from that wood in a couple years when it is seasone! Excellent score, I'm a tad bit JEALOUS!!
 
Thats an all time great score, now you have plenty of work to do this spring.
