Found this on craigslist about 2 miles up the street from me. Just bucked them and rolled them right to my truck. The hardest part was lifting these suckers into my truck by myself.

It was two truck loads of wood. To put it into perspective how large they are, the gas can in the back is a 5 gallon can!

Looking forward to getting the log splitter out this weekend and going to town.

Looks like you got the 2500 to squat a little with that load!

You could haul more wood if you put a blue oval on the front of that truck

JK - Nice score!
Those sure are big rounds. Do you cut to 16in length or longer?

you should have called Olongarm on this site ........he lives real close to you
He is a worjking machine and could have lifted those rounds with no problem.
Nice score

It's hard to tell from the pic but she was about maxed out. It felt like I was dragging my butt on the ground driving home

They were anywhere from 16" to 20". I was eye balling with the bar on my saw and trying to get them around 16". Some of the rounds were already bucked to stupid lengths (i.e. 22 inches) so that you either get 2 11" inch logs or one 16" and one 6".

I'd go with with one 16 and a 6. Shorts are good for daytime fires or spring/fall. A sawbuck is nice for trimming multiples at one time.

That's going to be shoulder season wood (tulip poplar)....I wouldn't get too hung up on packing your stove tight for an overnight burn. Just cut them to what ever stacks the best for you.

Yeah, they looked like poplar to me. Green tint to the grain in the center.
