My father in law (FIL) had the firewood processor out today to work up his wood for his Central Boiler. As the awesome son in law that I am, as always I volunteered to help. FIL had a logging accident 2 years ago. He had an 18" tree clicked out caught him in the thigh broke his knee, leg in 3 places and shattered his ankle. So most of these logs have been down for 2 years plus.
My job as always was to load the processor load out table with logs with the skid-steer. FIL's Case 1840C had a gash in a tire sidewall, so we burrowed a Mustang 2076. I had to haul butt to keep up with the processor, he traded up to a Block-Buster 22-22. (rated for 22" logs 22' long, but we ran some 30"+ logs) we started a 8 am, it was 22°, and finished at 3:30 at 48°. The guy with the processor guessed it at 15-20 cords. He delivers 20 cords a week so I'll take his word.
Here are some pics... sorry I forgot to shoot any video.
