Buying the wood is half the cost of propane. I used to cut the wood myself right here on my property. But I'm busy with building a business and I don't have the time. So I've been buying wood the last couple years. I don't do much processing. I use the grapple on my skid and pick up 3 or 4 logs and drive over to the boiler building. I set the grapple to waist height, get out, cut the rounds to length and let them fall on the ground. From there, they go directly in the boiler. In 1 hour I can cut enough to last a week. I don't split, don't stack, etc.
Sometimes I'll fill the tractor bucket and dump the rounds into the storage room in the boiler building. Depends on what I feel like doing.
Eventually I'm going to build a wood processor that will be a skid steer attachment. For now, I do it the old fashioned way.
