free locust tree + silver maple = 22 ton huskie log splitter "pics added"

[jimosufan]

Ok pics as soon I get it all moved. Locust had 22 trunk. Best thing about this score 1.5 miles from the house. Its where I grew up as a kid. Neighbors had the locust cut down. And parents had the silver maple cut down. The maple is closer to 16" that my stove likes, however the locust will need further processing. What a killer SCORE ALL FREE except the splitter I bought. This way, with the splitter I wont have to pass up other free wood in the future.

Oh that sounds great! That splitter should be able to handle that very easy too.

Thanks Dennis, Zap. Getting ready to finish loading the rounds, and split the monster rounds so they can be moved. Trying very hard to get ahead. My goal is to have 12 cords on hand, that way I'll have seasoned wood.

big part of the trunk is split. Wow a lot lot of work for a 1 man crew. As for pics when I can figure out how to make them small enough I'll post them. I am wiped out in a good way, its amazing how much wood it takes to make a cord. Curious to see what I get out of the Locust tree. Lots of 16" rounds to split, and others to buck yet. Those 22" to 24" trunk pieces sure can make a lot of splits, One of them took me an hour to get split. Haven't even touched the silver maple yet, but the guys who fell it bucked in 16 to 18 rounds, should go much faster. Btw I need a bigger saw, maybe next year I can justify that purchase. You guys on this site ROCK! Thanks for all the free advice, Jim

Time to update your sig. line. Good job on the wood! Now, just score some big wood, then you have all the justification you need for a new saw. :cheese: I buy magazines for rifles I don't own, justifies the purchase of the new toy.

here's some pics if they turn out. 1st pic wood on hand. 2nd pic Locust that needs split. 3rd pic 22" to 24" Locust rounds already split so they could be moved "used the new huskee". Silver maple pics soon if this works.
