Very nice pile of wood.
Nice equipment too. :)
 
I will go 2.25 cords
 
smokinjay's math is spot on. I was guessing 2+. A cord is a lot more wood than most people realize. All the same, it is still a great pile to gloat on.
 
I'd guess crackshot's 3.5 is pretty close. 12*18*5 is 1080 cu ft. Even if you take a third off for non-vertical sides of the pile, that is still 700+ cu ft. Nice hoe, what's she doin slummin around firewood?
 
Good job crackshot.
 
thanks guys,.... solarandwood,.... shes waitin for nice weather and for somebody to give me some side work! lol.......get the taxes back in a week or so,.... started the hearth,.... almost done just have to tile her,....

I miss my 410. I didn't realize how relatively useless the little 3 pt hoes are until I bent the rod on the main cylinder the first time I used it.

ouch,... that sucks,.... yeah the lil fellers are ok for some things,... but its better to have a real bhoe,.... why did you get rid of the 410?

I bought it to excavate the lower side of the house, solve some drainage issues and build a garden terrace. I thought I was done and could finish the "little" stuff with the 3 pt. Should have tried the 3 pt before I got rid of the 410. No worries though, I have the big gun until the project is done. And its not going anywhere until I am done done as long as it takes.

A friend of ours manages a bar and someone left him tied up in the alley. We test drove for that weekend but the dog is a runner and I don't have the patience.
