Okay...Don't laugh, it's called a bad back!

Whats in there on that one tulip.

I do...for the "bigger than that" rounds. I use the bucket as a work bench. Split in half, push one side in the bucket and knock out the other side, then on to the other half and reapeat. Less bending over makes me more productive for the long hall. Lots of Ibuprofen before bed time!

LOL! I just spewed my coffee all over the screen! Good thing I'm at work.

Sounds soooo familiar. Love my tractor!!

Yes you do...have the little women give me a call, I'll set you right up in know time

No clue, never done this before. Speed is not on the short list right now.

Not black birtch. I have 4 of them growing nicely in my yard....just growing and waiting!

My wife says the same thing...Mmmmm...

Wow ,if i had the cash i'd have one of those too. Thats nice .

Had that long before the wood stove and this new addiction!

Prepare yourself....you will need more toys... I have been selling off older tractors and replacing some of them. I am looking for a smaller tractor with FIL...might have to look into a backhoe for it...hmmm Just look what you started...ha

Pretty nice setup. Maybe I'm jealous, but I can't help but think that I could buy a LOT of split firewood, and have them stack it for me, for the $$$ you have invested in machinery. If had/needed it already, then more power to ya. Maybe you just have a bigger toy budget than I do.

Well, I already had the tractor. The cost of oil directed me to put in an EPA rated wood stove. Around here 150 gallons of oil is roughly 500-600 dollars. From my research, 150 gallons of oil is equal to +/-1 cord of wood in this stove. Buying wood c/s and delivered is 275-350 and not so seasoned properly. This grapple load if it is say 8 cord, works out around 65 - 75 per cord.
