Trying to get ahead for next year (after joining the forum and finding out I am suppose to be atleast a year or two ahead...) so this past weekend I went to the farm and started getting some wood for next year. Hopefully a few more trips this fall/winter will get me enough for next year and then in the spring start working on the year after. Thats the plan anyhow... I'll be happy if I can atleast get 1 full year ahead for now.
Its pretty nice back there so thought I'd snap a few pics, and of course my fully loaded (over) rig back at the house...
As far as I dare go with the 1 ton and 'conticrap' pizza cutter tires:
Here is a 'panoramic' shot between the two pipelines. Its actually a few photos wide stitched together (about 3-4X wider than my camera could take in a single shot)
The ol' 70s IH cub has done me well, wish I had one of them fancy UTV's but for what I spent on the cub and as tough as nails it is I am pretty happy. With the deck and undercarraige off it has enough clearence with the oversized tires to get back in the woods just fine. I just need a bigger cart for the longer runs! And my 6x10 is to large and heavy for the steep and uneven hills there.
And back at home:
By my calcs I had a hair over a cord on the truck and some more on the trailer but didnt measure that. Its a long drive from the families farm, but overall worth the -3mpg I got on the return and the fun time (sshhh dont tell my wife that) I had in the woods.
