One of the joys of living down the road from my parents is the ability to bum their tools. I've had my father's new-to-him Bobcat S185 out on my property for the past week. Well, he wants it back, so I rented a rock grapple type attachment this morning to do the last pre-winter heavy machine work.
I moved roughly 4-5 cords worth of log length wood onto a couple skids in the backside of the property where I plan on bucking and splitting. I don't know how you guys can get perfect stacks of log-length wood. Mine is more of a "pile" than a stack, with logs sticking every which way . My main intention was getting 95% of it off of the dirt and into a central & permanent location for processing.
I still have random felled trees here and there that I didn't get to before I had to get back to the day job. So those will have to get bucked and thrown into a trailer to haul to the back.
This is addicting...
Hopefully I can get some pictures of my mess tomorrow and start doing some bucking, splitting (my favorite part), and stacking.
