Sav, just thought I would tell you the 20 ton MTD popped open the biggest rounds.
Weatherguy, since I promised the wife we would use the boat more this summer I'm taking advantage of the good weather early on. Never had a vacation since we opened our own business in 1986.
A vacation to me is a long weekend(3 days) I took 4 days for our HM when we got married.
Around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) it's mostly scrub, coniferous and a few big, choice hardwoods. I believe we are on the northern cusp of the Carolinian type forest. About an hour's north there are large expanses of maple, softwoods, some beech (lotsa poplar) and others like birch, oak and so on.
It occurs to me after reading the posts from you guy's down south that the further south you get, the higher the average BTU is. A lot of the species I read that you guy's cull on a regular basis are either rare or not to be found in these parts. And the size of some of the monsters I see getting bucked in your pics. Trees of that size in this neck of the woods are only to be found in downtown Toronto where they are protected by law, CCTV surveillance and round the clock tree huggers.
Good job, Zap! That's a good heap of splits you made there. I always enjoy doing cherry because it cuts, splits, smells, looks and burns good. Thanks for the pics!
WS, it was the four round off the stump. The round nearest the stump had a chit load of ants so I split it then through it in a seperate area which received plenty of sun.
