Logging truck load

[wardk]

I had a logging truck load delivered a couple days ago , about 90,000 lbs of birch.Early july I had a back injury so I decided to redo the old three point log splitter. I moved the three point hitch to the end from the side , replaced the flimsy legs ,raised it up a few inches and added a log lift not a bads days work. I think it should be more back friendly now.It doesn't tilt to vertical any more but I always found that function as hard on the back as lifting the rounds.

I very much love the splitting unit and the hydro- lift even more !

Good work.

I think it will work , I will park the bigger tractor next to the splitter and load the bucket , never have to lift off the ground.

nice.
Gotta get right on the processing of the birch, does not dry in the round

Splitter mods are working good. We are about half way through this load and I don,t have to lift these monsters.

Man I wish I had some more birch

Great mods!
I like the catching tray on the other side of the splitter, too.

I like the porta John mod in the first set of pictures.When you gotta go it's close.Great mods looking at building a 3 PT splitter but I want the RAM to split in both directions.No waiting for it to reverse.. Definitely need the catch table too.

That is truly bad ass - having tractor, splitter AND wood envy all at once.

Splitting in both directions is a piece of engineering I'd like to see.I don't think it's for me though, by the time I toss the split in the trailer and arrange the log for the next the couple seconds waiting for the reverse is a nice break.I don't move as fast as I did 25yrs ago. We have a u-pick vegetable farm the porta potty is for the customers so they don't have to go in the house.
