So this happened last week...
Look close, and you'll see my chainsaw on one of the logs, 20" bar, but at an angle. Each 'rack' to the left is a full cord.
A solid north wind knocked out a huge branch from a sugar maple along the road. At the base, 30" across. There were four 12" branches that came off of this each of which was like most of the trees I get. The bulk of the logs in the photo are 10-12 feet long, but the big three are just 6-8. Why risk the tractor? Not in the picture, 1/2 a face cord of smalls destined for my mother's wood stack for next year.
In the background of the photo, you can see the parent maple with the red leaves to the right of the bee hives. It lost the southeast portion of its foliage. Maybe 20% of the tree fell.
Hoping for a full cord from this to almost round out my '18-'19 supply.
