Weekend scrounging

[laxin213]

Did some cleanup on my land and also a friends too. I don't think all will be firewood but most will be, some is going to have to go in the burn pit. If it's lying on the ground and it's hard on all sides and after being bucked up both cut sides are firm enough you can't poke through them will most likely split and dry into firewood? Im hoping yes I'm going to make separate pile and see, nice to Hear some Opinions on too... 'm trying to save a lot of blown down stuff around me that in the past we would let rot because on a family farm we had 80 acres to choose from and now I've got about 7.










Thanks.

As long as it doesn't turn to mush when you split it, it should be fine. I like your loading techniques

I have been wondering the same thing driving down the road the last week...there is deadwood everywhere. Can't I just pull over and start picking it up?

I've had atvs and the Deere is a different beast. The Deere excels at chores and hauling gear. It has a dump and can tow. Atvs are much more narrow and work through the woods better, and atvs are better in the wet stuff and deep mud. The gator can and does frame out in the swampy really wet stuff, that's where a winch comes in. But the gator is a great luxury. I take my garbage out and get mail down my 1400' driveway, and haul firewood, mulch, etc and gear around great. In an ideal world I'd own both but I currently own the gator and do use it constantly.

Gators are great fun.
I have a large ATV with a great trailer. I use it for hauling large loads all over the woods. I have yet to get stuck. Does a great job.
