Yes Sir. A deal over a year in the making.
Yes. More than a couple of seasons. I need more customers now!
You need to ask John about his firewood processor. Pretty impressive machine.
We did not talk about that, but I've seen them on YouTube. If you have a bunch of poles that are 20" diameter or less, they are a gamechanger.
I did talk to him about how I was going to tackle all the tops that he is leaving me for firewood. I explained that in the past, I brought the wood to the splitter next to the cabin for rounding and splitting. We agreed it would be more efficient if I could pull the splitter into the woods next to the top while I'm cutting it up. Round and split the wood there, and then use the Gator and a wagon to bring it out of the woods to stacks near the cabin.
I do the same. I cut rounds in the woods. I only split them in the woods if I can’t lift the rounds, so I may make halves or quarters. I load them in the side by side and bring them to my pile to split and stack. I handle it once to load the side by side and once to unload, split, and stack.
I’m always looking for ways to be more efficient.
As discussed before, herein lies the problem.....
I must say, after our neighbor came over and spread a pile of driveway gravel with his tractor and watching the loggers use their tools, the OG has gotten on board with acquiring a tractor sooner than later.
And the angels sang a glorious song...
Whoa whoa, slow down there cowboy with all of that tractor talk! @indyjohn I said I could see the need for it...
BTW, I can also see a need for an excavator w/ a rake and thumb but you aren't putting that under the Christmas Tree for me just yet.

An excavator is what the gardener wants. I like the idea of the thumb for picking up logs and such.
My woods were selectively cut 33 years ago, but I like my trees too much to cut them again. I’ll let my heirs cut them down after I’m gone (unless of course I have a financial or medical emergency). In the meantime, I’ll just enjoy them as they are.
Would a Bobcat (with multiple attachments) be a useful all-in-one machine for woods living ?
