A neighbor about a mile down the road asked if I wanted to buy some wood. Brother and I went down and loaded it up. Quite a haul, 4 ricks of green Hickory, Wild Cherry, Maple, and a little walnut. Won't have to worry about wood for a couple of winters. The RTV is a real trooper.
A little wood

The wagon is a Kory 3000, found it at Cecilia Tractor in Cecilia, Ky. I bought the running gear and made the frame and sides. Picture, first row on the right is one of mine, and some more pics on down the page.

Good find.That would last me about 4 months up here in the artic (michigan)
That's a fine pile of wood!
Why the duely's on the tractor?
I have about 75 face cord laying in logs right now. Will need to get all that processed in the Spring.

4 ricks (face cord) in 4 months? Oh my. I go through a face cord every 9-10 days if both wood burners are running.

I built a new home and installed geothermal heating, now burning wood is a luxury for me, not a necessity. Don't need it but I still like a nice fire once in awhile, so I did install a fireplace and I have a wood stove in a sun room off the house. I keep a two to three year supply of dried maple with a little yellow birch on hand all from blowdowns. I only use 1-1.5 cords a year. I sell what I can't use myself.

I am cutting my fifth tri-axle load of logs just to make it through this winter. Wish the wife would give up heating 2 greenhouses all winter. It would cut my wood consumption about in half.

Although I do not heat our home with cord wood, my workshop/RTV/Tractor storage building is insulated and heated with an air tight wood stove. Nice and toasty regardless of the out door temps when that little fella is lit. Here's a load of oak, ash and maple mix for next year. I run a snow clearing enterprise on the side to augment my feeble retirement income and it is nice to pull into a heated enclosure to melt the snow and do any maintenance. Anyone who has had to replace a shear bolt when it is below zero can appreciate a warm winter workplace.

You might say that I have an aversion to frost bite.
