I'm sure there are some amazing fire wood handling systems between all you forum users. Ran across this the other day.

Cut in woods, haul down to processing area, cut to length, split, stack in pallet racks, bring to boiler with tractor.

Load an old 30x50 cord crib with the loader tractor.  Holds about 10 cord at a time.  It gets me through the snow

Have 4 hay racks, stack full and park till they get backed up next to boiler one at a time. Handle it twice once it's in the stove.

Drop, top, drag em out for the processor. Shove that in a BIG pile, then the wife stacks in racks till ready for use.

I love my tracked skid steer, however keep driving in the same spot like when I’m using my inverted log splitter the snow soon packs into ice then it’s next to worthless. Spreading some ashes around helps a little, best just to scrape the snow off to bare concrete no matter what that takes.

Drive some sheet metal screws into the track as ice pics, we do it on our 4 wheelers and I do it on my CAT every year so I don't slide down the driveway into the state highway during ice storms, remove them in the spring before the 5/16 head disappears and reuse them.

Oops, for those who don't understand real winter life and New England ingenuity, buy the screw length that doesn't go all the way through. Watch, somebody isn't going to like that statement!

Get the ones with the regular screwdriver slot in them.

Knew that 30 years ago when I raced Hare Scrambles, last few races were always in the snow. A good set of tire chains work better here, far as the skid steer if it starts getting that slick it’s time to spread a little salt and take the skid shoes of the plow truck so it goes all the way down to the gravel.

Even the winter of 2012/2013 when we had the polar vortex after polar vortex we still had a January thaw, all the railroad rock in the drives would play hell on sheetmetal screws in tractor treads or especially in the skid steer tracks.
