Alright here is a few pics of how we are getting it down.And one of another friend who is helping cut the logs out.
Yeah I will be splitting the large stuff,but not all of it.I don't want to handle too much huge stuff.We are pulling them down with an IH excavator.Jack gets them down and then Daniel and I cut the stumps loose and the tops.Jack sets them in a pile.Then I bring load the trailer with my skidloader and grapple bucket.
We are dumping them at my nieghbors house as we get them ready to haul.We figure we are getting close to 4 1/2 cords of wood on my trailer on each trip.
My trailer is 8.5' by 24' ,and we load it higher than 4'.We also consider all the space inbetween some of the logs.If it was packed solid it would be 6 cords.
So far I have hauled 5 loads home like this.
Nothing like trees,Chainsaws,and heavy equipment!
