Been at the wood pile cutting it up for the last while. Got the Ford 1210 compact 16 hp diesel tractor hooked to the sawbench. Some easy on fuel, compared to the 1951 Ferguson tractor. Got a bunch cut yesterday.

Re: Still at the wood.
Doing a little clean up today. I’ll get the LGT 100 Ford tractor out and take that trailer full of stuff to the dumping spot.

Re: Still at the wood.
I recall you posted video of this setup and the smaller Ford tractor did quite well cutting the wood.
Have you ever looked into adding more insulation to your house to reduce your wood consumption? I had about a foot of I insulation blown into my attic on top of the existing insulation + some other upgrades in my 2014 built house. My propane consumption is down 100 gallons a year. I paid 25% ($800) as part of a local utility program. It's been 3 years and its basically paid for itself + my upstairs is cooler in the summer resulting in a lower HVAC bill.

Re: Still at the wood.
Matt. I only burn wood in my garage. But my son and my sister in law burn wood in there houses that this wood supply’s. Son’s house built in 1840. By my many great grandfathers ago. Sister in laws house built in 1920 by my grandfather. Both houses were fix up with in the last 15 years. I could use some blowen in insulation in my garage attic. Some day maybe.MattA wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2024 9:52 am I recall you posted video of this setup and the smaller Ford tractor did quite well cutting the wood.

Re: Still at the wood.
Sooo, finished stacking the softwood today and cleaned up the mess from where that pile was sitting. Now on to the hardwood pile to stack. Tomorrow. It’s about twice as much as the softwood pile.
The two items in the last two pictures are free. Come and getum.

Re: Still at the wood.
That’s a light one. We stack it higher than that with hardwood. That was mostly throwen in then kind of stacked at the top. The MF7 will pull it loaded with hardwood, fuller than that.
