Loader holding wood.

Post by propane1 »

If I only had a hydraulic loader, but this winch operated one works good too. Just can’t lift and hold like a hydraulic one. So you adapt to its capabilities.
Set the wood on it and used a buck saw to cut it up. Or weave the branch through the loader arms makes it even easier to hold and cut. And can stand up and cut. Lot easier on my back. Little cold and damp today so have wood stove on low and after using the buck saw, I’m not cold any more. Coulda used the chainsaw. But I needed the exercise. Mountain ash is what I believe the wood is. Quite a few gone dead. Have a bigger one a little farther out the driveway I’m going to get hopefully today. Its about 8” to 10” at the base. So the chain saw will be used for that, other than the branches around 4” or so and smaller.
Will add pictures of the bigger one , when I get at it. Don’t want it to blow down on the car some day. Hurricane season coming in a few months.

That was sorta a wood ramble. :giggle:

Next tree down and blocked, split, put away.

Anyway. Few more to do. Not critical, but dead and they show up in the greenery of the other trees. Just to get them down and make things look a little better. And get it seasoned so I can burn it. Nasty old wood, twisted and wet.

And dirt, scratches on the paint. Jumpins. :40:

A little dirt and a couple of scratches makes it an honest good looking work tractor, not a trailer queen. Nothing wrong with that!

I think the paint on the floor boards was gone on most of my machines before I was born... Continued application of dirt and oil mixture from boots seems to keep them from rusting... :spin:

Figured I’d do a few more branches in the sunny 70F (21C) heat. Used a extension hand saw to get the branches down, then used a hand buck saw to cut them up, cutting with the right arm and switch to the left arm. Good exercise for the arms. This poor old fat fella needs exercise. :giggle:
Anyway got some done today, still some more yet. Seems the more you look, the more ya find. Gives some exercise, makes the woods look better and some extra firewood. Plus fun and work with the tractor.

Little more done today. A few minutes with the chainsaw to cut up the branches on the loader, until the saw ran out of gas, so the last quarter of the cutting was done with the buck saw. Saving gas, I guess.
Anyway, nice little load of hardwood.
