you have to climb under the loader at times

Hi guys, some impressive set ups there for sure, Tomatin, how do you find the seasoning goes with the logs in big piles like that or is the wood already seasoned before its cut and split?

 

cheers

When I do big piles of logs in shed the wood was already dry so did not really have mould problems

Very interested in knowing how you get on with the bobcat mate? I have tried to find decent loader tractor for a while but i dont really need the tractor just a loader really and bobcat may work well.

My 2 best purchases last year were: Army waterproof jacket and Bobcat. I almost bought a second tractor for handling wood. So glad I didn't! My Bobcat can lift a ton, it turns like a tank so can stack in tight spots, can stack as high as 3 m3 pallets on one another. It loads my trailer up in no time and great for lifting wood from stacks. All in all awesome, I would be lost without it now!

I had a 2 ton skid steer years ago, 1 of my biggest regrets was selling it.

Trying to find a good second hand 1 isnt easy.

Great set up guys , oh for a big shed !

I have had a 751 bobcat for 13 years. Brilliant versatile bit of kit. A jcb robot may be better for the log job because you can get in and out easier. The only down side is the mess a skid steer makes if you are working on mud.
