what logs have you been chopping today!

[gdh]

It's still going well, only issue is that anything under 8 inch diameter seems really slow and splits a bit too small with the 12 way splitter but as long as there's bigger stuff it makes nice quality wood.

 

We cut to keep our drying shed full and replace what we sell but we're selling 30 loads a week at the moment (1.8 - 2.4cube) and we're lambing 450 sheep plus all the other farm work so we're just cutting a few tons every day to try and keep up.

Been busy on woodchip today, it's nice to be using straight softwood for a change.

 

Some of the wood is slowly drying outside now but the oak we've got to cut next hasn't got enough air flow where it's stacked so that could be fun.

Some nice bits of kit there, i never really heard or saw deutz fehr tractors before I went to lamma'16 but sure them there got in a couple and had a good look around they look like an impressive machine, well built and I think there quite a cool looking tractor, if I was to get a new large tractor id definitely consider them

Yes, they're good tractors. We converted from masseys when pallisers, the dealer did because we wanted to stick with a dealer we knew was good.

Billeted about 3 tons of London plane today, not a wood I have had before but it split and sawed very nicely, what tis it like to burn once properly seasoned?

Burns for ages, stays heavy when seasoned. Low flame and leaves good embers for the morning

Cutting oak today, big stuff through the proceesor, small stuff with the chainsaw.

 

Glad we were inside, there was a little bit of hail.

And I hate hail, nearly as bad as rain, least its been rather pleasant lately on the weather front but bet it wont last.....
