The Big And Little Of It

It was a very loud day with equipment of all types running in the landing. Logging dozer, chain saws, small splitter, hydraulic splitter, tractor and the Gator were all taking turns.

While I was busy on my side of the wood deck splitting chunks of 16 inch wood into bundle-able sized pieces. Mike was messing around on the far side of the same deck wrangling the over-sized butt chunks that had been piled up early in the summer. Some of these pieces 12 feet or more in length with a circumference bigger than I am tall.

The only way the some of the pieces can be moved around is with the logging dozer or the tines on the front of the tractor. Mike whittles them into manageable pieces with his big chainsaw and then splits them with the heavy duty hydraulic wood splitter. As long as the chunks are less than 75 lbs, they will work fine in our outdoor wood-fired boiler that we use to heat the house and domestic hot water.
