The focus is on practical yard layout decisions, angle of approach, pile orientation, working room around a processor, rather than tractor specs or loader controls. Best for firewood operators curious how the grapple handles real log-sorting work.
Posted by the In The Woodyard channel, which appears to run a firewood production operation and shares working sessions from that owner-operator perspective.
The operator can sell hickory separately and charge more for it because he pays more for it, so mixing it with oak loses that value.
Since there is not enough room to approach straight on, the operator comes in at an angle with the tractor and picks logs off a few at a time.
Split to no more than about three inches wide and dried on pallets in sun and wind, oak can be ready in six to seven months.
