Today we are heading out I to the woods to cut up an oak tree that uprooted last fall. The tree was on the bank of our pond, and luckily fell away from the water. This is a decent sized tree and will provide a food amount of firewood.

I cut my own firewood, so I can use everything that will fit in my stove. LOL I drop the tree then get rid of the small stuff anything smaller than my thumb. then start at the top and cut everything bigger than my thumb into 16" lengths , I try to use as much of the tree as possible, as little waste as I can . I know this may take a little longer than some will want to take but I work by myself and only use it myself. I am 76 years old now and I like spending time in the woods doing something I enjoy, about 2 1/2 months a few 4 hour days a week and that get me about 6 cords.

I've found wood is easier to split if the round is set to where the portion toward the top of the tree is on the top side.

@Nick Price Takes less time to cut it than to split larger wood. And some of the wood is being split down to 4" anyway. 4" split wood produces the same heat as 4" non split. In fact, the branch portions of a tree often produce more btu's than the trunk.

That is the power of a log arch with balloon tires it can haul logs out of we swampy areas you would never want to bring equipment into using a winch to pull off other trees to get it to a spot you can hook up to it with a truck/tractor/atv to haul back to saw up or cut into rounds to split. Also no destroyed ground or mud in the bark of the tree from dragging it.

Watching you do all that just wore me out LOL. Been there done that plenty. I do try to take my splitter to where the tree is if possible. That way when I cut it I can split it then haul it to a wood stack saving me from having to handle it as much. I realize that it's not always possible to do so. I just cut up and split a bunch more Oak and Hickory that will hopefully be ready next season. I do know what 12 hour shifts are like for an extended period of time. I did that while I was in the Navy (which it's normal on a ship). I also did so in my civilian job after 9/11. It's not fun and is taxing. One key thing, at least for me was to eat well and stay hydrated. On a final note, I hope you and your bride are doing well during this pandemic that we are going through. If I recall correctly she is a health professional. I do hope that she is able to have access to proper PPE. We will get through this and your videos are even more of a help to me being "quarantined" at the moment. I don't have the illness, but as a safety precaution we are supposed to do so. I just wonder how long I can take it before "cabin fever" kicks in.

He jas bought 2 or 3 of them from a place in New Jersey (nwminitrucks.com). I think you're in Illinois or Indiana? If so, road-legal up to 35 mph (with tag) in Illinois. Any road in Indiana except for Interstates.
