Let’s see those firewood haulers

[WHGuy413 2,756]

It’s that time of year that the firewood gets moved from the pile to the house. I did 3 loads with my trusty 12automatic today. Hoping I don’t need to do wood again for 2 plus weeks. All depends on the weather and how much the stove eats. Wood is my primary heat/hot water source from late fall til mid spring usually. The trailer was built by my late grandfather who also was a wheel horse addict but I never knew it. I knew he liked them just not how much until he passed and I found his parts and spare tractors.It is built out of an old oil tank and is used year round for many different things.

Matt Nice to know that your family has a nice history of Wheel Horse.  That trailer looks it serves you well. See you at the shows next year.

I love that pic Paul ... and to think a LR was supposed to be just a cheaper mower. Guess we showed them!

A two day heatwave in the forecast, so a good day to shut down the wood burner and clean out the ashes and soot. 

Then haul in a couple loads of fuel.

This was more of a quick storm cleanup mode for the in-laws.  Chipper on the front with a 2" receiver and the cart and saw on the back to take what will be good for firewood.

Hell ya! This is why I bought my first Wheel Horse this year: to haul firewood up to the house rack from my drying racks down further on the micro-homestead...

 

I haul 4 carts of splits (about 1/5 a cord) up to the house every 2 to 3 weeks. For the last 5 years I've been doing it by hand, pushing a wheel barrow uphill, about 50 yards. This started to get to be a bit much especially when it was really muddy or really icy. Hurt my back or tripped one too many times. Now I've got a beautiful Horse and have become a part of the hobby!

 

The way my property lies, I can't bring the tractor right up to the house rack - there's a patio with furniture, a deck, and a picnic table in the way.

 

So I pull the tractor up close to the house, disconnect the cart and attach the handle, and wheel the cart about 7 yards over to the rack, unload, bring the cart back and attach it, and go back down. Likewise, can't get the tractor in between the racks so I disconnect cart, wheel over a few feet to the rack, fill her up, reconnect, and haul her uphill!

 

Sounds tedious but I have a great system going now and it's pretty straight forward. Loving this tractor.
