Now,now steve I am cold blooded I guess my fire has not hardly gone out since Oct. Got this big stone faced brick and cement fire place. Only burn oak, cover the burning piece in ashes when I go to bed. Scratch the ashes off the red glowing coals, add the little splinters from splitting and bark pieces small twigs and away my fire goes. Put your hand up on the rocks in the morning and those rocks are still warmer than the air. Lord help me if I had to heat with only propane at triple the price it is in fly over country. Just cause it will be 70 this afternoon, it is a little less than 60 in here right now but not bad with my feet in the fire as I peck away.Now Shameless I never have had the privilege of meeting Mel, but I am will to go out
 on a limb here. No more trouble to cut and burn oak that puts out lots more heat than fir trees. Gives more time with your feet up and less time dragging in more wood. |

Ok...Thanks Ray for baling us out...he's right about this....my brother and I were just reminiscing the other day about our mother covering up the coals at night and uncovering them in the morning to get the fire going..worked well. What shameless doesn't know is that my loving wife will get up in the night and put wood on the fire...she also likes to run the splitter. So the reason we showed those videos of burning slash....that would make fire wood...but not our preferred fire wood is because this it what we have in our yard to make fire wood out of       And a BLUE FORD TRUCK !!! LOL

| and yes MEL...i really do enjoy cutting firewood, just right now my back won't let me pick up and carry the chunks PfffffT! but i still cut. my splitter mounts on the 3-pt of my 180. it's a good splitter, at tractor idle it'll split anything, if it don't split it, it cuts thru it. i need to figger out some kinda lift to put the chunks up on it. i cut anything from 3" rounds on up for firewood. i just gave a pickup load to the cub & boy scouts for their camp fires. when i see clean piles of cut trees laying in piles like i see on your vids...it just makes me slobber all over! no brush to cut off, yank out, or trip over. |

| Dang, splitting firewood when the grass is green. Shameless I can't run the saw over 20 minutes. I also have a 3 point splitter but I leave it sitting in the ground and tie the hydraulic lever on the tractor back. Taint so far to lift the stuff. Havnt tried it on the 200 yet but it worked good on the 17 last year. |

| Tom...i too have set mine on the ground, but it also includes bending over alot too, so not really saving anything. one thing that worked well years ago, when i cut the firewood, i'd throw it into an old PTO chit spreader, then set the splitter up on the back of it, that allowed me to grab the chunks at waist high and set them right on the splitter, when it got to far to reach thye chunks, i turned on the spreaders apron chain and ran them back to the end to the splitter. it worked very well. (the beater was off the spreader) |

| Shameless you're getting the right idea. Hydraulics, lift cylinder, and a few odds and ends and your loader is ready to go. Leon |

Sure does look pretty there Mel, it would appear that the area is recovering nicely just the way Mother Nature intended. The green here is dying back already only a couple of inches of rainfall, I am sure Ray has had about 4 times that much, which is normal. You know what they say, in the Book of Genesis, God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights and a great flood covered the Earth, Shandon got a half inch out of that one.
