 Topic: Fall is for firewood'en

And a plus is we get to run the tractors some. The D-19 on our homebuilt processor/splitter. We can cut/split up to 25" right on the machine but anything over 25" we saw up with the big irons, they are fun to run too, and use the log lift to put the rounds up on the splitter. The WD is on easy duty shuffling splits to the shed. We usualy back up the shed but are into a corner for the last few loads thus the double handling. Light was bad with bright sunlight and shadows sorry.

Hey Butch, how do you like the narrow front on the 19? I have a D17D narrow front I'm thinking of putting on my LP19. There's only a few inches difference in height, and it looks like it will bolt up.

We like it a lot Ted. Our barn space is tight and so is the shop and the narrow fronts help that situation a lot. Plus it gives the '19 a sassy look I think? We miss the weight from the bolster only when pulling 4-16. We have the weights now but need to get a set of mountings for them. I have seen D-19s wiith 17 pedistals and its obvious. A person would think they are 6" shorter but the are not. Doesnt look terrible or anything just short, you wont clear larger tires like these 9.5Ls on the shorter one I dont think

Butch, that's a great setup for making wood. What is that red Power Unit in the back of the second pic? A Herc or Wauk? Could you possible post a couple of pics of it? TIA

Butch, I see you got the new splitting rig working. What did you end up doing with the old one. You should put a video of that thing together and up on here. Looks like a really awesome unit.
