That makes me think of a question I’ve often ask myself if I could have one piece of equipment what would it be besides a wood splitter.?

It is. I'd love a compact telehandler and a wheel loader and an excavator and a skid loader and a nice sized utility tractor, but it's not in the cards for me. A large hydrostatic CUT is a heck of a handy machine. That's 40% of a cord of softwood on the forks, plus it'll run 3 point implements too. If I could pick only one machine to do my tasks it'd be a big CUT, though I'd trade mine for a cabbed model with all the bells and whistles in this dream scenario.

Do you get all your wood from your property ?It looks like you have a lot of land

My dad used to have a 2 wheel drive loader similar to that one. I remember when I was like 8 yrs old he was stacking the wood just like you have in the bucket. I was sitting in the cab with the engine off and I forgot that the hydraulics would lower the bucket still. Well he just got done filling the bucket up and I pushed the control lever up and out and I dumped the whole thing right in front of him. He looked up at me and looked at him and I ran in the house as fast as I could. Lol.

No, though I do cut a lot here. I only own 20 acres, but I also cut on my dad's 20 which is adjoining. Half of the land is wooded with pretty dense hardwoods. We burn a lot though. Between the houses and the sugarbush we probably go through close to 20 cords a year, plus I like to sell a few.

Every year I try to buy a truckload of logs if I can find it for under $100/cord delivered. I also get some dump trailer loads delivered from my buddy who has a one man tree service. No wrong was to get firewood I figure.

If I could find an older used one with an open cab that would be the nuts for me. Put it right in back of the dump trailer that has ramps. Go to the site and get it home.

Nice Matt.
