The old farmer who lets us take the wood just installed the weighbridge. So he's still pretty keen on testing it out.

The trailer may or may not have been over it's 1.4T limit at time of the photo.....

Afterthought.  Ie. Spotted it still lying on the ground when driving off.

I hope not!

I've still got to unload and split most of it.  My back is still protesting from cutting and loading 2 trailers.

I have a Husky 236 and am happy with it, just as I am sure you will get replies from happy Stihl owners. Pick the one with the closest store and best service and you won't go too far wrong.

Been cutting up some of the last lot of firewood I collected off a farm. The farmer was generous enough to lend me his tip truck and loaded the wood with the front end loader. Tipped off in the yard and have been putting most of it through the saw bench.

I have also replenished the pig wood pile so looks like we'll have to go camping again to get rid of it!!

Cut a load on the weekend. It was a bit hard on the saw due to termites but still got some solid wood out of it. Dulled off 2 chains. Nice dry stuff ready to burn.
