The heat has dissipated a bit after a really hot July. All the 1st. and 2nd. cut hay has been harvested, and oats and straw are all harvested and baled and I have my helper back for this week, before 3rd cut hay beggins, and beans are ready. We have been getting lots of afternoon T storms so it has been a bit slow going. Storm yesterday was pretty strong. Some really strong winds that took down some trees and knocked down some of the beans. My cousin and Dustin managed to finish baling the oat straw and got the wagons under cover before the storm hit. I recorded 2.34" of rain in the time it took to pass plus some hail Dustin and I made a load last week in smaller trailer (about 1-1/4 cord), and today we filled the big trailer with a bit over 1-1/2 cord. It is supposed to rain again tomorrow and Wed. so we will unload and stack what we processed today in the woodshed tomorrow, weather permitting.----I do all my skidding in the woods with my Kubota B2150 equipped with loader and shop built 3pt skidding arch. It gets in between the trees well and leaves very little collateral damage. Things go pretty quickly when the logs are blocked and Dustin just has to set them on or roll the heavy blocks to lifting tray on my shop built splitter and elevator.
I have built swing out tool racks onto the sides of my processor tractor to carry everything we need when processing wood, including places to hold saws, and splitter fuel and food and drink for ourselves.
Todays load with the bigger trailer and my 831C.
The lifting tray can be mounted on either side of the splitter and folds up over the splitter for transport. I recently built a stabilizer leg assy. that I can adjust to support the splitter rather than just suspending it on the 3pt of the tractor and that also folds up by removing one pin and folding the legs up and putting the pin back into a transport position.You may have also noticed the comfy seat in the earlier pics. I don't always have Dustin's help, so when he is not here my wife comes up and runs the splitter and elevator for me while I gather up and split the blocks. Elevator is powered by the splitter only when the cylinder returns to retracted position. Just a single spool valve and elevator does not have to run constantly. The elevator gets hooked to a hitch on the back of splitter for transport.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
