On my farm, I can get a year's worth of firewood pulled up behind my barn in one weekend, where I can later split it when it is convenient. We have alot of dead ASH trees on our fence rows, and creek beds that I cut the tops off of, throw a chain around the log, and drag it through the fields up into a neat pile behind my barn where it is stable, flat ground with no brush to trip over, or heavy rounds to lift onto a trailer or truck. If there is any lifting to do, I roll the rounds into my JD frontend loader and dump them into the bed of my truck.

I go back and cut up the tops to stove length, and stack into the bucket of the tractor which I then drive right up to my wood pile to stack it for seasoning.....so much less handling this way.
